From reliable sources: the UM employee presented irrefutable documentation about Moore's conduct to UM leaders this morning. The president and regents had seen enough, and Manuel fired him this afternoon. Moore is now detained in protective custody in a mental health institution.

Confirmed: Toledo finalizing a five-year deal with the Maumee graduate, who has done nothing but win big his entire career. Big-time hire for Bryan Blair and UT.

Sources: Mercer’s Mike Jacobs is working toward a deal to become the next coach at Toledo. He’d replace Jason Candle, who left for UConn. The sides are expected to come together today. He brings an 80.3% winning percentage as a head coach, as he’s 94-23 with no losing seasons.

This morning, @CoachUrbanMeyer met with the media ahead of tonight’s @NFFNetwork Awards Dinner. From the dais, he shared a great Bo Schembechler story from when he was first hired at BGSU. #AyZiggy 🟠🟤

Jason Candle wanted to make sure this Toledo team had structure in place for bowl. With exception of Vince Kehres (Syracuse) and Ross Watson (Iowa State), all assistants — including those expected to join Candle at UConn — will coach UT through Boca Raton Bowl.

Interim Toledo coach Robert Weiner fills us in on mechanics for Boca Raton Bowl. O-line coach Mike Hallett will call the offense. With DC and LB coach Vince Kehres off to Syracuse, CB coach Perry Eliano will call the defense. GA/former UT LB Dan Bolden will coach linebackers.

Bevacqua is furious with the ACC. "We were mystified by the actions of the conference, to attack their biggest business partner in football and a member conference in 24 sports. "They have done permanent damage to the relationship between the conference and Notre Dame."

Update: Toledo star safety Emmanuel McNeil-Warren is practicing and — as of today — planning to play. McNeil-Warren is Rockets’ top draft prospect (and on my ballot as a first-team AP All-American).

Toledo interim coach Robert Weiner said there's a real excitement to finish season strong. Expects a "large — if not all — contingent" of players to participate. When Boca Raton Bowl was announced, "the whole team erupted with excitement," AD Bryan Blair said.
