Kenny Dillingham Emerges as Prominent Name in Michigan Coaching Rumors

Michigan is operating under interim coach Biff Poggi following Sherrone Moore’s dismissal.

Overview

  • Dillingham is being widely linked by fans, media and oddsmakers to Michigan’s vacancy, with BetOnline listing him as the favorite at -200, according to Heavy.
  • Kenny Dillingham has not publicly addressed the latest rumors; in November he told reporters, “I was never leaving… this is home,” as reported by AZ Central.
  • The Arizona State coach signed a January 2025 extension through 2029 with triggers to 2034 and a declining buyout that is $4 million after Dec. 1, 2025, dropping by about $1 million annually.
  • Michigan fired Sherrone Moore for an “inappropriate relationship” with a staffer, and he was later arrested on stalking and home-invasion charges, per reported accounts.
  • Coverage has also noted Dillingham’s December deletion of a “destination addiction” quote post that AZ Central reported appeared to reference Lane Kiffin.
