His firing from UM after his drunken outburst, wound up leading to some simmering behind the scenes stuff in the Michigan football department, that is still going on.

He did a pretty damn good job with the Lions in 2000, taking over midseason, and deserved the job full time, but of course Matt Millen screwed it up

Ya but to get tarred and feathered for pretty much what was an unblemished rep all around was unjust.Great article by Mitch Albom
https://www.yahoo.com/video/mitch-albom-gary-moeller-deserved-100101152.html

He’d had no record before that. No trouble, No belligerence. He didn’t have Schembechler’s temper, let alone that of their former mentor, Woody Hayes. He was honorable, his players loved him, he ran a clean program and in five seasons at U-M, while he didn’t win at the same percentage as his famous predecessor, he captured three Big Ten titles and won four out of five bowl games.

Their basketball coach Juwan Howard throws a punch at a UW coach while sober on National TV - shows no remorse - keeps his job - SMDH

Yeah, this one and the Mike Price situation were always a bit strange to me.

“He’s a true American hero and we need to honor those people … we owe them more than we could ever repay them.
Truer words were never spoken. They are known as the Greatest Generation for a reason. RIP

Feherty interviewed him about 5 yrs back on the Golf Channel .Great exchange and an interesting guy. Both were recovering from "the thirst".  Love the fact he played Defense when it meant something. RIP Mr Russell

Yup.  We are down to Kirk, Sulu, and Checkov as the only surviving original series main cast.
