Former Michigan head coach Sherrone Moore is expected to be arraigned today, Friday, after spending two nights in the Washtenaw County Jail amid a police investigation into an alleged assault. Moore, 39, was fired Wednesday after university officials said he had an inappropriate relationship with an employee. “clear violation of university policy.” Hours after his discharge, Moore was taken into custody, although authorities have not released details of the arrest. Pittsfield Township police confirmed only that officers responded to an alleged assault and arrested a person, issuing the statement after media inquiries about Moore.
The shakeup comes less than a year after Moore signed a five-year contract with an annual salary of $5.5 million. It also comes just months after he was promoted to succeed Jim Harbaugh in the aftermath of Michigan’s national championship game. As the investigation continues, Michigan will not owe a contract buyout due to the termination for cause, and the program now focuses on interim coach Biff Poggi as it prepares for the Dec. 31 Citrus Bowl game against No. 14 Texas. Meanwhile, the search for a new head coach is unfolding amid increasing uncertainty, with the possibility of roster turnover through the transfer portal and concerns that donor hesitancy could impact the distribution of revenue and NIL support for one of college football’s most storied programs.
