U of M Coach Fired Over Staff Affair

University of Michigan head football coach Sherrone Moore was terminated on December 10, 2024, after an investigation confirmed an inappropriate relationship with a staff member, violating university policy. This abrupt dismissal has intensified scrutiny on Paige Shiver, an employee within Michigan Athletics, whose digital footprint saw immediate and drastic alterations. Her LinkedIn and X accounts were deleted, while her Instagram became private.

Shiver, who joined the athletic department in 2022 as an Assistant Recruiting & Operations Coordinator, has seen her salary increase for the 2024-25 cycle. She is the daughter of longtime Chicago Bears scout Jeff Shiver. Previously, Shiver was profiled for her battle with Pompe Disease, a rare progressive disorder she was diagnosed with in 2015.

Her family has deep ties to the sports world, with her father a veteran NFL talent evaluator and her uncle a former player and analyst. Shiver's personal journey, marked by a significant medical challenge, has now been thrust into the public eye amidst the ongoing fallout from the coach's termination, raising further questions about the situation.
