Sherrone Moore, the recently fired University of Michigan head football coach, has been charged with three crimes, including felony home invasion and misdemeanor stalking. The charges come after an alleged incident involving a woman with whom Moore had a relationship, occurring shortly after his dismissal from the university on allegations of inappropriate conduct. Moore was taken into custody following the incident, during which he reportedly entered her home, threatened his life, and displayed emotionally distressing behavior, according to Reuters, Los Angeles Times, and BBC.

The University of Michigan fired Moore after an internal investigation deemed there was “credible evidence” he had violated university policy by engaging in an inappropriate relationship with a staff member. Following his firing on Wednesday, Moore was accused of entering the victim's residence and, armed with kitchen knives, making threats against his life, suggesting the woman would be culpable if he harmed himself. This alarming behavior contributed to the decision to charge him with a third-degree felony, which carries severe penalties, according to NPR and Reuters.

During his court appearance on Friday, moisture was granted a $25,000 bond, along with strict conditions including wearing a GPS monitor and refraining from contacting the alleged victim. The court proceedings noted that he was taken to a mental health facility for evaluation following the incident. While the defense attorney claimed there is “no evidence to suggest he’s a threat,” the prosecutor characterized Moore's actions as “terrorizing” the victim after losing his job, according to Los Angeles Times and BBC.

Moore's abrupt ousting as head coach came after leading the Wolverines to a successful season, which includes an upcoming game against the University of Texas in the Citrus Bowl. He had previously succeeded Jim Harbaugh as head coach and had a five-year contract worth $5.5 million, which the university now can terminate for cause without additional financial penalty. The timing of these developments raises concerns for the football program as they navigate the transition to interim coach Biff Poggi, as noted by NPR and Reuters.
