Michigan football coach Sherrone Moore has been dismissed following an investigation into inappropriate conduct. The termination, effective immediately, was confirmed by athletic director Warde Manuel.
Details of the Dismissal
Sherrone Moore’s tenure as head coach lasted two seasons, during which he recorded a 16-8 overall record. He took over in January 2024 after Jim Harbaugh’s departure, playing a pivotal role in the football program since 2018.
- Years Active as Coach: 2024-2025
- Record: 16 wins, 8 losses
- Prior Positions: Tight Ends Coach, Offensive Line Coach, Offensive Coordinator
Reason for Termination
According to Warde Manuel, the decision was made following a university investigation that uncovered credible evidence of an inappropriate relationship between Moore and a staff member. This behavior violated university policy, which strictly prohibits such conduct.
Interim Coaching Appointment
In the wake of Moore’s dismissal, Biff Poggi has been appointed as the interim head coach. Poggi will lead the Wolverines as they prepare for their upcoming bowl game.
Wolverines’ Upcoming Challenges
The Michigan Wolverines finished the 2025 season with a record of 9-3 and are set to face Texas, who also concluded their season with a 9-3 record, in the Citrus Bowl. This matchup is scheduled for December 31 at Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Florida.
As Michigan navigates this transition, fans and stakeholders will be watching closely how the interim leadership impacts their performance in the Citrus Bowl.
