Details leading up to the controversial and abrupt end of Sherrone Moore's tenure as head coach of Michigan football continue to emerge.
The fired Wolverines head coach reportedly had a “long history of domestic violence” against the staffer with whom he allegedly had a relationship, according to The Athletic.
From The Athletic:
“Former Michigan football coach Sherrone Moore had a “long history of domestic violence” against a female football staffer during their relationship, the woman’s lawyer told police.
Detective Jessica Welker of the Pittsfield Township Police Department provided that information in sworn testimony at a complaint authorization hearing Friday prior to Moore’s arraignment on charges of third-degree home invasion, stalking and breaking and entering.”
The Athletic also provided details from an obtained transcript of the hearing, regarding what happened between Moore and the staffer on Dec. 10, the day of his firing and arrest. On that day, the staffer said that she revealed to the university her relationship with Moore. Later in the day, Moore went to her apartment.
The staffer's lawyer, Heidi Sharp, stated that the staffer had made a 911 call to notify authorities of Moore's presence in the apartment.
Amid the background of this scandal involving Moore are the Wolverines, who still have a game left to play.
Michigan is scheduled to face off against the Texas Longhorns at the Cheez-It Citrus Bowl, which will be held at the Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Florida. With Moore gone, associate head coach Biff Poggi has been handed the role of the interim head coach for that contest on Dec. 31.
