FILE - Michigan head coach Sherrone Moore walks on the field before an NCAA college football game against Washington, Saturday, Oct. 5, 2024, in Seattle.

Michigan fired football coach Sherrone Moore on Wednesday, saying a university investigation had found evidence of an “inappropriate relationship with a staff member.”

The stunning announcement said Moore’s alleged conduct was a “clear violation of university policy.”

Moore, the team’s former offensive coordinator, was promoted to the top job in January 2024 to replace Jim Harbaugh.

The Wolverines (9-3, 7-2 Big Ten) are set to play Texas in the Citrus Bowl in a few weeks.
