Sherrone Moore has a victory, a loss and now an official contract to coach football at the University of Michigan.
The university on Tuesday announced that the full contract for University of Michigan Football Coach Sherrone Moore has been signed by all parties. Moore takes over the job from Jim Harbaugh who “bolted” to the NFL and the Los Angeles Chargers. Moore filled in for Harbaugh when he was suspended during last season’s National Championship run including a huge victory at Penn State.
“(Moore) is a proven leader and has been a great ambassador during his seven-plus years representing Michigan,” said University of Michigan President Santa J. Ono and Michigan Athletic Director Warde Manuel in a joint statement. “Our university and athletic department leadership is behind Coach Moore, his coaching staff and the great student-athletes that compete on the field and in the classroom. We are excited to see our team take the field this Saturday against Arkansas State.”
Moore said all of his focus is and always will be centered on “the mental, physical and spiritual development of the young men” that suit up to play for Michigan.
“Our University of Michigan administration led by President Santa Ono and Athletic Director Warde Manuel has been tremendous throughout this process, and I am excited to have this full contract completed,” he said. “Their support for our team is greatly appreciated and all three of us are aligned in our goals for this football program. We want the attention to be on the players that work so hard to represent this team and university at the highest level.”
Michigan, coming off a loss to Texas following a season-opening win over Fresno State, host Arkansas State at noon at The Big House.
