Harbaugh's right-hand man suspended after DUI arrest

Jim Harbaugh's right-hand man with the Michigan football program – his long-time friend Jim Minick – has been suspended indefinitely following a weekend arrest on suspicion of driving under the influence.

Harbaugh announced the suspension early this evening after reports surfaced about two hours earlier of Minick's arrest.

"Jim Minick made a regrettable decision last week and was arrested for operating a vehicle while intoxicated," Harbaugh said in a statement. "Jim makes no excuses, regrets this decision and understands the consequences for his actions. Due to the serious nature of this event, Jim Minick has been suspended indefinitely and we ask for your understanding while we address the situation.
