The Sherrone Moore saga at the University of Michigan has reportedly taken another turn.
Moore was fired for cause by the school on Wednesday afternoon for reportedly having an inappropriate relationship. Michigan immediately replaced Moore with Biff Poggi as interim head coach.
On Wednesday night, however, another report surfaced regarding Moore.

Update 12/11 at 3:45 p.m. ET: In a dramatic twist that could have significant ramifications for the Michigan Wolverines, a report from NBC Sports College Football Insider Nicole Auerbach has shed more light on the circumstances surrounding Moore’s firing from the program that has rocked the college football world.
According to the report, Michigan had been alerted that Moore was “dealing with mental health issues” before the Wednesday move to remove him as head coach. Despite that knowledge, AD Warde Manuel fired him. That in itself presents a moral rather than legal dilemma.
Michigan had been alerted prior to Wednesday that Sherrone Moore was dealing with mental health issues yet Warde Manuel fired him alone with no HR rep and no security present, source told @NBCSports.

However, Manuel reportedly fired Moore with no HR representative present. Furthermore, there was no security present at the time the Michigan head coach was relieved of his duties. The latter details could prove problematic for the program, especially if Moore contests the “for cause” element of his firing in a bid to recoup lost earnings.
Update 12/11 at 12:54 p.m. ET: ESPN Senior Writer Dan Wetzel reported on Thursday afternoon that Moore “is ‘expected to appear in court for arraignment’ on Friday, per the Pittsfield Township Police Department.”

According to a report from ESPN Senior Writer Dan Wetzel, Moore was detained by police in Saline, Mich., and turned over to police in Pittsfield Township for investigation into potential charges. Wetzel had help from ESPN college football writer Pete Thamel on his report regarding Moore.

A statement was released by the City of Saline Police Department on Wednesday night. The statement said, “The City of Saline Police Department assisted in locating and detaining former University of Michigan head football coach Sherrone Moore. Mr. Moore was turned over to the Pittsfield Township Police Department for investigation into potential charges.”
Moore took over with two games left in the 2023 college football season for former Wolverines head coach Jim Harbaugh, who was caught up in a scandal involving Connor Stallions.
The news surrounding Moore’s dismissal has sent shockwaves through the world of college football. This leaves another high-profile college head coaching position open to be filled. There have been a couple of names floated by media members on Wednesday, including Alabama Crimson Tide head coach Kalen DeBoer.
No word on a full-time replacement has come out of Michigan at this time. Poggi coached two seasons at Charlotte after spending two seasons as Harbaugh’s assistant head coach at Michigan. Once the Charlotte job ended, Poggi came back to take over that same role under Moore.
With Moore now gone from the Wolverines, it will be up to Poggi and the rest of the Michigan coaching staff to get the team ready for the Citrus Bowl on New Year’s Eve. Michigan will face the University of Texas Longhorns in the bowl game. Both Michigan and Texas were looking to get spots in the College Football Playoff this season, but that didn’t happen.
Moore’s story continues to become more interesting as details regarding his dismissal emerge. At this point, there has been no comment from Moore or his representatives regarding Michigan firing him for cause.
