WHOA. Sherrone Moore has been fired by Michigan on Wednesday, and we know why, with the university announcing that it had found evidence that he had been in an "inappropriate relationship with a staff member."

While the program and university are reeling from the news -- Michigan will play against Texas in the Citrus Bowl on New Year's Eve, with Biff Poggi acting once again as interim head coach -- the questions began swirling: Who will be Moore's replacement after the season is over?

Here are some names that have been thrown out on social media with the news breaking on Wednesday:

Marcus Freeman

There's buzz that the New York Giants could be interested in the Notre Dame coach. But maybe this is a job that's more enticing.

Jesse Minter

Could the Chargers defensive coordinator come back to where he was the DC a couple of years ago?

Jedd Fisch

Maybe the former coach wants to leave Washington and come back?

Brian Kelly

A name that seems like a possibility but there's A LOT of pushback.

Kalen DeBoer

HMMMM.
