ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) -- The University of Michigan has placed offensive co-coordinator and quarterbacks coach Matt Weiss on leave.
Weiss was put on leave amid an investigation by university police into a report of computer access crimes over a three-day span last month at Schembechler Hall, where coach Jim Harbaugh and his staff have offices and the Wolverines practice.
"Since this is an ongoing investigation, there is no additional information to share," University of Michigan police said in a statement Wednesday.
Weiss said in a statement to ESPN that he is fully cooperating with investigators and looks forward to the matter being resolved. Weiss has not responded to messages from The Associated Press.
Harbaugh hired Weiss nearly two years ago as quarterbacks coach and promoted him to co-offensive coordinator last season, giving him a share of play-calling duties with Sherrone Moore.
Michigan finished No. 3 in the AP Top 25 after winning the Big Ten title and losing in a College Football Playoff semifinal for a second straight year.
On Monday, Harbaugh called the school's president to say he's staying, ending another round of speculation that he would return to the NFL.
The 39-year-old Weiss was a part of the Baltimore Ravens' staff, led by Jim Harbaugh's brother, John, from 2009 to 2020. He also was a graduate assistant for four years at Stanford, working on Jim Harbaugh's staff for two seasons. Weiss, who is from New Haven, Connecticut, graduated from Vanderbilt in 2005.
Wellsville coach steps down
WELLSVILLE -- Robert "Moose" Ramsey resigned as the Wellsville High School football coach Tuesday to pursue other coaching opportunities.
Ramsey went 22-36 in six seasons as head coach for the Tigers.
He did not offer a comment when asked about his next stop.
He said he came to the decision over the weekend and met with his players on Tuesday to tell them he was moving on.
"I am grateful for Wellsville for giving me the opportunity to coach for six seasons," Ramsey said. "I was very blessed with the players and staff I had to work with and learned a lot in my time here."
Ramsey, a 1987 graduate of East Liverpool High School, was a finalist for the East Liverpool head coaching position.
Ramsey guided Wellsville to a 4-6 record this past fall and just missed playoff spot in Division VII, Region 25.
The Tigers were 3-4 in the Eastern Ohio Athletic Conference and tied Lisbon and Columbiana for fourth place.
Wellsville started last season with 23 players, nine of them seniors. The Tigers haven't had a winning season since 2014.
Ramsey came to Wellsville for his first head coaching position in 2017 after 10 seasons away from coaching. Ramsey previously served nine season at East Liverpool, two as a junior high assistant and seven as a varsity assistant, including defensive coordinator under head coach Bob Thayer.
Wellsville is accepting applications for head football coach through Jan. 23, although that deadline is expected to be extended.
