Michigan Names Biff Poggi Acting Coach as Sherrone Moore Begins Two-Game Suspension

The ban tied to the 2023 sign‑stealing case, which cited Moore’s deleted texts with Connor Stalions, will bar him from all team activities starting 12:01 a.m. Saturday.

Overview

  • Moore will remain with the team through this week's preparation before being sidelined through Sept. 20, covering games against Central Michigan and at Nebraska.
  • Associate head coach Poggi will oversee game operations while Chip Lindsey runs the offense, Wink Martindale the defense, and J. B. Brown special teams.
  • Michigan fell to 1-1 after a 24-13 loss at Oklahoma and dropped to No. 23 in the AP poll, drawing scrutiny of conservative fourth‑down decisions.
  • Safety Rod Moore has a good chance to debut Saturday, with Zeke Berry termed a mild lower‑body issue, Gio El‑Hadi day‑to‑day, and corners Shamari Earls and Caleb Anderson possible returns.
  • Poggi rejoined Michigan after a 6-16 stint as Charlotte’s head coach, and Moore also faces an added suspension for the 2026 opener that the school has appealed.
