Sherrone Moore was fired due to 'inappropriate relationship'.

Overview

  • The university said an internal investigation found credible evidence Moore engaged in an inappropriate relationship with a staff member, a violation of policy.
  • Associate head coach Biff Poggi was appointed interim coach and is set to lead Michigan against Texas in the Cheez-It Citrus Bowl on December 31.
  • The City of Saline Police Department said Moore was located and detained before being turned over to Pittsfield Township police for investigation into potential charges.
  • Firing Moore for cause means Michigan is not planning to pay his remaining buyout, reported at about $12.3 million, according to ESPN.
  • Moore previously served suspensions linked to the program’s sign-stealing fallout, and his dismissal compresses Michigan’s coaching search ahead of the January 2 transfer-portal window.
