Less than two weeks after the start of the Spiders' football season, the University of Richmond yesterday the resignation of head coach Latrell Scott accepted after he was arrested for drunk driving, school officials said.
Athletic Director Jim Miller said Scott called him the morning after his arrest yesterday, and the second year coach later tendered his resignation. Meetings were held during the day and the decision was taken to accept the letter, Miller said.
Offensive Line Coordinator Wayne Burg will serve as interim head coach for the season, Miller said. The Spiders open Duke one week from Saturday.
"It's tough,''Miller said in a telephone interview." Clearly Latrell harder. It's a difficult situation for him, certainly.''
An arrest warrant for Scott said it was his second DWI offense within a period of 5-10 years, according to the Henrico County Courts Web site. Miller told reporters that he knew about the earlier arrest and there was an understanding that when Scott was hired another such detention is not acceptable.
The change comes as Scott was preparing his second season. A former employee at Richmond and the Virginia and Tennessee, Scott was hired in December 2009. Then 34, Scott was one of the youngest head coaches in the country.
