Sherrone Moore was fired as Michigan's head football coach after the university discovered that he was in an "inappropriate relationship" with a staffer. Hours later, he was in police custody.

The university announced that Moore, who won a national championship less than two years ago as the team's offensive coordinator under then-head coach Jim Harbaugh, was fired for cause.

Given the circumstances of the firing, Michigan may be off the hook for the remainder of the contract.

Moore's base contract was initially for around $27.5 million over five years, beginning in 2024.

Had Moore been fired for on-field performance, the school would have owed him a buyout of nearly $14 million as of last week, according to USA Today. He was set to make a base of $16.5 million over the next three years.

Moore replaced Harbaugh ahead of the 2024 season, and the Wolverines went 17-8 with him as head coach, including a 9-3 campaign this season. A loss to Ohio State, though — their first since 2019 — kept the Wolverines out of the College Football Playoff.

Moore "remains under active investigation" and will be arraigned on Friday, officials told Fox News Digital.

Pittsfield police said they responded to a home as part of an assault investigation. Police said a suspect was taken into custody and that the incident does not appear to be random. Police said the suspect was lodged in the Washtenaw County Jail pending review of charges by the Washtenaw County prosecutor.

Moore got married in 2015, and he and his wife have three daughters.
Francis Xavier "Biff" Poggi was named interim head coach and will be on the sidelines when Michigan takes on Texas in the Citrus Bowl on Dec. 31. Earlier this season, Poggi took over for Moore during his suspension.

He's black. Domestic violence and assault are assumed by default

There is a particular sadness reserved for watching a powerful Black man unravel in public. Not because the fall is entertaining, but because the storyline is so tired, it practically writes itself.
Sherrone More, the University of Michigan head coach’s scandal has now metastasized into a wall-to-wall spectacle. Cable and social media are having digital mukbangs. Headlines swell with every humiliating detail. And somewhere in all that noise, the real story is lost, not just about a man’s poor decisions, but about what America chooses to obsess over, and why.
Black men who reach rarefied air enjoying money, influence, proximity to whiteness, sometimes begin to believe gravity no longer applies. Shannon Sharpe learned this the hard way. So did Tiger Woods. So did Kobe Bryant, whose career survived but whose name was permanently marked even in his tragic death Gayle King opened her sour mouth. Add Sterling Sharpe’s generation, add Ben Roethlisberger’s contrast in coverage, add countless others where the same behavior earned radically different public judgments depending on who was involved and who was harmed.
And no, this isn’t about demonizing non-Black women. History already did that work without our help. This is about power, proximity, and the lethal myths that come with both.

Bro was an omega level gooner. Subbed to multiple onlyfans, fucking his assistant, AND he was offering every party bribes and tickets to meet with him.

I can understand the crashout though. Imagine your entire fucking life and career ending over the course of 24 hours.
