Rick Pitino is a fine example, but the only difference is this brother will probably never land another head coaching job at a major university.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Sherrone Moore, who was fired by Michigan on Wednesday afternoon for having an “inappropriate relationship with a staff member,” was later detained by police and was being held at the Washtenaw County Jail as of late Wednesday night.
Earlier Wednesday, police were called to the listed address of a female Michigan football staffer at 4:10 p.m., according to police dispatch. Police also sent officers to the listed address of Moore. He was detained in Saline, a few miles outside of Ann Arbor, as part of an alleged assault investigation, according to the Pittsfield Township Police Department.

No charges have been formally filed, and the investigation is ongoing. Police have not released any additional information.
“Following a university investigation, credible evidence was found that Coach Moore engaged in an inappropriate relationship with a staff member,” athletic director Warde Manuel said in a statement. “This conduct constitutes a clear violation of University policy, and U-M maintains zero tolerance for such behavior.”
Moore, 39, just completed his second season as head coach after serving as an assistant coach on Jim Harbaugh’s staff from 2018 to 2023. The Wolverines were 17-8 during his tenure, including a 9-3 finish this season. Associate head coach Biff Poggi will be Michigan’s interim head coach for the Citrus Bowl against Texas on Dec. 31.

Biff Poggi was an adviser for Jim Harbaugh before working under Sherrone Moore. One colleague said of Poggi: "His heart is all in it."
A source briefed on the decision said the school received an anonymous tip regarding the inappropriate relationship, prompting the investigation. The investigation initially did not produce evidence of the relationship, the source said, but additional evidence came to light in the last 24 hours that led to Moore’s dismissal.
According to a team source, most of Michigan’s staff learned of the coach’s firing when Manuel informed the team during a meeting. Moore was in the building Wednesday but was not at that team meeting, according to the source.
Moore’s firing came with little warning. Moore was in the process of assembling his staff for next season and hired veteran assistant Kerry Coombs to run Michigan’s special teams days earlier. Two days before his dismissal, Moore met with reporters to discuss Michigan’s 2026 signing class and the bowl matchup against Texas.
“I think we’ve got a really good foundation of where we need to be, but we’ve got a lot to work on,” Moore said Monday.
Moore’s firing brought an abrupt end to a two-year tenure marked by highs and lows. He took over for Harbaugh on the heels of Michigan’s 2023 national championship, with the program scrambling to maintain its footing after Harbaugh departed for the NFL.

Michigan started 4-3 in Moore’s first season, matching its losses from the previous three years combined. The season ended with momentum as the Wolverines upset Ohio State 13-10 in Columbus and signed quarterback Bryce Underwood, the No. 1 prospect in the Class of 2025.
This year’s team fell short of expectations. The Wolverines lost at Oklahoma in Week 2, then USC blew out Michigan in mid-October. Moore’s final game was a 27-9 loss to the Buckeyes that snapped Michigan’s four-game winning streak in the rivalry.
The Connor Stalions sign-stealing investigation clouded Moore’s tenure. Moore served a two-game suspension this season for deleting text messages he’d exchanged with Stalions and was set to be suspended for the 2026 season opener.
The NCAA did not strip Michigan of any victories or its national championship but punished the school with a massive fine that could exceed $30 million. Moore was earning $5.6 million in the second year of the five-year contract he signed after replacing Harbaugh. His contract included a provision that protected him from being terminated for NCAA violations that occurred before his hiring as head coach.
The contract, however, outlined several reasons he could be fired for cause, including rule violations and misconduct.

Oh, dude was already on thin ice.

It’s possible this “affair” wasn’t as recent as I thought, and likely now just coming out. It’s also possible it didn’t happen the way we think it did, but it’s being spun that way.
Regardless, he was moving recklessly.

These niggas be blowin opportunities on the most basic of white hoes.
just fuckin dumb
another thing... race plays into everything.
But this just happens to be the perfect storm
This is about POWER and arrogance and pride which AL this coaches black white male female all divisions have
But to completely ignore that BECAUSE he is a Black coach he is under much more pressure and scrutiny is asinine.
we are not and will NEVER be held to the same standards and expectations.
Sherrone KNOWS that and if he truly doesn't?
Then he deserves everything he is getting.
In 2025 we all KNOW what it is.
so to this after ALL the countless warning examples we have seen over the decades is beyond dumb.
White man does this trust he getting killed too but bet your bottom dollar he will at MINIM get a low level well paid coaching staff position at a damn good college program or hell a NFL team.
Black man gonna have to sell his damn soul to get THAT type treatment.
Word up. Completely agree.
How many examples does a Black man need?
It’s sad asf and funny at the same time.
Sad because of the hoops we have to go through just to get to such an elite level, but funny because how dumb do you have to be to risk it all this way?
The athletes are running trains on all of them. Only plain Beckys left.I ain’t saying lose your shit over no white till but damn why yall don’t ever get yall a PaWg?![]()
I wouldn't even take that nigga there.I guess he'll be coaching in the SWAC or MEAC after this shit.

And I don't like the kneejerk... well its p*ssy excuse?
I aint an animal I have self control
Going with that even JOKING too much perpetuates a very evil damaging stereotype that many people actually believe is true and continues to damage Black men till this day
We are animals and lack self control and we are sex demons.
When a white man cheats or has a sexual assault? Its usually labeled as a miscommunication, a lapse in judgement and calls for prayer and therapy.
Black men NEVER get that out. Even if its true and we KNOW this for over a hundred years.
I get the white girl thing I do. Its valid and everything else is too.
and specifically in THIS case? This fool is a habitual line stepper.
But to do this with a basic white girl is so cliche its embarrassing.
Man, you can’t make this ish up.I wouldn't even take that nigga there.
Cheating is one thing,but the knife shit and breaking into houses threatening bitches is another!
( If this shit is true )
Yeah, I hate that excuse, too.
The same people that use such excuse also lacks accountability.
He’s obviously had enough self-control to get him where got to. And I understand the world is different when you’re on an elite level such as tier 1 head football coach. Accessibility to things are just different.
However, why risk it for something with ZERO return? He’d been better off just paying for some puss if it was that serious to him. At least those chicks understand the game.
But a co-worker?Man, you can’t make this ish up.
Explain this ^^^^Black athletes and coaches have to start realizing that most of these white women are like sleeper cell agents when it’s time to take down a prominent black figure
And half are you motherfuckers laughing at dude what trade-in an average looking good body black woman for a ugly white sloppy bitch
As I said in the college football thread, this was just an excuse to get rid of him without having to pay a buyout.Oh, dude was already on thin ice.

Fans were looking for him to get fired the whole season.
The university knew about all this for a while, they damn near keep 24/7 surveillance on their coaches.
A former teammate of my son is currently on Michigan's team and I wonder if the team knew and now how that will affect whether they stay or go to another school.
Not enough wight girls for himI guess he'll be coaching in the SWAC or MEAC after this shit.


Well, it’s being reported on this board, so that’s I all I need to know. Mainstream media get their news from message boards nowadays.
That’s what the media is saying which could be a smear campaign.
Brothas trusting the mainstream media at this point without doing their own due diligence are lost causes.
That loss was his first time losing to Ohio State and Michigan had actually beaten OSU like 4 years in a row before this year.listen he was done after that ohio state game they just found the perfect excuse and threw that white women in tha mix..
the alumni has one rule for there coaches dont not ever lose to ohio state..he forgot that part he is the last of the harbaugh
regime...![]()
