   ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Sherrone Moore, who was fired by Michigan Wednesday   
   afternoon for having an “inappropriate relationship with a staff   
   member,” was later detained by police and is currently being held at the   
   Washtenaw County Jail.   
      
   Earlier Wednesday, police were called to the listed address of a female   
   Michigan football staffer at 4:10 p.m., according to police dispatch.   
   Police also sent officers to the listed address of Moore. He was   
   detained in Saline, a few miles outside of Ann Arbor, as part of an   
   alleged assault investigation, according to the Pittsfield Township   
   Police Department.   
      
   No charges have been formally filed, and the investigation is ongoing.   
   Police have not released any additional information.   
      
   “Following a university investigation, credible evidence was found that   
   Coach Moore engaged in an inappropriate relationship with a staff   
   member,” athletic director Warde Manuel said in a statement. “This   
   conduct constitutes a clear violation of University policy, and U-M   
   maintains zero tolerance for such behavior.”   
      
   Moore, 39, just completed his second season as head coach after serving   
   as an assistant coach on Jim Harbaugh’s staff from 2018-2023. The   
   Wolverines were 17-8 during his tenure, including a 9-3 finish this   
   season. Associate head coach Biff Poggi will be Michigan’s interim head   
   coach for the Citrus Bowl against Texas on Dec. 31.   
      
   A source briefed on the decision said the school received an anonymous   
   tip regarding the inappropriate relationship, prompting the   
   investigation. The investigation initially did not produce evidence of   
   the relationship, the source said, but additional evidence came to light   
   in the last 24 hours that led to Moore’s dismissal.   
      
   According to a team source, most of Michigan’s staff learned of the   
   coach’s firing when Manuel informed the team during a meeting. Moore was   
   in the building Wednesday but was not at that team meeting, according to   
   the source.   
      
   Moore’s firing came with little warning. Moore was in the process of   
   assembling his staff for next season and hired veteran assistant Kerry   
   Coombs to run Michigan’s special teams days earlier. Two days before his   
   dismissal, Moore met with reporters to discuss Michigan’s 2026 signing   
   class and the bowl matchup against Texas.   
      
   “I think we’ve got a really good foundation of where we need to be, but   
   we’ve got a lot to work on,” Moore said Monday.   
      
   Moore’s firing brought an abrupt end to a two-year tenure marked by   
   highs and lows. He took over for Harbaugh on the heels of Michigan’s   
   2023 national championship, with the program scrambling to maintain its   
   footing after Harbaugh departed for the NFL.   
      
   Michigan started 4-3 in Moore’s first season, matching its losses from   
   the previous three years combined. The season ended with momentum as the   
   Wolverines upset Ohio State 13-10 in Columbus and signed quarterback   
   Bryce Underwood, the No. 1 prospect in the Class of 2025.   
      
   This year’s team fell short of expectations. The Wolverines lost at   
   Oklahoma in Week 2, then USC blew out Michigan in mid-October. Moore’s   
   final game was a 27-9 loss to the Buckeyes that snapped Michigan’s   
   four-game winning streak in the rivalry.   
      
   The Connor Stalions sign-stealing investigation clouded Moore’s tenure.   
   Moore served a two-game suspension this season for deleting text   
   messages he’d exchanged with Stalions and was set to be suspended for   
   the 2026 season opener.   
      
   The NCAA did not strip Michigan of any victories or its national   
   championship but punished the school with a massive fine that could   
   exceed $30 million. Moore was earning $5.6 million in the second year of   
   the five-year contract he signed after replacing Harbaugh. His contract   
   included a provision that protected him from being terminated for NCAA   
   violations that occurred before his hiring as head coach.   
      
   The contract, however, outlined several reasons he could be fired for   
   cause, including rule violations and misconduct.
