Former Michigan Wolverines head coach Sherrone Moore has been in the headlines for all the wrong reasons for the last five weeks. Still, football fans have to be careful not to fall for everything they read about him on the internet.
On Dec. 10, the Michigan Wolverines announced that Sherrone Moore was fired for having an inappropriate relationship with a staff member. He was arrested by authorities that same day and taken into custody after allegedly threatening the staff member.
Two days later, Moore appeared in court and was charged with the following: Stalking, breaking and entering and third-degree home invasion. The 39-year-old faces up to five years in prison.
It’s obviously too early to know if Sherrone Moore may eventually return to coaching. Presumably, he wouldn’t get a second chance until his legal situation is resolved.
On Wednesday, X/Twitter user Shane Tuttle falsely reported that the NFL’s Los Angeles Chargers hosted Moore to interview for their offensive coordinator position. Even though it’s clearly fake news, the post somehow got over 1.6 million views on X:

Chargers head coach and former Michigan HC Jim Harbaugh fired offensive coordinator Greg Roman on Tuesday. But no, he is not about to bring Moore to the NFL as his OC.
Moore was Michigan’s offensive coordinator during the school’s 2023 national championship-winning season. With Jim Harbaugh suspended over the sign-stealing scandal, Moore served as the interim HC for four games that year.
Sherrone Moore was officially credited with just the one victory, but Michigan went undefeated that year. After Harbaugh took the Chargers’ HC job in 2024, Moore was named his successor and went 8-5-0 that year.
Moore was 9-3-0 in his second full season as Michigan’s HC before being let go. Biff Poggi was named the interim head coach for the Citrus Bowl game, which resulted in a 41-27 loss to the Texas Longhorns. Moore finished with an 18-8-0 record, per Pro Football Reference.
