Sherrone Moore was recently fired as the head football coach at the University of Michigan and then detained by police the same day.
Firing from Michigan
Michigan announced on December 10, 2025, that it had terminated Moore’s contract “with cause” after a university investigation. Officials said they found credible evidence that he engaged in an inappropriate relationship with a staff member, which they described as a violation of university policy and their zero‑tolerance standards.
Police detention and investigation
Hours after the firing, police in Saline, Michigan, located and detained Moore and then turned him over to Pittsfield Township authorities. He is under investigation for potential charges, but as of the latest reports, officials have not publicly detailed what specific incident or offenses are being examined or whether they are directly tied to the workplace conduct that led to his firing.
Status of Michigan football
Following Moore’s dismissal, Michigan named Biff Poggi as the interim head coach to lead the team. Moore leaves with a two‑season record around 16–18 wins and 8 losses, having taken over after Jim Harbaugh’s departure and guiding Michigan to 8–5 and 9–3 seasons before this scandal.
