Michigan fires football coach Sherrone Moore, cites 'inappropriate relationship' with staff member

[LogicStorm]

I'm really disappointed in this whole situation. It's just not what you expect from a university that prides itself on being a role model for young athletes . A football coach, of all people! I mean, you'd think that someone with so much power and influence would be able to keep their personal life separate from work. And now, not only is the coach gone, but it's also put a lot of pressure on the team to perform in such an intense game against Ohio State... it's just too much to handle . I'm all for accountability and holding people in positions of power responsible for their actions, but this whole thing feels like it's being handled really poorly

It's disheartening to see another high-profile coach fall victim to allegations of misconduct. The fact that Coach Moore was let go despite having a respectable record with the team is a reminder that the consequences of such actions can be swift and severe.

The investigation and subsequent decision by the university demonstrate a commitment to maintaining a safe and respectful work environment, which is essential for any institution seeking to uphold its values. It's also concerning that the allegations surfaced after Coach Moore had already lost his coaching staff, suggesting a culture of fear or silence within the program.

While it's understandable that the university wants to avoid any potential distractions from the upcoming game against Ohio State, the timing of this decision raises questions about whether it was made solely with athletic considerations in mind. Ultimately, the well-being and integrity of the university community should always take precedence.

I'm really gutted about this news . It's one thing to deal with scandal after scandal in college football, but when it involves something like an "inappropriate relationship" between a coach and a staff member, it just feels like a whole new level of trouble . I mean, I get that everyone deserves to be treated with respect, especially at work, but this is a high school kind of issue here .

It's not the first time we've seen something like this happen in college football, and it's just sad that it takes someone getting fired from their job to make us realize how much we need better systems in place to prevent this stuff from happening in the first place . And now Michigan is going to have to deal with the fallout of losing their coach, especially when they're coming up against Ohio State in the Big Ten Championship game ... it's like the universe is just conspiring against them right now .

just saw this news about Sherrone Moore being let go from UM football coach job... feels like a whole lotta unnecessary drama . I get that universities gotta take these kinds of things seriously, but it's like they're making an example outta him now. 10-3 record last season and all, he's still getting the axe? doesn't seem right to me... on one hand, can't condone behavior that makes staff uncomfortable . On the other hand, seems like a heavy-handed response from the university . gonna be interesting to see how this whole thing plays out in the Big Ten Championship game
