ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- The University of Michigan fired head football coach Sherrone Moore on Wednesday after the school said he was "engaged in an inappropriate relationship with a staff member."

The sudden announcement stated Moore was terminated immediately and with cause.

"Following a University investigation, credible evidence was found that Coach Moore engaged in an inappropriate relationship with a staff member," Michigan's statement read.

"This conduct constitutes a clear violation of University policy, and U-M maintains zero tolerance for such behavior."

Moore became the Wolverines' head coach in 2024, taking over from Jim Harbaugh after spending six years on the offensive staff. He was the first Black head coach in program history.
