Fired Michigan coach Sherrone Moore avoids jail time following incident at staffer's home
Prosecutors dropped felony charges after Moore pleaded no contest to two misdemeanors tied to a confrontation with his former executive assistant.
- On Tuesday, April 14, 2026, Judge J. Cedric Simpson sentenced former Michigan coach Sherrone Moore to 18 months of probation, avoiding jail time for misdemeanor charges stemming from a domestic confrontation.
- The university fired Moore on December 10, 2025, after determining he engaged in an "inappropriate relationship with a staff member"; hours later, police arrested him for breaking into the assistant's apartment.
- Initially charged with felony home invasion, Moore pleaded no contest in March to misdemeanors of malicious use of a telecommunications device and trespassing, leading prosecutors to dismiss the more serious charges.
- Simpson ordered Moore to continue mental health treatment and have no contact with executive assistant Paige Shiver, though Shiver's attorneys stated the sentence did not "reflect the harm done to me."
- Moore is expected back in court on October 13, 2027, for a review hearing, while Michigan football has moved forward under new head coach Kyle Whittingham, hired in late 2025.
