Sherrone Moore, the fired Michigan football coach, was imprisoned following his startling departure.

Fired Michigan Wolverines head football coach Sherrone Moore was booked into jail on Wednesday night after the school’s athletic director dismissed him for having an “inappropriate relationship” with a staffer.

Moore, 39, was in Washtenaw County Jail in Michigan, Fox News Digital confirmed. No charges were listed.

Pittsfield police said they responded to a home as part of an assault investigation. Police said a suspect was taken into custody and that the incident does not appear to be random in nature. Police said the suspect was lodged in the Washtenaw County Jail pending review of charges by the Washtenaw County prosecutor.

Police said the investigation was ongoing.

Earlier in the day, Moore was dismissed by the program. Michigan athletic director Warde Manuel said in a statement that “credible evidence was found that Coach Moore engaged in an inappropriate relationship with a staff member.”

“The conduct constitutes a clear violation of University policy, and U-M maintains zero tolerance for such behavior,” Manuel added.

Moore is married to his wife, Kelli. The two wed in 2015 and have three daughters together.

He took over as the team’s head coach in 2024 when Jim Harbaugh left for the Los Angeles Chargers job. The Wolverines were 8-5 in his first season and won the ReliaQuest Bowl.

This season, the Wolverines improved to 9-3, but lost to the Ohio State Buckeyes.

Moore has not yet commented on his dismissal.

Before he became head coach at Michigan, he was the team’s tight ends coach from 2018 to 2020 and three years as the offensive line coach from 2021-2023. He was the team’s offensive coordinator 2023 and served one game as a head coach when Harbaugh was suspended.
