Utah’s athletic director, Mark Harlan, issued a statement Friday confirming Scalley’s suspension as the university launches an investigation into a social media post of the text that surfaced Wednesday. STEELERS’ ALEJANDRO VILLANUEVA BLAMES MEDIA FOR DREW BREES FALLOUT: ‘UNBELIEVABLY DIVISIVE RIGHT NOW’“On Wednesday night, I was made aware of a social media post that referenced a 2013 text message that included racist language, sent by our football program’s defensive coordinator, Morgan Scalley,” Harlan’s statement read. This language is offensive and hurtful to not only the African-American community, but to all,” the statement read, according to an ESPN report. A former safety for the Utes, Scalley began his coaching career at his Alma Mater as an administrative assistant in 2006.
