Don’t care. He needs to be a Patriot.
Former Michigan co-offensive coordinator Matt Weiss is facing over 20 federal charges for allegedly hacking into the accounts of thousands of college athletes and students across the country to access their “personal, intimate digital photographs and videos” while he was employed by the school.
Weiss was fired in January of 2023 for alleged computer access crimes and the FBI was confirmed to be involved in an investigation into the allegations in October of that year. Thursday, the United States Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Michigan announced that Weiss had been charged with 14 counts of unauthorized access to computers and 10 counts of aggravated identity theft.
Before working at Michigan under former coach Jim Harbaugh for two seasons, Weiss worked for the Baltimore Ravens under Harbaugh's brother, John. According to federal prosecutors, Weiss began illegally accessing accounts when he was with the Ravens.
He’s accused of keeping notes about physical appearances and characteristics of the women whose accounts he accessed and downloaded the passwords they used for their accounts through a third-party vendor. He’s even accused of researching personal information like mother’s maiden names, pets and dates of birth for some women so that he could guess or reset their passwords to personal accounts.
The indictment also accuses Weiss of repeatedly accessing some accounts months or years after he first gained access to look for new photos and videos.
Weiss was placed on leave after he was accused of illegal activities at Michigan’s Schembechler Hall football facility in December of 2022. He was fired after he didn’t attend a meeting with school officials regarding the allegations.

At this pace, by the time he graduates from college, he'll be old enough to retire from the NFL.
