University of Toledo football coach stepping down

University of Toledo athletic Mike O'Brien said he and football coach Tom Amstutz came to a ''a mutual agreement last weekend'' that Amstutz would step down as coach of the Rockets program. Amstutz, 53, will move to a position as the director of special projects in the Alumni Relations office beginning in January. Amstutz is 57-38 in eight years as coach. He is 2-6 this season, including an upset win over the University of Michigan. ''I'm proud of the body of work I've had at the University of Toledo, '' said the man affectionately referred to as Toledo Tom. ''Now is a good time to be passing the torch.'' O'Brien said a national search to replace Amstutz will begin immediately.
