Former University of Michigan football coach Sherrone Moore was thrown out of a job when “credible evidence” was discovered about an alleged affair between him and a staff member. The Kansas native has not publicly commented on the rumors yet, nor on whether he and his wife are still together.
“U-M head football coach Sherrone Moore has been terminated, with cause, effective immediately,” Michigan athletic director Warde Manuel announced in December 2025. “Following a University investigation, credible evidence was found that Coach Moore engaged in an inappropriate relationship with a staff member.
