Michigan Coach Fired for Dishonesty, Not Just Affair
16 Jan
Summary
- Michigan coach Sherrone Moore was fired for dishonesty during investigation.
- The termination letter cited violations of contract and code of conduct.
- Moore faces felony home invasion and stalking charges.
Sherrone Moore's termination from his Michigan football coaching position was not solely due to an "inappropriate relationship" with a staffer, as initially stated. A termination letter from athletic director Warde Manuel revealed that Moore was also dismissed for "Dishonesty During Investigation," a violation of his contract and the university's code of conduct regarding supervisor-employee relationships. These untruthful statements during the investigation were considered an independent cause for termination.
Moore's dismissal on December 10, 2026, was effective immediately. The letter detailed that his actions violated the university's code of conduct. Following his termination, Moore was arrested and subsequently faced charges including felony home invasion, misdemeanor stalking, and misdemeanor breaking and entering. He was released on a $25,000 bond under strict conditions.
As of January 16, 2026, Moore is mandated to wear a GPS tether, maintain no contact with the alleged victim, continue mental health treatment, and remain in-state without court permission. A probable cause hearing for his case is scheduled for January 22, 2026. The situation remains active with ongoing legal proceedings.
