Fired Michigan Coach Sherrone Moore Remains Jailed, No Charges Yet

PITTSFIELD TOWNSHIP, MI — Prosecutors are not expected to decide Thursday whether to charge former Michigan Wolverines head football coach Sherrone Moore in connection with an assault.

Moore, 39, was arrested after officers responded to a home in the 3000 block of Ann Arbor Saline Road in Pittsfield Township shortly after 4:10 p.m. Wednesday for an assault. Police did not include any names in its news release but did cite "multiple media requests for information."

"As this remains an active investigation, we are unable to comment further at this time, but our office will provide an update once a decision on charges is made," the Washtenaw County Prosecutor’s Office said Thursday.

Prosecutors can hold Moore for up to 48 hours before a charging decision needs to be made.

The university fired Moore Wednesday for engaging in an inappropriate relationship with a staff member, which the university said "constitutes a clear violation of University policy."

The team announced Biff Poggi as interim coach.

Moore just finished his second season and led the Wolverines to a 9-3 record. They finished No. 18 in the College Football Playoff rankings. They will play the Texas Longhorns in Cheez-It Citrus Bowl on New Year’s Eve.

Moore, who replaced Jim Harbaugh, went 18-8 as the team's coach.
