Mugshot Released as Court Records Lay Out Allegations Against Ex–Michigan Coach Sherrone Moore

A university-ordered review now scrutinizes the athletic department following his charging.

Overview

  • Washtenaw County released Moore’s booking photo from Dec. 10, taken hours after the University of Michigan fired him for an inappropriate relationship with a staff member.
  • Sworn testimony describes Moore forcing his way into the staffer’s apartment, grabbing knives, and threatening to kill himself while her attorney says there was a long history of domestic violence.
  • Moore was charged with felony third-degree home invasion and misdemeanors of stalking and breaking and entering, pleaded not guilty, and was released on $25,000 bond with GPS monitoring, no-contact and anger-management conditions.
  • Prosecutors say available evidence supports the stalking charge and note the case remains under review, with potential to add or amend charges as more evidence comes in.
  • Michigan retained Jenner & Block for an external athletics review, and President Domenico Grasso warned additional terminations could follow; Moore’s for-cause firing voids roughly $12.3 million in contract guarantees, and his next court date is Jan. 22, 2026.
