In the official statement announcing his hiring, Moore said, “I want to thank Coach Harbaugh for the faith that he has displayed in me over the past six years and for supporting my growth as a football coach during that time.” “I am grateful to Warde Manuel, the athletic director, for believing in me to take over as this football program’s next leader. I express my gratitude to President Santa Ono and the Board of Regents members for their unwavering belief in my abilities. As the incoming leader of the program, I am thrilled to return that faith and confidence.

Moore continued, “I can’t think of a better place to be head coach than at the University of Michigan. I have been preparing my entire coaching career for this opportunity.” “As a TEAM, we will exert every effort every day to uphold the 144-year tradition of championship football played at Michigan. We won’t be lowering our standards. We will be a championship-caliber football team that is intelligent, resilient, tenacious, passionate, and plays with a winged helmet, each other, and the game. We’ll keep striving for excellence in the classroom, in our communities, and off the field. I can’t wait to get started in this new position with our staff, coaches, and players.

Warde Manuel, director of athletics at Michigan, continued, “Sherrone has proven to be a great leader for our football program, especially the offensive line and players on the offensive side of the football.” He is a vibrant, ferocious, and competitive person who brings out the best in the athletes he coaches. The players enjoy spending every day in the building with him and playing for him.”

Manuel continued, “This fall, Sherman stepped up and filled in as the interim head coach when the program and especially the team needed him.” “Sherrone’s handling of that circumstance cemented my already developing faith in him. He always made it about the team, never about himself! We are overjoyed that Sherrone, his spouse Kelli, and the entire Moore family will be taking on this new role for the university community and football program.
