Ex-Michigan football coach Sherrone Moore takes plea deal

Former University of Michigan football coach Sherrone Moore has accepted a plea deal, bringing a legal matter involving the ex-Wolverines assistant to a close. Details of the charges or the specific terms of the agreement were not disclosed in the announcement, but the resolution signals the end of any pending litigation against Moore.

Moore, who served as Michigan’s offensive coordinator and offensive line coach under head coach Jim Harbaugh, was not retained after the 2023 season. His departure from the program had already marked a significant shift for the Wolverines’ coaching staff prior to the emergence of the legal case.

With the plea now entered, Moore avoids the uncertainty of a trial and can begin to move forward personally and professionally. Neither Michigan athletics nor Moore’s representatives have issued additional statements regarding the plea or his future plans.
