Michigan’s Sherrone Moore Apologized to Mother, Grandmother for Cursing in Interview

The Wolverines offensive coordinator gave a colorful speech after the Wolverines beat Penn State.

Michigan offensive coordinator Sherrone Moore raised eyebrows across the country—for better or for worse—with his speech after the Wolverines' 24-15 win over Penn State Saturday.

The longtime Michigan assistant offered a passionate, colorful defense of Wolverines coach Jim Harbaugh, who was suspended three games after a conference investigation into allegations of illegal in-person scouting by his program.

On Wednesday, Moore broke ever-so-slightly from Michigan's party line and acknowledged he had to apologize to two important people in his life after his interview: his mother and his grandmother.

“It was a lot bigger than just that moment," Moore told reporters, smiling.

After the Wolverines beat the Nittany Lions, Moore told Fox he wanted to "Thank Coach Harbaugh. F---ing love you, man. I love the s--- out of you, man. Did this for you."

The Wolverines have two games left in the regular season without Harbaugh: a road trip to Maryland on Saturday, and their annual rivalry game against Ohio State on Nov. 25.
