Michigan Wolverines head coach Sherrone Moore leads his team onto the field prior to the NCAA football game against the Ohio State Buckeyes at Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor, Mich. on Nov. 29, 2025.

Michigan football closed the Sherrone Moore era in Ann Arbor on Wednesday, Dec. 10, when the Wolverines fired the second-year coach with cause.

The university found "credible evidence" he had "engaged in an inappropriate relationship with a staff member."

Shortly after Moore's firing, the 39-year-old coach was detained by Pittsfield Township Police with the help of the Saline Police Department, the former of which responded to a location "for the purposes of investigating an alleged assault."

Pittsfield police in a statement said the suspect in the incident was taken into custody. It did not mention Moore's name as the individual.

Moore remains in custody at the Washtenaw County Jail in Michigan, after being booked at 8:30 p.m. ET on Dec. 10, according to online court records. The Washtenaw County Court on Thursday, Dec. 11 confirmed it was aware of a pending investigation into Moore, but that no paperwork had yet been filed on him.

Moore led Michigan to an 17-8 record in his two seasons leading the program, not including a 1-0 record as interim coach in 2023. At 9-3 this season, the Wolverines are set to finish their season on Wednesday, Dec. 31, in the Citrus Bowl against No. 14 Texas. Associate head coach Biff Poggi has been named Michigan's interim coach for the game.

Here's the full timeline of Moore's controversies at Michigan since he was hired by the Wolverines in 2018:
