In Ann Arbor, Michigan, Sherrone Moore, who was unexpectedly dismissed as the University of Michigan’s football coach this week, now faces legal charges. On Friday, prosecutors announced that Moore has been charged with three offenses, including home invasion and stalking an individual he previously dated.

Following his dismissal and subsequent arrest on Wednesday, Moore has spent two nights in custody.

The 39-year-old coach, who helmed the Wolverines for two seasons, was terminated due to what the university described as an inappropriate relationship with a staff member. Shortly after his firing, police apprehended Moore in Pittsfield Township, near Ann Arbor, after allegations of assault surfaced.

According to the Washtenaw County prosecutor’s office, Moore allegedly “unlawfully entered the home of a victim with whom he had a dating relationship.”

Prosecutors in Michigan claim that after losing his coaching position, Moore “terrorized” his former girlfriend.

Defense attorney Joe Simon said Friday, “There’s no evidence to suggest he’s a threat.”

Michigan has not disclosed details of the alleged relationship but said an investigation found credible evidence against Moore, who is married with three young daughters. Athletic director Warde Manuel said the behavior was “a clear violation of university policy.”

Moore signed a five-year contract with a base annual salary of $5.5 million last year. According to the terms of his deal, the university will not have to buy out the remaining years of his contract because he was fired for cause.

Moore, the team’s former offensive coordinator, was promoted to lead the Wolverines after they won the national title. He succeeded Jim Harbaugh, who returned to the NFL to lead the Los Angeles Chargers.

Michigan is set to play No. 14 Texas on Dec. 31 in the Citrus Bowl. Biff Poggi, who filled in for Moore when he was suspended earlier this season in relation to a Harbaugh-era sign-stealing scandal, will serve as interim coach.

While the school seeks a new head coach, the Wolverines may lose players in the transfer portal this winter and donors who help fund revenue-sharing and NIL deals may hesitate to invest in the winningest program in college football history.
