The Sherrone Moore era at Michigan is over.
Less than two years in, the football coach has been fired by the school “with cause, effective immediately,” Michigan announced on Wednesday.
A statement from Michigan said school officials found “credible evidence” that Moore, 39, had 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,” athletic director Warde Manuel said.
Staffer Biff Poggi has been named interim head coach for the Wolverines, who are preparing to play Texas in the Citrus Bowl on Dec. 31 in Orlando.
Further details of the dismissal were not immediately disclosed.
