Michigan Football Coach Sherrone Moore Held in Custody Amid Allegations of Assault
In a shocking turn of events, former University of Michigan football coach Sherrone Moore is being held in custody on suspicion of assault, just hours after he was fired from his position. The 39-year-old coach was detained by police in Saline, Michigan, and later turned over to authorities in Pittsfield Township for further investigation.
Moore's termination was announced earlier in the day following an investigation into his conduct with a staff member, which revealed an "inappropriate relationship" between the two. The school stated that Moore had been let go effective immediately, citing "cause."
Pittsfield police released a statement saying they responded to reports of an alleged assault at approximately 4:10 p.m. and took a suspect into custody. While no further details can be disclosed due to ongoing investigation, authorities emphasized that the incident does not appear to be random or pose an immediate threat to the community.
Moore spent two seasons as Michigan's head coach after serving as the team's offensive coordinator since 2018. His departure has sent shockwaves through the football world, with many questioning how such behavior could have gone undetected for so long.
As the investigation into Moore's alleged involvement in an assault continues, he remains lodged at the Washtenaw County Jail pending review of charges by the county prosecutor.

can't believe this is happening! I mean, 2 seasons on and suddenly this happens? It just goes to show you how blind we are sometimes as parents (and humans in general) to warning signs... my own kiddo was always a bit of a wild card, but at least we had some red flags to work with 
. And what really gets me is the timing - I'm sure it's no coincidence that this all comes out now that he's been let go... poor kid (I mean, coach) might've gotten himself into a whole mess of trouble 
.
. From what we know so far, it sounds like Sherrone Moore's behavior was definitely unacceptable - an "inappropriate relationship" with a staff member is not something you can just ignore or sweep under the rug. It's even more concerning that he got to keep coaching and wasn't held accountable for much longer.
how many other people were affected? my kids look up to their coaches as idols, it's terrifying to think about the message this sends out... I'm all for accountability but also hope that whatever happened gets properly investigated so justice is served 
I hope the investigation is thorough and justice is served, but at the same time, can we please just focus on the game already? 
I mean, two seasons as head coach is a big deal and to have it all come crashing down because of some allegations is just wild 
As a fan I feel bad for the University of Michigan and its players who are left wondering what happened 
Can't wait to see how this whole thing unfolds 
. I mean, I love a good football game, but not when it comes to people abusing their power, you know? He was supposed to be this young coach with so much potential, and instead he's out there doing something that's totally unacceptable... like, what even is an "inappropriate relationship" on the job, right? 
.
? That's just great. Because, you know, being fired from your job is clearly not enough punishment for some people. I mean, what's next? Getting a slap on the wrist and a pat on the back because you hurt someone? No thanks, not on my watch 
and now sherrone moore is behind bars 
i hope he gets a good lawyer and a fair trial or whatever
I mean, 2 seasons as head coach and it takes till now for someone to come forward about him allegedly being all up in some staff member's grill? 
. I mean, have you seen the lengths some people will go to when they think they're above the law? Sherrone Moore's alleged assault on a staff member was just the tip of the iceberg - it seems like he had a history of questionable behavior that went all the way up to the top 
. What kind of culture is it where someone can get away with this for two whole seasons without anyone batting an eye? 
. And let's be real, who's going to investigate this and what if it was just a cover-up? 
This whole thing stinks of a bigger problem that needs to be addressed 
How could the university not see or hear about this? It's like they turned a blind eye to all the weird stuff Coach Moore was doing behind closed doors.
