US EditionMichigan Search Includes Arizona State's Kenny Dillingham, Missouri’s Eli Drinkwitz, AP Source Says
Michigan fired Sherrone Moore for cause after an inappropriate relationship; candidates like Kalen DeBoer and Kenny Dillingham are considered to restore playoff contention.
- Dec. 13, 2025, the University of Michigan fired Sherrone Moore for cause after an investigation found an inappropriate relationship and began a late coaching search, aiming to hire this month.
- Moore's tenure at Michigan ended after prosecutors charged him with three crimes, and the team missed the Playoff in his two seasons following Jim Harbaugh's departure.
- Among candidates are Kalen DeBoer, Alabama coach, and Jedd Fisch, Washington coach, while the search firm contacted representatives for Kenny Dillingham, Arizona State coach, and Eli Drinkwitz, Missouri coach.
- Biff Poggi, interim Michigan coach, will lead the team in the Citrus Bowl while the next hire aims to maximize Bryce Underwood and pursue Playoff and Big Ten contention.
- Late timing complicates the coaching carousel as many top names have signed extensions, boosting Washington coach Jeff Fisch to a 37% chance while Kenny Dillingham's odds fell below 10%.
