Sherrone Moore was fired by the University of Michigan because the school said he had an inappropriate relationship with a staff member and that this violated university policy.
Official reason
Michigan announced that Moore was terminated “for cause,” meaning the school believes his conduct clearly broke university rules rather than this being a routine or performance-based dismissal. The athletic department stated that a university investigation produced credible evidence that he engaged in an inappropriate relationship with a staff member, which they described as a clear violation of policy and something they have zero tolerance for.
Other known details
Because the firing was for cause, reports note that Michigan does not owe Moore the buyout that would normally be paid if a coach were let go without such a policy violation. Separate reporting also indicates that Moore was detained by police in the Saline, Michigan area hours after his firing, though details of that situation and any potential charges have not been fully made public.
