Bottom Line: A personal scandal has now become a criminal case that could permanently end Moore’s career.
Michigan football head coach Sherrone Moore is facing serious criminal charges after authorities accused him of breaking into the apartment of his former executive assistant and engaging in stalking behavior just days after their alleged relationship ended.
According to court records, Moore has been charged with home invasion and stalking following what police described as an incident at the woman’s apartment. Prosecutors allege Moore forced his way into the residence, grabbed knives, and threatened to harm himself during the confrontation. The woman had reportedly ended the relationship shortly before the incident, and Moore was fired amid fallout over the inappropriate workplace affair.

Moore, a married father of three, was earning more than $5 million per year as Michigan’s head coach before his termination. Now, instead of game plans and recruiting calls, he is facing felony charges that could carry up to six years in prison if convicted.
A judge set Moore’s bond at $25,000 on Friday and ordered him to wear a GPS monitoring device. The case remains under investigation, and Moore has not been convicted of any crime. His legal team has not yet publicly commented on the allegations.
The situation has sent shockwaves through college football, where Moore was once seen as a rising star. Instead, the story has become a cautionary tale about personal conduct, workplace boundaries, and the consequences that follow when those lines are crossed.
For a program that prides itself on discipline and leadership, the scandal lands as another reminder that success on the field does not excuse behavior off it. What happens next will be decided in court, not on Saturdays in the Big House.
