Ted Ginn Jr., the head coach of the Columbus Aviators and a former NFL wide receiver, was arrested and charged with driving under the influence in Texas. The incident occurred just days before his team's scheduled matchup.
The Aviators confirmed the arrest in a statement, announcing that offensive coordinator Todd Haley will assume head coaching duties for this Sunday's game against the Dallas Renegades. The organization stated it is aware of the situation and is gathering more information, but emphasized its immediate focus is on the upcoming contest.
Ginn, a celebrated first-round draft pick in 2007, enjoyed a prolific 14-year NFL career before transitioning to coaching. His arrest casts a shadow over the Aviators' season as they prepare for a crucial road game. The team has not provided details on any potential disciplinary actions beyond this weekend's coaching change, leaving Ginn's future with the franchise uncertain as the legal process unfolds.
