Shannon Sharpe Claims He Knows What Sherrone Moore Is Going Through [VIDEO]

Shannon Sharpe knows exactly what Sherrone Moore is going through.

The former NFL tight end lost his job at ESPN and is believed to have been dropped by multiple sponsors following the rape accusations that have made him a pariah in the sports media sphere.

Sharpe settled with his accuser, paying life-changing money. But he was hit with a second lawsuit, though the fallout isn’t as widely covered.

As for Moore, the 39-year-old was fired by Michigan this week. The university claims to have been privy to evidence pointing to an affair with a staffer. While the school did not name the staffer, she has been identified elsewhere.

Sharpe discussed the massive development on his ‘Nightcap’ podcast along with Chad Johnson and Joe Johnson on Wednesday night.

He sympathized with Moore, suggesting his own experience taught him a great deal about what the coach must be going through.

“Six months ago I went through something very similar I know what that storm is like and unless you’ve been in it you don’t know what you would do until you’re in that pressure cooker,” he said.

Sharpe also rationalized Moore’s decision-making as it pertains to his marriage. Moore is a father of three and has a wife at home, but it appears he was making inroads elsewhere.

According to Sharpe, the former Wolverines coach was incentivized to cheat on his wife for one reason. He didn’t believe he would get caught.

Moore, the offensive coordinator during the university’s run to the national title, was promoted to head coach after Jim Harbaugh returned to the NFL.

He signed a five-year deal in 2024, paying him an annual base salary of $5.5 million, with the program. However, the school won’t be liable for the remainder, given that he was fired for cause.
