Ex-Michigan Coach Jailed After Firing Amidst Affair and Threat Allegations
Sherrone Moore, the head football coach at the University of Michigan, was fired “with cause” by the university due to an alleged inappropriate relationship with a staff member, according to officials. Following his termination, Moore was detained by police on charges of assault. The firing comes on the heels of Lane Kiffin’s departure from the University of Mississippi, and both events occur before the College Football Playoff and bowl games. Moore’s replacement will be Biff Poggi, the team’s associate head coach.
