Former Michigan Football Coach Charged with Stalking, Home Invasion

A former University of Michigan football coach is facing multiple criminal charges, including felony stalking and home invasion, following allegations stemming from an inappropriate relationship with a university staff member. Sherrone Moore, who was fired from his position last week, was arrested hours after his dismissal and has since been arraigned.

The charges against Moore, 39, include one count of third-degree home invasion, a felony, along with misdemeanor counts for stalking [24581][24892]. Prosecutors allege the charges are connected to a pattern of behavior involving the staff member, with police dispatch audio describing the accuser as a stalking victim "for months" [24052]. The arrest involved an alleged domestic dispute at the accuser's home [24052].

Moore was released on a $10,000 personal bond with the condition that he wear a Global Positioning System (GPS) tracking device [25030]. His first court appearance on an assault charge, details of which have not been made public, is scheduled for Friday [24882][24439].

The University of Michigan fired Moore after an internal investigation found "credible evidence" of an "inappropriate relationship with a staff member," which interim President Domenico Grasso called a "breach of trust" [23768][23901]. The university stated it prioritizes a safe and respectful workplace [24052].

The fallout has begun to impact the football program, with two highly-rated high school recruits withdrawing their commitments to the university following news of Moore's arrest [25015]. Moore served as Michigan's offensive line coach and co-offensive coordinator and was promoted to head coach for the 2023 season [22655][24892]. The university has now begun a search for his permanent replacement [23901].
