Sherrone Moore was abruptly fired as head coach of the Michigan Wolverines this week, and hours later was arrested by police.
Moore, who took over the Wolverines after former head coach Jim Harbaugh returned to the NFL, had just completed his second season at the helm, but now is facing legal scrutiny after his ouster, with details still slowly emerging on how the case unfolded.
Here’s what we know on the case, and what’s ahead.
Why was Moore fired?
Moore was fired Wednesday by the university after an investigation into his conduct as the school’s football coach.
According to the university, Moore was fired for having an inappropriate relationship with a staff member.
“U-M head football coach Sherrone Moore has been terminated, with cause, effective immediately,” Michigan Athletic Director Warde Manuel said in a statement Wednesday. “Following a university investigation, credible evidence was found that Coach Moore engaged in an inappropriate relationship with a staff member. This conduct constitutes a clear violation of university policy, and U-M maintains zero tolerance for such behavior.”
Why was he arrested?
Shortly after news broke that Moore had been fired, more breaking news emerged, with ESPN initially reporting that he had been arrested and detained in a community near Michigan’s campus in Ann Arbor.
Authorities say Moore has been held in the Washtenaw County Jail since his arrest, but no further details were available on what charges the coach could potentially be facing.
According to the Associated Press, Pittsfield Township police in Michigan had issued a statement indicating officers were called to investigate an alleged assault and that they had taken a suspect into custody.
While police did not name Moore in that statement, it was issued in response to questions about Moore from media members.
What’s next for Moore?
According to Pittsfield Township police, Moore is scheduled to appear in court for an arraignment on Friday, where more details will likely emerge in the pending criminal case.
What’s next for Michigan?
According to the school, former Charlotte head coach Biff Poggi will take over as their interim head coach for their coming bowl game against Texas.
After that, it’s unclear who will take over the Michigan football program, which is now looking for its third new coach in the last four seasons.
The Wolverines went 9-3 during the regular season, culminating with their Nov. 29 loss to Ohio State.
They’ll next be on the field for the Citrus Bowl against Texas on New Year’s Eve.
