Former Michigan Football Coach Sherrone Moore Remains in Jail Over Alleged "Inappropriate Relationship" with Staffer
A shocking turn of events has unfolded at the University of Michigan, as 39-year-old football coach Sherrone Moore remains behind bars less than 24 hours after being fired due to an alleged "inappropriate relationship" with a staff member. The university cited this behavior as grounds for termination, effectively ending Moore's two-year tenure as head coach.
Moore, who had been promoted from tight ends coach to lead the Wolverines in 2022, was fired by athletic director Warde Manuel amidst allegations of a non-consensual relationship. The nature of the incident remains unclear, but university officials have maintained zero tolerance for such behavior.
According to reports, Moore's departure from Michigan comes after a tumultuous season marked by suspensions and NCAA sanctions related to a sign-stealing scandal. His contract, which included a base annual salary of $5.5 million, can be terminated without penalty due to the circumstances surrounding his dismissal.
Moore's coaching career has been marred by controversy, having previously served a one-game suspension for recruiting infractions and being involved in a scandal that led to his predecessor's termination at Michigan State. He was also promoted as interim coach during Jim Harbaugh's suspensions but ultimately took over the reins before facing the current allegations.
With Moore behind bars, concerns about public safety have been alleviated by authorities, who stated there was no ongoing threat and the individual was jailed pending further review of charges by prosecutors. The investigation into the alleged assault remains ongoing, with police refusing to release additional details due to the sensitive nature of the case.
As Michigan looks for a new head coach, interim Biff Poggi will lead the team in its upcoming Citrus Bowl matchup against Texas on December 31st. The Wolverines' future in college football is uncertain, but one thing is clear: Moore's departure marks a significant shift in the program's leadership and values.

I'm kinda surprised that they're holding him for so long without releasing any concrete evidence. 39 years old, too - you'd think some of those "allegations" might be exaggerated or something. I mean, what exactly is "inappropriate"? Is it really zero tolerance for consensual relationships between adults? 
i mean its not like this is the first time weve seen coaches get fired over some sketchy behavior... sherrone moore might be getting off easy compared to some of the other guys whove been in similar situations. anyway, i think its good that he's behind bars for now, but at the same time, its also kinda sad because i guess he was a part of this huge program and all that. 
This guy's got some major issues, you know? 
Two years at Michigan and he gets canned over an "inappropriate relationship" 
with a staff member... ouch! 
Not sure what's worse, the fact that he allegedly did this or that he thought he could just waltz in here and get away with it 
. And to think he was making $5.5 million a year 
... Talk about some questionable priorities 
. This is why you gotta keep those in power accountable 
. Can't have folks abusing their positions like this 
. The university needs to do better, too... more transparency and consequences for these kinds of actions 
.
this is so sad for the university and the community surrounding the team... someone's actions have such serious consequences 
. I do wonder how Moore's past behavior led up to this point tho? Was he checked out before they made him head coach at Michigan State too? 
. And let's be real, this is just the tip of the iceberg. University officials are all like "zero tolerance" and "no ongoing threat", but we all know that's just code for "we don't wanna deal with it". The fact that he was jailed pending review kinda makes me think there's more to the story than they're lettin' on 
.
