The University of Michigan terminated Sherrone Moore from his position as the Wolverines' football coach on Wed, Oct 25, 2023. This decision followed an investigation revealing "credible evidence" of an inappropriate relationship with a staff member. The university cited a violation of its policy and emphasized its zero-tolerance stance on such conduct.
Concurrently, Moore was detained by the Pittsfield Township Police Department in connection with an assault investigation. Authorities confirmed his arrest but noted the ongoing nature of the investigation, restricting further details. Moore is currently held at the Washtenaw County Jail pending a review by the local prosecutor.
Biff Poggi has been named the interim head coach for the Wolverines. This leadership change occurs amid the team's 9-3 season, during which Moore had already served a suspension due to involvement in a sign-stealing scandal. The Wolverines concluded the regular season ranked No. 18 in the College Football Playoff standings and are scheduled to play No. 13 Texas in the Cheez-It Citrus Bowl on Sun, Dec 31, 2023, in Orlando.
