Sherrone Moore Fired by Michigan, Then Detained Hours Later in ‘Alleged Assault’ Investigation
Fired Michigan Coach Sherrone Moore Jailed as Police Probe ‘Alleged Assault’

-
The former University of Michigan Wolverines head football coach was taken into police custody on December 10, 2025 — just hours after being fired by the university. The arrest stems from an “alleged assault,” which police say does not appear to be random. Authorities from Pittsfield Township Police Department (Michigan) responded to a call around 4:10 p.m. local time, detained a suspect, and lodged him in Washtenaw County Jail pending review of charges.
University Action & Context
-
Earlier that same day, the Wolverines fired Moore “with cause” after an internal investigation concluded there was “credible evidence” that he had engaged in an inappropriate relationship with a staff member — a serious breach of university policy. The school emphasized a zero-tolerance stance toward such conduct.
-
In the wake of his firing and arrest, longtime assistant coach Biff Poggi has been named interim head coach of the team.
On-Going Investigation & What’s Known / Unclear
-
As of now, charges against Moore have not been publicly filed; police say the investigation is ongoing and have declined to release further details, citing the need to preserve the integrity of the probe. Law enforcement has stated there is “no ongoing threat to the community.”
-
The timing — a firing for misconduct followed by an assault investigation — has triggered major scrutiny on the program and raised questions about what exactly occurred.
