- Police said they responded to an alleged assault at about 4:10 p.m. in Pittsfield Township, and Moore’s firing was announced roughly a half-hour later.
- Associate head coach Biff Poggi was appointed interim head coach, and Michigan is slated to face Texas in the Citrus Bowl on December 31.
- Because the university terminated Moore with cause, Michigan does not expect to owe a contract buyout under the terms reported by multiple outlets.
- The university has not disclosed details of the relationship or the staff member’s identity, and Moore’s tenure had already included suspensions tied to the program’s sign‑stealing investigation.
