Sherrone Moore shockingly was fired as head coach of the Michigan Wolverines on Wednesday in what has come out as “an inappropriate relationship with a staff member” the team announced in a statement.

Moore, 39, succeeded Jim Harbaugh just in 2024 after the team won its first national championship since 1998. He did win games as the interim head coach that season as Harbaugh served a suspension for the final three regular-season games, which included a victory over the Ohio State Buckeyes where he went viral for this postgame interview.

Moore was 18-8 at Michigan and led the team to a 9-3 record this season and a berth in the Citrus Bowl vs. the Texas Longhorns.

It’s an ugly and embarrassing end to what looked like a promising career at the school.

It also shines a light on his wife Kelli Moore who now is faced with this horrible situation in the public eye.

They have been married for 10 years

They got married in 2015. He posted a happy third year anniversary on July 3, 2018, below.

They have three daughters

The couple has three girls: Shiloh, Solei, and Sadie.

Her X profile reveals more of who she is

It reads, “Jesus follower, Coach Moore’s wife, mom, and LGBTQ+ ally.” She’s also a social justice advocate.

They keep their relationship very private

Little is known about the coach’s wife as they have mostly kept out of the spotlight until now. It’s a sad day for Michigan and the Moore family.

UPDATE: Sadly, it looks like there is more to this evolving story as Moore might face possible charges after being detained by police in Saline, Michigan.

UPDATE No. 2: Moore is allegedly "in the Washtenaw County jail tonight," according to court records as reported by Tony Paul. No charges have been made at this point.

UPDATE 3: Moore has officially been charged with felony home invasion, misdemeanor stalking, and misdemeanor breaking and entering.

As ESPN's Dan Wetzel notes, as a first-time offender, Moore might not receive any jail time. It's a tragic story for all the families and victims affected.
