Mandatory Credit: Tommy Gilligan-Imagn Images Sherrone Moore has been fired with cause, effective immediately, by Michigan after an investigation by the school found "credible evidence" the head coach 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," University of Michigan Athletic Director Warde Manuel said in a statement posted to social media on Wednesday.
Biff Poggi was appointed interim head coach, the statement said.
Moore's firing comes amid a 9-3 season in which he served a two-game suspension for his involvement in the program's sign-stealing scandal.
The Wolverines finished the regular season at No. 18 in the College Football Playoff rankings. They are scheduled to face No. 13 Texas (9-3) in the Cheez-It Citrus Bowl on Dec. 31 in Orlando, Fla.
Moore, 39, had an 18-8 record at Michigan since taking over for Jim Harbaugh, who left to become the head coach of the NFL's Los Angeles Chargers after winning the national championship in the 2023 season.
