In a shocking move, the University of Michigan has terminated head football coach Sherrone Moore, citing an 'inappropriate relationship' with a staff member. This decision comes after a thorough investigation, which found credible evidence of the misconduct. Moore, who has been married to wife Kelli for over a decade and has three daughters, was fired 'with cause' effective immediately. The university has appointed Biff Poggi as the interim head coach, pending a thorough search for a permanent replacement. Poggi, a veteran coach with over 20 years of high school experience and a brief stint as head coach at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, has rejoined the Wolverines program in 2025. As the search for a new head coach begins, several names are emerging as potential contenders. Kalen DeBoer, currently leading the Alabama Crimson Tide, could be a top candidate. DeBoer's name has been floated as a strong candidate for a Big Ten job, and a potential loss in the College Football Playoff could make him more available. Joe Brady, the NFL's Buffalo Bills offensive coordinator, is another name being mentioned. Brady has a strong track record, having worked with the Carolina Panthers and LSU in the past. Jesse Minter, the Los Angeles Chargers' defensive coordinator, is also being considered. Minter has a connection to the Wolverines, having previously built the team's defense into one of the best in the country. However, with the search in its early stages, it remains to be seen who will ultimately take the reins as the new head coach. The timing of Moore's firing has raised eyebrows, particularly given the recent departure of Iowa State Coach Matt Campbell to Penn State. While Campbell was a potential candidate for the Michigan job, he is no longer in the mix. As the search continues, one thing is clear: the Wolverines are looking for a new leader, and they will likely consider a range of candidates to fill the void left by Moore's departure.
