Browns suspend offensive line coach Andy Moeller indefinitely
Prior to coaching for the Cleveland Browns, a job he took in 2014, he was both an assistant and head offensive line coach with the Baltimore Ravens from 2008-2013.
Police were called to Moeller’s home Saturday night but, as first reported by Cleveland Scene Magazine, but he was not arrested.
“Browns offensive line coach Andy Moeller has been suspended indefinitely by the team effective immediately”. The arrest was his third off-field incident involving alchohol.
The Browns released a statement Monday regarding Moeller, who is in his second year with the team. “We’re going to respect the method of investigation on this private matter and could have no additional remark presently”. The police officer who answered the phone said she could provide no information or details. Common supervisor Ray Farmer on Monday started serving his four-game suspension for sending textual content messages to the sideline. “Our focus is very narrow”.
While it’s not fair to speculate about what led to Moeller’s latest suspension, allegations that the franchise takes “very seriously” could potentially indicate that Moeller is facing something more severe, even than another DUI. According to Mary Kay Cabot of Northeast Ohio Media Group, the offensive line coach has had three alcohol related incidents since 2007.
Thomas agreed with Pettine that the makeup of the veteran offensive line will ease the situation and “will really help for us to not miss a beat”.
“We have been in this system two years together now so we have all the groundwork in place”, he said.
Gary Moeller, Andy’s father, was an assistant coach at Michigan from 1969-76 and 1980-89.
