In a shocking development that has sent ripples through the college football world, Michigan Wolverines head coach Sherrone Moore has officially stepped down from his position, just weeks into the 2025 season.
Sources close to the university confirmed that Moore’s resignation is directly tied to a “significant administrative and compliance error” currently under investigation by both the NCAA and the University of Michigan’s internal review board.
The nature of the error has not been fully disclosed, but early reports indicate potential violations related to player eligibility, recruiting protocols, or misuse of program resources. University officials have yet to release a formal statement but are expected to hold a press conference within the next 24 hours.
Sherrone Moore, who took over the program following Jim Harbaugh’s departure to the NFL, had been seen as a rising star in college football. He led the Wolverines to a strong season in 2024, earning respect for his leadership and offensive acumen.
Just last month, Michigan was ranked in the top 10 of the AP Poll and expected to contend for another Big Ten title. Moore’s sudden departure now throws the program into uncertainty.
Interim coaching duties will reportedly be handed over to Defensive Coordinator Jesse Minter, who served in a similar capacity during a brief suspension period in the previous season.
What We Know So Far:
-
The resignation was submitted early this morning and accepted by the university’s athletic department shortly after.
-
NCAA compliance officials have been on campus since late last week.
-
Multiple sources say the investigation may involve improper benefits or failure to report internal violations.
-
Players and assistant coaches were reportedly notified in a private team meeting earlier today.
What’s Next for Michigan?
The Wolverines, currently 4–1 and entering a critical stretch of Big Ten matchups, now face a leadership vacuum at a crucial time. Recruiting could also be significantly impacted, especially with uncertainty surrounding possible NCAA sanctions.
This is a developing story. More details will be provided as official statements and findings are released.
