RICHMOND, Va. -- Less than two weeks from the start of the Spiders' football season, the University of Richmond on Tuesday accepted the resignation of head coach Latrell Scott after he was arrested for driving while intoxicated, school officials said.

Athletic director Jim Miller said Scott called him in the morning after his Tuesday arrest, and the second-year coach later tendered his resignation. Meetings were held throughout the day and the decision was made to accept the letter, Miller said.

Offensive coordinator Wayne Lineburg will serve as interim head coach for the season, Miller said. The Spiders open at Duke a week from Saturday.

"It's tough," Miller said in a telephone interview Tuesday evening. "It's obviously tougher on Latrell. It's a difficult situation for him, for sure."

An arrest warrant for Scott said it was his second DWI offense within a 5-10 year period, according to the Henrico County courts website. Miller told reporters that he knew of the prior arrest and there was an understanding when Scott was hired that another such arrest would not be acceptable.
