Fired Michigan football coach Sherrone Moore is being arraigned at by a Michigan court at 1 p.m. ET, Dec. 12, after he was arrested Dec. 10 as part of what local police called an assault investigation.
According to court documents released Dec. 12, Moore faces criminal allegations of felony third-degree home invasion, misdemeanor stalking-domestic relationship, and misdemeanor breaking and entering. Bond had not been set in the criminal case against Moore.
Michigan announced Moore’s firing in a statement at 4:43 p.m. ET on Dec. 10, minutes after police report Moore was detained following a 4:10 p.m. call “investigating an alleged assault.” Moore was arrested and booked into the Washtenaw County Jail that evening, and remained there as of 11 p.m. Dec. 11, according to jail records.
In its statement, the university said Moore was fired for cause after an investigation found “credible evidence” he “engaged in an inappropriate relationship with a staff member.”

On Dec. 11, Michigan interim president Domenico Grasso addressed the firing of Moore, 39, in a letter to faculty and students, saying that the coach was “immediately terminated” when his alleged conduct came to light.
“There is absolutely no tolerance for this conduct at the University of Michigan. None,” Grasso said. “I have been in close communication with the Board of Regents and we are united in committing to doing what is right.”
Grasso said the university’s investigation into the allegations is ongoing.
Moore led Michigan to a 17-8 record in his two seasons leading the program, not including a 1-0 record as interim coach in 2023. He is replaced by interim coach Biff Poggi ahead of the 9-3 Wolverines‘ scheduled Dec. 31 Citrus Bowl appearance against No. 14 Texas.
