Former Coach Sues Michigan Over Cover-Up | Michigan Wolverines Football News
Description
A former Michigan football coach is suing the university, alleging he was scapegoated for a sign-stealing scandal after university leaders allegedly knew about the scheme involving assistant coach Matthew Weiss but failed to report it to the NCAA or the board. Partridge also claims the president ordered staff to avoid documenting the Weiss investigation to keep it secret, and that the school ignored a long-standing inappropriate relationship between head coach Sherrone Moore and an employee — which later led to Moore’s arrest. These scandals, including Harbaugh’s three-game suspension and NCAA probation, have drawn national scrutiny, prompting Michigan to hire an outside firm to investigate its athletics program. Partridge, now with the Seahawks, is seeking damages for what he says was unfair treatment and retaliation.
