The Cleveland Browns and offensive line coach Andy Moeller have "mutually agreed" to part ways, a team spokesman and Moeller's representative, Paul R. Sheehy, announced via a joint statement on Tuesday. Moeller had been suspended indefinitely by the Browns earlier this month due to allegations that the franchise said they took "very seriously."
On Tuesday, team and coach decided to split.
"The Browns and offensive line coach Andy Moeller have mutually agreed to part ways, effective immediately," the statement reads, per Daryl Ruiter of 92.3 The Fan. "While no charges were filed in connection with the recent accusations asserted against him, and which Andy vehemently denies, he has advised the Browns that he desires to devote his full attention and focus on his family. Andy states that this was a difficult decision but the right one for him, his family, and the club at this point in time."
Moeller has a history of team and league violations during his NFL career. In 2011, while a member of the Baltimore Ravens organization, Moeller was arrested for driving under the influence. He was fined $47,000 and suspended two games.
While Moeller has not faced any charges stemming from the most recent incident, he is alleged to have been involved an altercation with a woman at his home. The woman left and notified Berea police that she wished to file assault charges.
The police report indicated that "no injuries were apparent" and Moeller and the woman gave conflicting statements to the police.
The next day the woman called police and withdrew the complaint.
