The University of Michigan’s renowned football program is currently facing turmoil following revelations about an affair involving head coach Sherrone Moore. This week, a woman ended her longstanding relationship with Moore, leading to a series of persistent phone calls and text messages from him, according to reports.

In response to these events, the university took decisive action and dismissed Moore on Wednesday. That same day, he allegedly forced entry into the woman’s home and threatened self-harm, as reported by NBC News.

During a court session on Friday, prosecutor Kati Rezmierski detailed that Moore had armed himself with two butter knives and a pair of scissors, declaring to the woman, “My blood is on your hands.”

Rezmierski recounted Moore’s alarming words to the woman: “I’m going to kill myself. I’m going to make you watch. My blood is on your hands. You ruined my life.”

The woman, acting quickly, contacted her lawyer and informed Moore she was notifying the authorities, which apparently led to his departure. He was subsequently apprehended by the police shortly thereafter.

Rezmierski told the court that the woman broke off her relationship with Moore on Monday, eventually presenting “herself to the University of Michigan” for “some form of investigation” after he repeatedly contacted her by phone and text.

The university fired him on Wednesday, saying he had an “inappropriate relationship with a staff member.”

“When the findings of a University investigation into Coach Moore’s behavior were presented on Wednesday, we immediately terminated his employment,” university President Domenico Grasso said in a statement on Thursday. “There is absolutely no tolerance for this conduct at the University of Michigan. None.”

“This breach of trust by Coach Moore is painful for many in our community, first and foremost, the individuals directly involved in this situation,” Grasso said. “Yet our swift and decisive action reflects the University’s staunch commitment to a campus culture of respect, integrity and accountability.”

Moore was a given a $25,000 bond in court on Friday and ordered to wear a GPS monitor and stay away from his ex-girlfriend. He posted bond Friday afternoon, the Detroit Free Press said.

Moore helmed the University of Michigan football team for two seasons after taking over from Jim Harbaugh, who left to become head coach of the NFL’s Los Angeles Chargers. He worked under Harbaugh from 2018 until taking over as head coach.

Associate Coach Biff Poggi has been named interim head coach of the Wolverines and will guide the team in its Citrus Bowl appearance against Texas on New Year’s Eve.
