ANN ARBOR, Mich. - Sherrone Moore began Wednesday as Michigan’s head football coach preparing the team for the Dec. 31 Citrus Bowl but ended the day unemployed and a suspect in an alleged assault.

The university fired Moore on Wednesday afternoon with cause after an investigation found he engaged in an inappropriate relationship with a staff member.

The Wolverines named Biff Poggi, who went 2-0 as acting head coach in 2025 with Moore suspended, as interim head coach as the school begins a search for a replacement immediately. Meanwhile, the fallout from Moore’s termination appears far from over. Here’s everything we know from his abrupt firing to his subsequent arrest.
