Former Michigan football coach Sherrone Moore was sentenced to 18 months of probation on Tuesday after pleading no contest to malicious use of a telecommunications device and trespassing.
Moore, who was fired for cause by Michigan in December after a university investigation found that he had an inappropriate relationship with a staff member, originally faced a felony charge of home invasion and misdemeanor charges of stalking and illegal entry after he entered the same staff member’s home and allegedly threatened to take his own life. Those charges were dropped in March as part of his plea agreement.
Per the terms of his probation, Moore has been ordered to have no contact with the victim, is not permitted to use alcohol or marijuana or own any weapons, and must continue mental health treatment. Moore was handed a 180-day suspended jail sentence, with credit for three days served after his arrest, but will serve no prison time unless he violates his probation.
Moore was Michigan’s head coach for two seasons, replacing Jim Harbaugh in 2024 after Harbaugh left Michigan to become the head coach of the NFL’s Los Angeles Chargers. Michigan hired Kyle Whittingham as its new head coach in December.
