Michigan athletic directorWarde Manuelsaid a university investigation found "credible evidence" that "Coach Moore engaged in an inappropriate relationship with a staff member."
Moore, 39, had just finished his second full season leading Michigan football after taking over the program from former coach Jim Harbaugh, who left to return to the NFL as the Los Angeles Chargers coach. Moore was an assistant on Harbaugh's staff and part of the program's sign-stealing scandal. Moore served as interim head coach when Harbaugh was suspended for four games during Michigan's 2023 national championship season.
Moore was also suspended for three games – two in 2025 and another slated be served in 2026 – for deleting text messages sent to former Michigan analyst Connor Stalions in the sign-stealing scandal. Moore went 18-8 as head coach and led Michigan to a 9-3 finish in 2025, ending the regular season with a No. 18 ranking in the College Football Playoff poll.
