Head coach Sherrone Moore was fired after he was found to be having an “inappropriate relationship” with a staff member. Hours later, he was jailed and eventually charged with criminal trespass and harassment.
The Heisman Trophy finalist reflected on his decision to leave Michigan in a recent interview with Pak Gazette Digital.
“I mean, I loved Michigan. Michigan was a great school, a great program. They had a lot of wonderful people there. It just wasn’t the place for me,” Love said. “I don’t want to say I’m glad I didn’t go there, but I think I made the right decision choosing Notre Dame like any other school, because Notre Dame was the right place for me.”
In more ways than one, it seems like Love made the right decision.

According to prosecutors, Moore allegedly told the employee, “My blood is on your hands” and “You ruined my life.”
