Michigan has fired head coach Sherrone Moore, effective immediately.
Multiple reports emerged Wednesday that Moore had been let go by the school for cause. Michigan quickly confirmed those reports with a statement that claimed the school found “credible evidence” that Moore engaged in an “inappropriate relationship” with a Michigan staff member.
Michigan athletic director Warde Manuel cited a “clear violation of University policy” in a release announcing the decision. Biff Poggi will serve as the interim coach while the team prepares for the Citrus Bowl against Texas on Dec. 31.
Moore went 17-8 across 2 full seasons as the Michigan coach. He replaced Jim Harbaugh following the school’s national championship season in 2023, where he served as head coach for 1 game while Harbaugh was suspended. (Michigan won that game, putting Moore’s official record at 18-8 as U-M coach.)
Michigan went 9-3 this year, improving upon an 8-5 year in Moore’s debut.
Moore made $6.1 million this season, per the USA Today database. His buyout called for $13.9 million, but U-M will be able to avoid that after an investigation into the alleged violation of school policies.
The controversy is just the latest in a rocky tenure for Moore in Ann Arbor. Earlier this summer, Moore was included in the sanctions handed down by the NCAA after its investigation into the sign-stealing scheme under Harbaugh. Moore was suspended for a game and given a 2-year show cause.
