Former Michigan coach Sherrone Moore reportedly detained by police
Published:
Hours after being dismissed as the head football coach at Michigan, things went from bad to worse for Sherrone Moore.
According to a report from ESPN’s Dan Wetzel, Moore was detained by police in Saline, Michigan, on Wednesday night and turned over to authorities in Pittsfield Township relating to an investigation into potential charges. It’s not immediately clear what led to Moore’s arrest.
Moore was fired for cause by Michigan on Wednesday after a University investigation uncovered “credible evidence” that Moore violated University policy by engaging in an “inappropriate relationship” with a Michigan staff member. The school dismissed Moore, effective immediately, and named Michigan assistant Biff Poggi the interim coach for the team’s bowl game against Texas on Dec. 31.
Moore went 17-8 across 2 full seasons as the Michigan coach. He replaced Jim Harbaugh following the school’s national championship season in 2023, where he served as head coach for 1 game while Harbaugh was suspended.
The Wolverines went 9-3 this season but missed out on the College Football Playoff after losing to Ohio State to end the regular season. Moore’s tenure ended with an 18-8 record as head coach.
Moore, 39, was an assistant on Harbaugh’s staff before being promoted to head coach in January 2024. His dismissal after 2 full seasons in charge marks the shortest tenure by a Michigan head football coach in nearly a century.
