The alleged mistress of former Michigan football coach Sherrone Moore received a huge pay raise between 2024 and 2025.

The person allegedly linked to Moore, whose LinkedIn profile lists her as an executive assistant to the University of Michigan head football coach, earned just over $58,000 in 2023 and 2024, according to public payroll information. However, in fiscal year 2025, his salary jumped to $99,000, according to a University of Michigan salary disclosure report.

That’s a 70.62 percent increase year over year, even higher than the figure circulating on social media right now via UMSalary.info.

As OutKick’s Trey Wallace reported, Moore was fired for cause on Wednesday in his second season as head coach of the Wolverines. The move came after an investigation into Moore’s alleged “inappropriate relationship” with an employee.

And it’s hard to imagine that the huge pay raise he received didn’t raise eyebrows within the department.

“UM head football coach Sherrone Moore has been fired, for cause, effective immediately,” Michigan athletic director Warde Manual announced Wednesday. “After a university investigation, credible evidence was found that Coach Moore had an inappropriate relationship with a staff member. This conduct constitutes a clear violation of University policy, and UM maintains zero tolerance for such behavior.”

Less than an hour after his firing, police were called to a residence to arrest the former coach on possible assault charges. Moore allegedly threatened to harm himself and others before being taken into custody.

As of Thursday afternoon, Moore is being held in the Washtenaw County Jail. No charges have yet been filed, but he is expected to appear in court Friday for arraignment, according to the Pittsfield Township Police Department.

OutKick reached out to the University of Michigan and its athletics department regarding the 70 percent staff pay increase, but they did not immediately respond.
