Michigan name interim head coach after Sherrone Moore firing

Michigan football has made a shocking move. They have fired Sherrone Moore, effective immediately, and with cause. With Moore gone, and the Wolverines playing in the Citrus Bowl against Texas, they needed an interim coach.

According to Nicole Auerbach of NBCSports, Biff Poggi will be the interim coach at Michigan. Michigan athletic director Warde Manuel also released a statement.

“U-M head football coach Sherrone Moore has been terminated, with cause, effective immediately,” Manuel said in his statement. “Following a University investigation, credible evidence was found that Coach Moore engaged in an inappropriate relationship with a staff member. This conduct constitutes a clear violation of University policy, and U-M maintains zero tolerance for such behavior. Biff Poggi has been appointed head football coach in an interim capacity, effective immediately.”

Poggi served as the head coach for two games in 2025, as Moore was suspended due to the actions stemming from the Connor Stallion’s investigation. Poggi coached Michigan to a 63-3 victory over Central Michigan and a 30-27 victory over Nebraska.

This is a developing story with more information to come.
