Michigan Fires Sherrone Moore With Cause After Policy Violation

Police booked him in Washtenaw County in an alleged assault case with prosecutors weighing charges before a Friday arraignment.

Overview

  • The university said an internal investigation found credible evidence Moore had an inappropriate relationship with a staff member, constituting a clear violation of policy.
  • Pittsfield Township police said a suspect was taken into custody in an alleged assault; jail records show Moore was booked in Washtenaw County as prosecutors review possible charges.
  • Moore remains in custody with an arraignment scheduled for Friday, and authorities have not released further details while the investigation continues.
  • Associate head coach Biff Poggi was appointed interim head coach as Michigan prepares to face Texas in the Dec. 31 Citrus Bowl.
  • Because the firing was for cause, Michigan does not owe a contract buyout, and the program begins a rapid coaching search as transfer-portal timelines approach; reports say the probe began in November after an anonymous tip.
