Michigan fired head football coach Sherrone Moore on December 10, 2025. A university investigation uncovered credible evidence of an inappropriate relationship with a staff member. This violated university policy, leading to his immediate termination for cause.

Background

Moore succeeded Jim Harbaugh in 2024 after Michigan's national championship. His record stood at 17-8 over two seasons, including 9-3 in 2025. He had faced prior scrutiny, including a suspension tied to the 2023 sign-stealing scandal.

Aftermath

Athletic director Warde Manuel enforced a zero-tolerance policy on such conduct. Reports emerged of Moore's detention by police shortly after the firing, though details remain unclear. Biff Poggi serves as interim coach for the upcoming Citrus Bowl.
