Former Michigan coach Sherrone Moore has agreed to a plea deal and is not expected to serve prison time after his December arrest.
In a Washtenaw County Court hearing on Friday, Moore pleaded no contest to misdemeanor charges of malicious use of a telecommunications device and trespassing. The three criminal charges he previously faced – a felony charge of home invasion and misdemeanor charges of stalking and illegal entry – were all dropped.
Moore will be sentenced on April 14. The malicious use charge carries a penalty of up to one year in prison while the trespassing charge carries a maximum penalty of one month in prison, but Moore is not expected to serve any prison time, according to ESPN’s Dan Wetzel.

The malicious use of a telecommunications device carries up to a year in prison. The trespassing charge is up to one month.
Attorneys unrelated to the case do not expect him to serve any time.
The plea deal comes nearly three months after Moore was arrested in Pittsfield Township, Michigan, for allegedly entering the home of a female Michigan staffer and threatening to take his own life. The arrest came on the same day Michigan fired Moore for cause after a university investigation found he had engaged in an inappropriate relationship with the same staffer.
Moore’s firing ended a two-year tenure as Michigan’s head coach after he was promoted to replace Jim Harbaugh in 2024. Michigan hired former Utah coach Kyle Whittingham as his replacement in December.
