Sherrone Moore was fired as Michigan's head football coach on Wednesday afternoon for cause after what the university deemed to be “credible evidence of an inappropriate relationship” with a staffer, which is against school policy.

On Wednesday evening, Moore was sought and detained by the City of Saline, Mich. Police Department, and was subsequently turned over to the Pittsfield Township Police Department for investigation into potential charges, according to a report from ESPN's Dan Wetzel and Pete Thamel.

The details of the investigation and any potential charges against the former Wolverines head coach have not been made known.

Moore spent two seasons as the head coach in Ann Arbor.
