Police said the investigation was ongoing.
Earlier in the day, Moore was fired from the show. Michigan athletic director Warde Manuel said in a statement that “credible evidence was found that Coach Moore had an inappropriate relationship with a staff member.”
“The conduct constitutes a clear violation of University policy, and UM maintains zero tolerance for such behavior,” Manuel added.

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 yet 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.
He was part of the coaching staff when the team won the national championship.
