Adam Schefter is weighing in on Sherrone Moore’s dramatic firing as the Michigan Wolverines head coach. Schefter went on ESPN to say that Moore believed lots of people were out to get him, and we should withhold judgment because we haven’t heard from him yet.
The insider said we haven’t heard from Moore because he’s in jail, and it seems like an important detail. College football fans took to X (formerly Twitter) to weigh in on Schefter’s remarks.
Thanks for the submission!
A fan said, “Spoken like a true alum.”

Another added, “LMFAOOOOOOOOOO dude is a f***** excuse KING for Michigan.”
One wrote, “Some of his finest work. I could only dream of spewing the propaganda he does.”
Some fans were less critical,
One said, “I’m probably missing something because people don’t get arrested for having an affair. What is he accused of doing beyond that?”
Another wrote, “Lets pray for Sherrone’s wife and kids. Unfortunately, all talking heads will try to make pointers with this story.”
One chimed in, saying, “Life is about choices.”
Adam Schefter is a University of Michigan alum, and he still roots for the program. He follows the school closely and has been reporting the developments around Sherrone Moore over the past few days.
Moore was preparing his troops for a Citrus Bowl game against the Texas Longhorns (9-3). However, his Wednesday firing means Biff Poggi will lead the Wolverines in the December 31 matchup.
Sherrone Moore was fired for cause
According to USA Today, the Michigan Wolverines fired Sherrone Moore for cause at 4:43 p.m. ET on December 10, 2025. The university found credible evidence to conclude that the former head coach had “engaged in an inappropriate relationship with a staff member.”
Michigan athletic director Warde Manuel released a statement to that effect.
“U-M head football coach Sherrone Moore has been terminated, with cause, effective immediately. 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.”
Moore is unlikely to receive a buyout given the nature of his termination. Getting terminated for cause typically means the University pays either a fraction or nothing at all of the buyout following a coach’s termination.
Moore’s actions off the gridiron necessitated the termination, and he’s now in the job market. The Wolverines will be on the lookout for a permanent head coach in the near future.
