The sports community was rocked on Wednesday, December 10, when the University of Michigan unexpectedly announced the dismissal of head football coach Sherrone Moore. This decision followed an investigation that uncovered his alleged “inappropriate relationship” with a staff member.

Just before his termination was made public, the 39-year-old Moore was detained in connection with an assault investigation. As of Thursday morning, December 11, he remains under arrest.

The controversy surrounding Moore’s alleged behavior has shifted focus onto his personal life. Moore, in his second year as head coach, tied the knot with his wife, Kelli, in 2015. Together, they have three daughters: Shiloh, born in 2019, Solei, who arrived in 2022, and their youngest, Sadie, whose birth date remains undisclosed.

Since Moore’s arrival as an assistant coach in Ann Arbor in 2018, he and Kelli have maintained a low profile, sharing little about their family life on social media. Nevertheless, athletic director Warde Manuel acknowledged them during Moore’s promotion to head coach in 2024.

Meanwhile, NFL star Matthew Stafford and his wife Kelly are busy with their own bustling household, raising four daughters. The couple, who met at the University of Georgia, married in April 2015. A year after their wedding, they welcomed twins Chandler and Sawyer, marking the start of their growing family.

“We are thrilled to have Sherrone and his wife, Kelli, and the entire Moore family step into this new role for our football program and university community,” he said in a statement at the time.

While Kelli was a frequent presence at Wolverine football games, even dragging the kids along on occasion, she admitted that the couple’s daughters weren’t quite as invested in their dad’s gridiron success.

“Our daughters don’t care about the outcome of the games, they just want daddy to sit down and read them a book when he gets home,” Kelli said in November, according to a post shared via X by the Broyles Award, an annual honor given to the best assistant coach in college football. “And that’s what he does.”

The Athletic told a similar story, shining a light on Moore’s home life in a 2023 feature during his time as Wolverines offensive coordinator and interim head coach amid Jim Harbaugh’s three-game suspension.

The outlet wrote that after a big win over arch-rival Ohio State, Moore came home and “plopped himself in a beanbag chair” to spend 45 minutes reading to his daughters.

“There was no watching TV,” Moore told The Athletic. “They told me to sit on the beanbag and sit there, and I did. I read the books. It doesn’t really matter what I do on the field; when I’m home, I’m Dad.”

Former Michigan guard Trevor Keegan, now playing for the Dallas Cowboys, told Wolverines insider Steve Kornacki that Moore even set an example for him of how to interact with his own family.

“He’s made us such better people with our family, and we see how he interacts with his family,” he said. “It’s more than just football with him; there are a lot of off-the-field lessons. He’s taught me to play loose and be yourself.”

Moore was fired after leading Michigan to a 9-3 regular season and berth in the upcoming Citrus Bowl against Texas on New Year’s Eve.

The Pittsfield Police Department addressed Moore’s arrest in a press release on Wednesday.

“The incident does not appear to be random in nature, and there appears to be no ongoing threat to the community,” the statement read.

Authorities added, “Given the nature of the allegations, the need to maintain the integrity of the investigation, and its current status at this time, we are prohibited from releasing additional details. Further details regarding the incident will be released as soon as possible.”

The specific charges against Moore are unknown at this time.
