The Michigan Wolverines football coach, Sherrone Moore is expected to serve a two-game suspension during the 2025 season. This comes as a part of the school’s self-imposed sanctions from the 2023 Connor Stalions scouting scandal. This was reported by multiple outlets on Monday.
Moore was named the full-time Wolverines head coach following Jim Harbaugh’s departure to the Los Angeles Chargers. Moore was implicated in an alleged series of deleted text messages between him and Stalions. The messages were believed to have been exchanged on the same day the alleged sign-stealing scheme became public. Now, former Ohio State coach Urban Meyer has chimed in.
Urban Meyer Demands Harsh NCAA Penalty for Michigan After Scouting Scandal Bombshell
Meyer didn’t hold any punches when he recently spoke about the Michigan scandal. He made it a point to say any coach lying to the NCAA should be “finished.” Michigan faces possible sanctions after its scouting scandal, which could spell bad news for the school and its coaches.
While Michigan could face future sanctions from the NCAA, former Ohio State coach Urban Meyer lobbied for some harsh punishment — especially for Moore.
“If you lie as a college football coach to the NCAA, in my personal opinion, you’re finished, you’re done,” Meyer said on a recent edition of the “Triple Option Show.”
“That’s not making a text message. That’s not going to lunch with someone you’re not supposed to go to lunch with. That’s not sending a letter when you’re not supposed to,” Meyer said. “All of the frivolous level threes and all that nonsense.”
Meyer acknowledged that although his opinion was harsh, the alleged acts were truly unacceptable for college football, professional football, or sports in general.
“When they got you, and they say, ‘Did you do this?’ and they refused to cooperate, or they refused, or they lied, in my very strong opinion, you’re finished coaching in Division I college football or basketball. Guess what happens? The risk now is too high, and I don’t think you’d ever see this kind of stuff again.”

In October of 2023, Stalions was suspended by Michigan. He resigned from his position the month after he was suspended. In August of 2024, Stalions found his new job as he was named defensive coordinator at Detroit Mumford High School.
Meyer coached the Buckeyes to a national championship after the 2014 regular season, making Ohio State the winners of the inaugural College Football Playoff. Ohio State defeated Notre Dame in January to claim it’s latest national title.
