Division II school Grand Valley State has suspended recently hired offensive coordinator Morris Berger after he made a controversial comment regarding Adolf Hitler in an interview conducted with the school's student newspaper.
Lanthorn sports editor Kellen Voss asked Berger with which three historical figures Berger would like to eat dinner.
"This is probably not going to get a good review, but I’m going to say Adolf Hitler," Berger told the Lanthorn. "It was obviously very sad and he had bad motives, but the way he was able to lead was second-to-none. How he rallied a group and a following, I want to know how he did that. Bad intentions of course, but you can’t deny he wasn’t a great leader."

Moss added John F. Kennedy and Christopher Columbus as his second and third options.
GVSU announced on Monday that Berger would be suspended pending a "thorough investigation."
"The comments made by Offensive Coordinator Morris Berger, as reported in The Lanthorn student newspaper, do not reflect the values of Grand Valley State University,” the statement read. “Berger has been suspended and the university is conducting a thorough investigation.”
