Michigan fired Sherrone Moore for cause after he engaged in an inappropriate relationship with a staff member.
I don't know what will turn up with Moore's arrest/detainment. It sounds like a sad situation.
But let's not pretend that it was hard to predict or imagine Moore doing something he shouldn't do, involving immorality and failure to follow rules. This guy was suspended two separate times for two separate offenses (recruiting rules violations and erasing text messages from Stalions).
And let's not pretend that Moore is just some sort of odd anomaly and a "who could have predicted this?" hire. He was hired because he was just about the only coach from the Harbaugh staff who didn't get a show cause and leave town. And no outside coaches of any esteem wanted the job because the program cheated and was under investigation.
As someone posted in the main story on the front page, Moore is the 7th Harbaugh staffer to be arrested. 4 (or was it 5?) coaches got show causes. Moore himself can't coach somewhere else because of his show cause. Harbaugh got a 10 year show cause. Michigan would love to hire Jesse Minter but - you guessed it - show cause.
The tunnel incidents. The fights. The classlessness. The players learn from the coaches. The coaches are enabled by the administration. Hell, they are still doing a federal criminal investigation for computer crimes by the QB coach.
I laughed when Moore was fired. Then I cringed at the arrest (and god knows how sad the whole story is going to turn out to be). But that school, that program, hired the guy and he is who we all knew he was - a twice-suspended show-cause coach operating in a rogue program. The problem is way, way bigger than one person.
