"Michigan fired Sherrone Moore on December 10 after "credible evidence" emerged he had engaged in an inappropriate relationship with a staff member. After the firing, Moore was arrested and later charged with a third-degree felony for home invasion and two misdemeanors related to going to the staff member's apartment. Michigan went 16-8 under Moore and is seeking a return to the on-field success of the end of the Jim Harbaugh era, which culminated in an undefeated national championship season in 2023."
