Andy Moeller

Andy Moeller (pronounced: MOLE-ur) became the Baltimore Ravens' assistant offensive line coach on February 5, 2008. Moeller, who has 21 years of coaching experience on the collegiate level, joins the NFL ranks for the 1st time in his career.

Moeller's experience coaching college offensive linemen speaks for itself. During his 6 years coaching the o-line at Michigan, Andy coached 2 All-Americans: C David Bass (2004) and T Jake Long (2006-07), who is projected to be a top 10 selection in this year's NFL Draft. Under Moeller, Michigan has dominated the All-Big Ten selections list for offensive linemen, and many of his pupils have gone on to successful NFL careers.

Moeller's success in teaching offensive line play throughout his 6-year tenure in the position is evident by the exceptional awards and accolades the linemen and running backs have received. Michigan has had a stellar running game, led by All-American RBs Chris Perry and Mike Hart and has also been strong at pass blocking. In 2004, the Michigan line was anchored by Bass, the co-recipient of the Rimington Trophy (the nation's outstanding center). Bass was joined by teammates RG Matt Lentz and LT Adam Stenavich on the 1st-team All-Big Ten team. Long was awarded 2nd-team honors that same year.

The son of former Michigan head coach, Gary Moeller, Andy joined the Michigan football team in 2000 to coach the offensive tackles and tight ends. He became the Wolverines' offensive line coach in 2002. His line helped pave the way for a 1,000-yard rusher in 5 out of 6 years: twice by 2003 Doak Walker Award winner Perry (2002-03) and 3 times by Michigan's all-time leading rusher Hart (2004, 2006-07).

As the Wolverines' tackles/tight ends coach, Moeller led another strong group. His deep TEs unit caught a total 52 passes for 471 yards and 3 TDs in 2001, and in 2000, the TEs overcame an opening-game injury to co-captain Shawn Thompson to produce another solid collective season, both in pass-catching and run-blocking.

Prior to joining his alma mater, Moeller spent 6 seasons at the University of Missouri, coaching the offensive line from 1997-99 and helping coach Mizzou's TEs, tackles and special teams when he first arrived in Columbia (1994-96). Over the 3-year period when he led the O-line, the Tigers ranked among the nation's top 10 in rushing yards per game. In those 3 years, Missouri had 3 offensive linemen earn All-Big 12 1st-team honors. Andy was also promoted to run game coordinator during his tenure at Missouri.

Moeller's 1st coaching appointment was at Indiana University as a graduate assistant coach (1987). He moved on to coach at Army (1988-93), directing the O-line, inside linebackers and special teams over the course of 6 years.

A 4-year letterman (1983-86) and 2-year starter at linebacker for Michigan, Moeller was co-captain of the 1986 Rose Bowl team as a senior. He earned All-Big Ten 1st-team honors after leading the team with 138 tackles. He still ranks 12th on the school's all-time list for career tackles (326). He graduated from Michigan with a bachelor of arts degree in economics and communications (1987).

Moeller, who was an All-State player at Pioneer (Ann Arbor, MI) HS before starring at Michigan, is married to Molly, another Michigan alumna. They have 4 children: Charlie, Nick, Olivia and Melanie.
