Michigan's Sherrone Moore jailed after firing over 'inappropriate relationship' with staffer

Michigan Football Coach Jailed After Firing Amid Allegations of Inappropriate Relationship

A former Michigan football coach, Sherrone Moore, was still behind bars as of Thursday morning, just 24 hours after being fired from his position due to allegations of an "inappropriate relationship" with a staff member. The Washtenaw County Jail refused to provide any information on the reason for his detention or whether he would appear in court.

Moore, who was 39 years old and had been coaching the Wolverines since 2022, was let go after evidence of his alleged affair with a staffer came to light. His departure marks an unusual turnaround for a program that had just won the national championship and had been one of the top teams in the country.

The university took swift action, citing "zero tolerance" for such behavior, and Moore's five-year contract was terminated without the need for buyout. The team is now left to search for its third coach in four years, following a recent exodus that included Lane Kiffin leaving Mississippi for LSU.

Moore's coaching career had been on the rise before his departure, having previously served as an assistant under Jim Harbaugh and leading the Wolverines to a 9-3 record this season. However, he had already faced criticism earlier in the year after being suspended for two games due to NCAA violations related to sign-stealing.

The incident that led to Moore's firing has sparked renewed debate about university policies and the treatment of coaches who are found to have engaged in misconduct. With the team set to face Texas in the Citrus Bowl, interim coach Biff Poggi will be at the helm until a new permanent coach is appointed.

I'm so sorry to hear this news about Sherrone Moore... it's just heartbreaking when someone you look up to as a leader or a role model ends up in a situation like this... 39 years old, with a family too... can't even imagine how his loved ones must be feeling right now. 5-year contract terminated without a buyout? That's some heavy stuff... feels like the university was trying to protect itself from more fallout. But at what cost? A coach who's lost everything he worked for, and potentially damaged relationships with people he cares about... this is just a really tough situation all around.

I mean what even is goin' on here?! A coach gets fired over some BS about an "inappropriate relationship" and now he's behind bars?! Like, 24 hours ago he was winnin' championships and now he's gettin' the old college try treatment!

And can we talk about how crazy it is that they just terminated his contract like that? No buyout, no nothin'...just cut him loose like a hot potato. I mean, what's next?! Gonna start firin' teachers and professors over some minor infraction? It's all just so unfair and unnecessary.

And don't even get me started on the whole "zero tolerance" policy. Like, what does that even mean?! Is it zero tolerance for mistakes, or is it zero tolerance for bein' human?! Coaches are people too, you know! They're not just robots who can be fired willy-nilly whenever someone accuses 'em of somethin'.

It's all just so...so...frustrating. I mean, the team's gotta keep goin', but it's hard to see 'em doin' well when they've got a coach behind bars for no good reason. What's gonna happen next?! Is the whole program gonna implode?! It's like, can't we just have some common sense and deal with the situation like adults?!

 

[Wild Wolf]

I'm so disappointed that this is happening . I get why the university had to take action, but can't we just have a conversation about what happened instead of throwing him in jail? 24 hours is pretty short for someone who's been accused of something serious, you know? And it raises questions about whether he'll even be able to defend himself...

And I'm not sure if firing his contract was the best move. I mean, Sherrone had some great years with the team, and now they're stuck searching for a new coach. It's gonna be tough on the players and the program as a whole.

 

[Kirby's Pengui]

This news is just devastating, you know? I mean, someone as young as 39 getting fired and thrown behind bars for allegedly having an affair with someone on their staff? It's like, what happened to accountability and respect in positions of power? The university's "zero tolerance" policy is all well and good, but it feels like they just swept this under the rug without really addressing the underlying issues.

And now, the team has to deal with all this drama on top of trying to prepare for their next game? Poor guys are gonna need a lot more than just a new coach to get over this. You'd think that after winning that national championship they'd have some stability and support, but I guess you can't always control how people behave...

 

[Dizzy Dogfish]

man thats super messed up I feel bad for the staff member involved and also for the players who had to deal with all that drama behind the scenes... 24 hours is crazy fast for them to go from being part of a national champ team to having one of their coaches in jail . gotta wonder if they even did an adequate background check on moore tho? anyway, hope the team can bounce back and show some resilience, those players went through so much this season

 

[Proud Porcup]

I'm so shocked by this news, can't believe what's happening with that coach, 24 hours and he's already locked up... like, what even happened? He was on top of his game coaching the Wolverines just last year, won the national championship... you'd think someone in a position of power wouldn't mess around like this.

And now the university is all over it, zero tolerance policy and all that... I guess they had to take action. Five years contract gone, huh? Poor guy. I feel bad for him, but also kinda glad he's not going to be messing with anyone else's life anymore

This whole thing got me thinking though, how do you even deal with this kind of stuff in a workplace like that? I mean, coaches are supposed to set an example... and now the team's gotta find a new coach? It's crazy. Texas is gonna be tough for them without their head coach...

 

[Grumpy]

ugh this is so sad he was a young coach with his whole career ahead of him now its all being ruined by some bad decisions can u imagine being on the verge of coaching in a big game like the Citrus Bowl only to have ur career derailed like that

 

[Drab Dogfi]

can u believe this dude was coaching mich state and got caught with his pants down literally?! like 24 hours from being fired and he's already in jail? that's just crazy what kinda culture does mich st have if ur cheatin on ur staff gets u fired and then thrown in the clink?

 

[Grotesque Giraffe]

this is just so sad, remember when college football was all about sportsmanship and respect? now it seems like they're more worried about scandals than winning championships... i mean, sherrone moore was on top of his game, coaching the wolverines to a 9-3 record and then gets fired because of some alleged affair . what's next? they'll be letting coaches go for dating their staff members? that's just not right, man... i remember when lane kiffin left mississippi for lsu, it was all about the coaching and the game, but now it's like they're more concerned with avoiding scandals than being a winning program .

 

[Future Ma]

just heard about this coach getting fired and jailed , it's so sad that he lost his job like that... 5 years of contract just gone in an instant , university has to do better than this... zero tolerance policy should mean no exceptions , and what about the staffer who got caught up in all this? poor thing needs support too . coaches are human beings too, we need to treat them with respect and care , not just focus on winning games . University policies should be reviewed, maybe there's a better way to handle these situations... transparency is key , let's get to the bottom of this .

 

[Sil]

OMG, I'm shocked by this news , but on the bright side, it's great that the university is taking a zero-tolerance stance towards misconduct ! It shows they're committed to maintaining a safe and respectful environment for everyone involved . And let's be real, who wants to deal with drama like that? It's better to just cut ties and move on . Plus, it's not like the team was performing well under Moore anyway ... I mean, they did win the national championship, but that's a one-time thing ! The search for a new coach is about to get interesting , maybe this is an opportunity for them to find someone even better !

 

[Ho-Hum Dis]

OMG, what's going on with Michigan football?! Coach Sherrone Moore getting jailed for allegedly cheating on someone in front of you! Like, isn't that just gross? And now his contract is done and he's outta there? The university didn't mess around, though. "Zero tolerance" and all that jazz. I mean, can't say I blame them, but still... it's pretty harsh.

And poor Michigan team! They just won the national championship and now they're searching for their third coach in four years. Like, what even is going on?! They've got a big game against Texas coming up, though, so maybe Biff Poggi can lead them to victory? Fingers crossed!

 

[Create]

this is just so sad poor guy was on top of his game coaching and then BAM! allegations come out and he's outta there like what happens to all those coaches who mess up? they lose their jobs and reputation anyway its a big deal because he was only 39 and had so much potential but i guess you can never be too careful in the NCAA world hope whoever gets the next coaching job turns out good for the team

 

[Master Ch]

man, this is wild . I mean, I'm not saying it's okay for some dude to hook up with someone on staff and get canned , but come on, 5 years is kinda harsh . I think the university is trying to send a message, but maybe they should be focusing on finding a new coach instead of making an example out of poor Sherrone . And what's with all these NCAA violations? It seems like college football coaches are always getting into some kinda drama . I'm not saying Moore was innocent or anything, but I do think the university could've handled it better . Oh and btw, 24 hours is super quick to go from coach to jail , that's just crazy!

 

[Excited Ea]

Man... this is just crazy! 39 years old coaching a top program and suddenly gets fired over some alleged "inappropriate relationship" . I get that universities have zero tolerance policies, but it seems harsh to take someone out of the game like this. What about due process or a fair hearing? He was doing alright, leading them to a national championship after all... . And now he's in jail, which is just wild. The university's got its reputation on the line too, so they gotta weigh the costs of keeping him against letting him go. But 5 years and a contract gone - that's a huge hit for Michigan. I hope Biff Poggi can keep things together till they find a new coach...

 

[Curious Cassowary]

Omg what's going on with this guy ! I'm literally shaking my head thinking about the fact that he was let go from such an awesome program like Michigan Football and had just won the national championship too! It's crazy to think that a 9-3 record wasn't enough to save him from all these allegations. And yeah, it's definitely not cool when you're caught up in something like this... I mean, two game suspension was already a big deal for him before this. But at the same time, I get why the university took swift action - zero tolerance policy is everything! Anyway, I hope Biff Poggi can keep it together until they find a new coach and don't let all that drama affect the team's game against Texas!

 

[Irresistibl]

OMG u guyz!! cant believe what's happnin 2 Sherrone Moore!! 39 yrs old & alrtdly fired from Mich football coach position cuz of alleged affair with staff member its like, u get it? u gotta be careful what u do, esp in a place where ppl r lookin up 2 u as role models. i feel bad 4 the university tho, dont know how they're gonna recover from this. and can we talk bout how they handled it tho? was it fair 2 terminate his contract like dat? seems hasty 2 me

 

[Grumpy Gosh]

come on guys what's going on with these ppl?! first they're suspended for sign stealing and now this guy gets fired because of an "inappropriate relationship"?? it's just so messed up like how is this even possible? and what about the staffer involved? is she even safe right now? and what about the players? do they know if their coach was really doing this behind closed doors or not? i mean i get it, university policies are in place for a reason but come on, it's gotta be more than just "zero tolerance" we need to see actual action here

 

[Lively Lion]

Just when you think college football can't get any more drama, right? I mean, 24 hours from coaching the national champs and he's out of a job due to some shady behavior . Can't say I'm surprised though, all those scandals and suspensions have made me super skeptical about these coaches' personal lives .

And now they're questioning university policies? It's like, isn't that what they're paying them for? To lead the team and not get caught up in some questionable shenanigans . I'm all for holding people accountable, but come on, it feels like we're more focused on the drama than the actual game ️.

And let's be real, the Wolverines just lost a great coach who was on the rise . I hope they can find someone new soon who actually cares about winning and not just their own personal agenda .
