Jim Harbaugh was asked Friday about his Michigan football successor’s scandal and said he hasn’t even processed it yet.
Sherrone Moore, Harbaugh’s offensive coordinator before taking over as head coach after Harbaugh left Michigan in 2024 to coach the Los Angeles Chargers, was fired Wednesday before being arrested and charged with criminal trespass, stalking and criminal trespass.
During a Chargers press conference on Friday, Harbaugh was asked about his reaction to the Moore situation.

“I’m still processing. I heard that. Chad Jessop told me that, one of our team guys, when we were leaving the field on Thursday. So… uh… I’m still processing that like a lot of people, I’m sure.”
Moore joined Harbaugh’s staff as tight ends coach in 2018 before moving up to offensive coordinator in 2023. That year, Moore also served as interim head coach while Harbaugh was suspended twice, leading Michigan to a 4-0 record in Harbaugh’s absence. Michigan won the national championship over Washington that year.
Harbaugh left the program to return to the NFL and Moore was promoted to become the first black head coach in Michigan football history.
Now Moore is unemployed and at the center of one of the biggest college sports scandals of the year.
After Moore was fired Wednesday, the university announced it had found credible evidence of an “inappropriate relationship” with a staff member. Moore was then arrested by the police on Wednesday after news of his firing broke.
FIRED MICHIGAN COACH SHERRONE MOORE ACCUSED OF HARASSING VICTIM ‘FOR MONTHS’ IN POLICE DISPATCH AUDIO

Moore was arraigned Friday on charges of harassment and criminal trespass. According to prosecutors, he faces a felony charge of third-degree criminal trespass and two counts of misdemeanor stalking and criminal trespass.
Both misdemeanor charges are related to a “domestic relationship.”
Prosecutors accused Moore of contacting the employee through phone calls and text messages after the breakup, prompting the victim to contact the University of Michigan and cooperate in its investigation. Moore was subsequently fired from his position as a football coach, which prosecutors say led him to show up at the woman’s home.
Moore allegedly “stormed” into the residence, grabbed a butter knife and a pair of kitchen scissors and began threatening to take his own life. According to prosecutors, Moore allegedly told the employee, “My blood is on your hands” and “You ruined my life.”
Prosecutors claimed Moore “terrorized” the employee and that they believed he was a “risk to public safety.”

Francisco Javier “Biff” Poggi was named interim head coach and will be on the sidelines when Michigan faces Texas in the Citrus Bowl on December 31.
Earlier this season, Poggi replaced Moore during Moore’s suspension for recruiting violations.
