Michigan’s head football coach, Sherrone Moore, was just fired, and the situation centers on misconduct off the field. The story is still developing, but some key details are public.
Firing and stated reason
The University of Michigan announced on December 10, 2025, that it had terminated Sherrone Moore “with cause,” effective immediately, after an internal investigation.
The university said the investigation found that Moore engaged in an “inappropriate relationship” with a staff member, which it characterized as a clear violation of school policy and cited its zero‑tolerance stance for such behavior.
Police involvement
Later the same day, multiple outlets reported that Moore was detained by local police in Michigan and is being investigated for potential charges.
Details of any possible criminal allegations have not been fully disclosed, and as of the latest reports he had been turned over to another jurisdiction for further investigation, not formally charged.
Football and prior context
Moore had been promoted to head coach after serving as offensive coordinator under Jim Harbaugh and led Michigan for two seasons, going 8–5 in his first year and 9–3 in his second.
He had previously been suspended in 2025 for two games as part of Michigan’s broader sign‑stealing/NCAA violations case, and an associate coach, Biff Poggi, has now been named interim head coach following his firing.
If you meant a different Michigan coach (for example, in another sport or at another school in Michigan), say which team or coach and the time frame, and that can be clarified.
