FOOTBALL
MICHIGAN: The school hired Sherrone Moore to replace coach Jim Harbaugh, giving the 37-year-old offensive coordinator an opportunity to lead college football’s winningest program.
The school unsurprisingly elevated Moore just two days after Harbaugh bolted to lead the Los Angeles Chargers with a five-year deal that gives him another chance to chase a Super Bowl title.
“I want to thank Coach Harbaugh for the faith that he has displayed in me over the past six years and for supporting my growth as a football coach during that time,” Moore said in a statement.
Moore’s contract is for five years, with a starting annual salary of $5.5 million, guaranteed annual raises and several bonuses for accomplishments such as conference championships ($500,000), College Football Playoff appearances ($200,000) and national championships ($1 million).
Moore is a first-time head coach – at least formally.
Michigan went 4-0, including wins over Ohio State and Penn State, while Moore was filling in for Harbaugh as he served two separate suspensions for potential NCAA rules violations during the 2023 season.
Moore becomes the first Black head coach in the history of Michigan football.
Moore also served a one-game suspension during the 2023 season related to a recruiting infractions NCAA case. The NCAA’s investigation into allegations of sign-stealing and in-person scouting – which resulted in the late-season three-game suspension of Harbaugh by the Big Ten – has also yet to be resolved.
Harbaugh denied being involved in the sign-stealing scheme and there has been no evidence made public to show Moore, who became Michigan’s primary play-caller this season, was involved.
