joewilly12 Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 http://deadspin.com/cleveland-browns-suspend-offensive-line-coach-andy-moel-1729183710 Cleveland Browns Suspend Offensive Line Coach Andy Moeller Indefinitely [UPDATES] 234,474 5 Tim MarchmanFiled to: CLEVELAND BROWNS9/07/15 3:10pm Here is a statement the Cleveland Browns just put up on their website: Statement from Cleveland Browns Spokesman on Offensive Line Coach Andy Moeller “Browns offensive line coach Andy Moeller has been suspended indefinitely by the team effective immediately. Over the weekend, Andy was involved in an incident, involving allegations that we take very seriously. We have followed our internal protocol, determining that right now it is best for the team and for Andy to take time away from the organization to focus on his personal matters. We are going to respect the process of investigation on this personal matter and will have no further comment at this time.” Obviously any time words like “incident,” “allegations,” and “personal matters” come up in relation to an NFL coach it’s of interest. While no one seems to be quite sure what sort of incident Moeller is alleged to have been involved in, he does have a track record of being arrested for driving under the influence. Know anything? We’re at tips@deadspin.com. Update (5:00 p.m.): Update (7:39 p.m.): Uh-oh. Andy Moeller is being investigated for allegedly assaulting a female guest at his home, sources familiar with the situation told ESPN Browns reporter Pat McManamon on Monday. A woman called Berea police over the weekend, alleging Moeller had assaulted her, the sources said. The woman was a guest of Moeller’s from Maryland.

pointman Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Sounds like a scumbag like that crap undersized, under skilled, over drugged qb they took in the 1st round of the draft.. who's name no one can remember anymore. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFJF Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 At least they have a coach who will keep people in line over there in Cleveland. No screwing around under Pettine's watch, and his players and staff know it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No screwing around under Pettine's watch, and his players and staff know it. I still think we'd be in a pretty good spot right now if we had fired Rex and promoted Pettine after 2011.

Miss Lonelyhearts Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 and he'll be unemployed by next February No he won't. Farmer is as good as canned but Pettine isn't going anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be...hopefully Bowles is the real deal and anyone who we didn't hire/fire becomes a moot point. Can't wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARodJetsFan Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 (edited) Suspended Browns OL coach Andy Moeller's arrest was related to a "domestic issue." Moeller has a history of alcohol-related arrests. Already suspended indefinitely by the Browns, Moeller is staring at a formal six-game ban from the league.

ARodJetsFan Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 (edited) Sounds like a Domestic Violence arrest to me FWIW. Edited September 8, 2015 by ARodJetsFan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slats Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Waiting on confirmation that this is, indeed, Mike Pettine's fault. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Schroy Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 I still think we'd be in a pretty good spot right now if we had fired Rex and promoted Pettine after 2011. I think Bowles will be a better Coach. IMHO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
varjet Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Although the Browns have invested valuable draft picks in their OL and appear to have picked smartly, this guy despite his faults was likely an important part of that. This would appear to be why he has been around as long as he has, as his issues appear to be acknowledged. Haven't there been other behavioral problems with OL coaches?

RutgersJetFan Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Has anyone thought to ask what the woman did? Perhaps she spoke out of turn or refused to help clean up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Crusher Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Has anyone thought to ask what the woman did? Perhaps she spoke out of turn or refused to help clean up. Point is we don't have the full story yet. Im waiting to see if we have confirmation he was told in writing he should not do the thing he allegedly may have done. Basically we all owe him an apology at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kleckineau Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 NFLPA has previously signed off on 4 game suspensions for telling a woman to get back in the kitchen so the punishment should stick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#27TheDominator Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Nobody posted anything more about this circus? It was getting some radio play here because Moeller was with the Ravens and the woman is from Maryland. On the 911 call, the woman identifies herself as "Sandy" and said she lives in Maryland. She identifies her attacker as Moeller and "he tried to strangle me and beat me up." She initially says she is Moeller's fiancee, "not anymore though." She also told the dispatcher Moeller had been violent before. "I hate to do this to him," she says. "But, you know what? I'm glad I made it out of there in time." http://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nfl/woman-says-in-911-call-browns-assistant-tried-to-strangle-me/ar-AAe47RG?ocid=ansmsnsports11 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
