Sherrone Moore, recently fired as Michigan’s head football coach, is facing allegations of attacking a woman with a knife at the home of a Wolverines staff member.
The shocking revelation comes just hours after Moore lost his job over an “inappropriate relationship” with a member of the team’s staff.
Disturbing Police Call Reveals Alleged Attack
Police dispatch audio obtained by Daily Mail reveals that the incident occurred on Wednesday around 4pm.
The call was made from the home of a long-serving Wolverines employee.
It remains unclear whether the staffer herself was the alleged victim or if the attack simply occurred at her residence.
Moore was reportedly “suicidal” following his dismissal, according to his wife, Kelli.
Court Appearance Set Amid Turmoil
The 39-year-old father-of-three is scheduled to appear in court for arraignment on Friday, less than 48 hours after being detained at an apartment complex in Ann Arbor.
He spent Wednesday night in custody at Washtenaw County Jail after being fired and taken into police custody.
The Washtenaw County Prosecutor’s Office confirmed that he remains behind bars, with formal charges expected at his arraignment.
Sudden Firing Over Inappropriate Relationship
Earlier on Wednesday, Michigan announced Moore’s firing, citing evidence of a relationship with a staff member that violated university policy.
Athletic Director Warde Manuel stated, “This conduct constitutes a clear violation of University policy, and U-M maintains zero tolerance for such behavior.”
Because of the circumstances, Moore will not receive his $6 million buyout.
Signs of Unease Behind the Scenes
According to ESPN reporter Pete Thamel, concerns about Moore’s behavior had been “percolating” for weeks.
Sources indicated he had been acting strangely, berating assistant coaches, and exhibiting unusual behavior in recent weeks.
An initial investigation had subsided after the regular season, only to intensify in the past week, culminating in Wednesday’s dismissal.
Career Record and Immediate Fallout
Moore finished 18-8 in his two seasons at Michigan, including a 9-3 record this year.
The firing and arrest happened on the same day, sending shockwaves through the Wolverines program.
Police confirmed Moore was involved in an incident requiring immediate attention, but he has yet to be formally charged.
Questions About Staffer and Alleged Relationship
Online sources and sleuths have attempted to identify the staffer allegedly involved with Moore.
Reports indicate that her salary jumped by more than 70 percent from $58,025 in 2022-2023 to $99,000 in 2025, despite no official change in her job title.
The Daily Mail has chosen not to publicly name the staffer at this time.
University and Legal Process Moving Forward
As Michigan grapples with the scandal, attention now turns to the legal proceedings and how the program will stabilize moving forward.
With Moore behind bars and charges pending, the Wolverines face a tumultuous period both on and off the field.
