What is Matt Weiss accused of?

Matt Weiss, Michigan’s co-offensive coordinator, has been placed on leave while university police investigate a “report of computer access crimes.”

The incident allegedly occurred between December 21 and December 23 2022,  at Schembechler Hall, the team’s football facility, though no further details have been released by UMPD.

A report in the university’s Daily Crime & Fire Log on January 5 2023, mentions “fraudulent activity involving someone accessing university email accounts without authorization,” but Weiss is not named.

Matt Weiss has not participated in the team or recruiting activities since his suspension, and he is not permitted to use team facilities. According to a police spokesman, the investigation is still ongoing.

Matt Weiss said in a statement to ESPN that “I am aware of the ongoing investigation by the University of Michigan Police Department and fully cooperating with investigators.”  “I look forward to the matter being resolved. Out of respect for the integrity of the investigation, I will not have any further comment.”

Following the departure of Josh Gattis, Weiss was promoted to co-offensive coordinator in 2022, along with offensive line coach Sherrone Moore, after spending the 2021 season as quarterbacks coach under coach Jim Harbaugh.
