Gary Moeller, the University of Michigan football program’s longtime assistant and head coach, died this morning (Monday, July 11).

Moeller, 81, was a 23-year member of the Michigan football team. He was one of 11 coaches in school history to work with the program for more than 20 years, and he was one of five of those 11 to serve as the Wolverines’ head coach (1990-94).

In his five years as head coach, Moeller led the Wolverines to four bowl game victories and a 44-13-3 overall record, including a Rose Bowl victory over Washington.

Moeller’s teams won three Big Ten championships, appeared in five bowl games (1991 Gator, 1992 and 1993 Rose, 1994 Hall of Fame, and 1994 Holiday), and finished in the top 20 of the final national polls five times in a row.

Gary Moeller is survived by his wife Ann, three daughters, Susan, Amy, and Molly, as well as his son, Andy.

Apparently, Andy Moeller, his son, followed in his father’s footsteps, first playing for Michigan and then coaching the Wolverines as a position coach from 2000 to 2007.
