After the Sherrone Moore firing and his subsequent inappropriate relationship with a Michigan staffer, the school is battling criticism from all corners. Just when the program was trying to move on from the alleged sign-stealing scandal, it seems the controversy has not left the school yet.
Earlier this month, Michigan fired Moore after they found credible evidence that suggested the head coach was engaging in an inappropriate relationship with a Michigan staffer. After the firing, Moore was arrested after he was was arrested and charged with third-degree home invasion (a felony) along with misdemeanor counts of stalking and breaking stemming. According to prosecutors, Moore entered the home of the victim without permission and threatened to inflict self-harm using kitchen knives.
As these events unfold, there is a sense of unsettlement within the program, with one former Michigan staffer explaining the repercussions.
“It’s like a bad nightmare or a soap-opera drama,” a former Michigan staffer said via the New York Times. “It’s a sad story, and it’s not over yet.”
Another Michigan staffer revealed that there were rumors across the program that Moore was in a relationship with the victim.
“There were rumors about their relationship,” a staffer said. “Nothing was set in stone — like, ‘Oh, they have a relationship.’ It wasn’t known across the building.”
