Ex-Michigan coach Sherrone Moore remains in custody
Then-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. Fired Michigan football coach Sherrone Moore remained in the Washtenaw County Jail on Friday morning, with no update on any charges he could face.
As of 9 a.m. ET, jail records did not reflect any information about charges, bond or a potential release date for Moore.
He has been behind bars since early Wednesday evening, hours after Michigan athletic director Warde Manuel announced the second-year coach was fired "for cause" after an investigation turned up "credible evidence" he had been involved 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," Manuel said in a statement.
Moore was taken into custody "for the purposes of investigating an alleged assault," according to a Pittsfield Township Police Department news release. TMZ Sports reported Thursday that Moore was at the residence of a staff member in the football program at the time.
Pittsfield police said Thursday that Moore, 39, was expected to be arraigned on Friday.
Michigan finished the season with a 9-3 record and a No. 18 ranking and a date to meet No. 13 Texas (9-3) in the Citrus Bowl on Dec. 31. Interim coach Biff Poggi will coach the Wolverines in the game.
