Sherrone Moore is the hottest name in college football coaching right now. However, controversy is nothing new for Michigan football. But it’s bound to raise eyebrows when the head coach is linked with the Signgate scandal.
While most expected the fallout to revolve around Connor Stallions, Moore now faces a two-game suspension. But when an ESPN reporter dropped bombshells suggesting it won’t just be two games, but potentially more, it added even more intrigue to the situation.

The news has already become old that Moore will be suspended for two games due to his involvement in the Signgate investigation. However, the community is buzzing about the real reason behind the suspension, which was not what everyone initially expected.
According to ESPN reporter Dan Wetzel, Moore’s suspension is not due to direct wrongdoing but because he deleted messages, which was interpreted as “failure to comply” with the investigation.
Then the ESPN reporter dropped the bombshell that no one was expecting. He revealed that Michigan wants to suspend him for three or four games. He said, “Now the interesting wrinkle—it is games three and four that Michigan want to suspend him for, not games one and two, which would make kind of more sense to most of us.”
The entire Signgate controversy mainly centers on Connor Stalions, the ex-Michigan staffer accused of running an illegal sign-stealing operation. While Moore exchanged about 57 texts with him over the years, Wetzel made it clear they weren’t in constant contact.
The investigation mainly focused on Connor Stalions, the former Michigan analyst accused of leading an illegal sign-stealing operation. But Wetzel clarified that Moore’s involvement was minimal. Wetzel emphasized that Moore wasn’t directly involved in any illegal scouting, despite a few texts about Michigan State’s blitz packages.

“I mean, it’s really only about 57 text messages over a few years. So it wasn’t like they were in constant communication or anything. There were some ‘Hey, this is the blitz package’—I think there was something about a blitz package that Michigan State uses or something like that,” he added.
But here’s the real question: If Moore’s actions weren’t that serious, why is Michigan considering suspending him for two additional games? This has left many people confused. It’s still unclear why Michigan chose this timing, as suspensions usually happen at the start of the season.
