Michigan’s Coaching Search Forced to Pivot After ‘Worst-Case Scenario’ Weekend
Michigan aims to avoid a separate NCAA transfer window by hiring a full-time coach before Jan. 2, hoping to stabilize the program after recent coaching and legal turmoil.
- Warde Manuel set a hiring timeline to have a new coach in place between Christmas and the Wolverines' bowl game while interim coach Biff Poggi prepares to lead Michigan in the Cheez-It Citrus Bowl on Dec. 31 in Florida.
- After Moore's Dec. 10 firing for an inappropriate relationship, the university's internal review led to his Dec. 12 arrest, where he was released on a $25,000 bond from Washtenaw County Jail.
- Poggi, who has interviewed and served as interim, is actively pursuing the permanent Michigan job and said, `Everything that happens in this building has to be reevaluated, quite frankly, because it is not up to standard.`
- Warde Manuel said he hopes to hire a coach before the Citrus Bowl to avoid a separate 15-day transfer window as the NCAA portal runs Jan. 2-16, aiming to retain Bryce Underwood.
- Amid prior NCAA probations and scandals, Michigan's search is constrained by institutional scrutiny as the NCAA placed Michigan on probation earlier this year and penalties will cost more than $30 million, with the Board of Regents engaging investigators.
