The Michigan Wolverines fired Sherrone Moore on December 10, 2025, after a secret university investigation found credible evidence about him having an “inappropriate relationship” with a staff member. Despite being married to Kelli Moore and having three daughters, Sherrone’s inappropriate relationship has shocked everyone. Soon after his termination, the 39-year-old football coach was detained by the police in Saline, Michigan, and it’s fair to say that his world is falling apart.
