“The conduct constitutes a clear violation of University policy, and UM maintains zero tolerance for such behavior,” Manuel added.
The school named Biff Poggi was named interim head coach.
Moore is married to his wife, Kelli. The two married in 2015 and have three daughters together.
He took over as the team’s head coach in 2024, when Jim Harbaugh left to take the job with the Los Angeles Chargers. The Wolverines went 8-5 in their first season and won the ReliaQuest Bowl.
This season, the Wolverines improved to 9-3, but lost to the Ohio State Buckeyes.

Moore has not commented on his dismissal.
Before becoming head coach at Michigan, he was the team’s tight ends coach from 2018 to 2020 and three years as offensive line coach from 2021 to 2023. He was the team’s offensive coordinator in 2023 and served one game as head coach when Harbaugh was suspended.
