Former University of Michigan football coach Sherrone Moore was thrown out of a job when “credible evidence” was discovered about an alleged affair between him and a staff member. The Kansas native has not publicly commented on the rumors yet, nor on whether he and his wife are still together.
“U-M head football coach Sherrone Moore has been terminated, with cause, effective immediately,” Michigan athletic director Warde Manuel announced in December 2025. “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.”

Sherrone has spoken highly about his wife throughout their marriage. While celebrating their third wedding anniversary, he gushed over his “life partner and best friend” in a July 2018 Instagram post.
