Overview

  • Moore may take part in practices and meetings this week ahead of Central Michigan but will not be allowed on the sideline for the CMU or Nebraska games.
  • During the suspension, he is barred from all coaching activities from 12:01 a.m. on the CMU game day through 11:59 p.m. on the Nebraska game day, including travel, practice, video study, recruiting and team meetings.
  • The two-game ban was self-imposed by Michigan and Moore following NCAA findings of an impermissible advanced scouting operation from 2021–2023 that resulted in probation, fines totaling tens of millions of dollars and recruiting restrictions, plus show-cause penalties for Connor Stalions and Jim Harbaugh.
  • Results of the CMU and Nebraska games will not count toward Moore’s coaching record, and Michigan is expected to name an interim head coach for the suspension period this week.
  • Moore acknowledged deleting a 52-message text thread with former staffer Connor Stalions in October 2023, and he is also set to miss the 2026 opener against Western Michigan, a penalty the school plans to appeal.
