Moore detained by police after termination
Michigan fired football coach Sherrone Moore on Wednesday after finding evidence of an “inappropriate relationship with a staff member”, a stunning end to his short, up-and-down tenure that saw the Wolverines take a step back on the field after winning the national championship and getting punished by the NCAA.
“This conduct constitutes a clear violation of university policy, and UM maintains zero tolerance for such behavior,” athletic director Warde Manuel said in a statement.
The announcement did not include details of the alleged relationship. Moore, who is married with three young daughters, did not return a message from the Associated Press seeking comment.
Later Wednesday evening, ESPN reported that Moore was in police custody for an undisclosed reason.
