Michigan promotes Sherrone Moore to become their new head coach as Wolverines' OC replaces Jim Harba

Michigan has announced Sherrone Moore as its next football coach following the departure of Jim Harbaugh to the Chargers.

Moore, 37, served as the team’s offensive coordinator and offensive line coach as it won the national championship this past season.

And after Harbaugh’s return to the NFL was confirmed on Wednesday, Michigan waited just two days to promote Moore.

‘I have been preparing my entire coaching career for this opportunity and I can’t think of a better place to be head coach than at the University of Michigan,’ Moore said in a statement. ‘We will do everything each day as a TEAM to continue the legacy of championship football that has been played at Michigan for the past 144 years.

‘Our standards will not change. We will be a smart, tough, dependable, relentless, and enthusiastic championship-level team that loves football and plays with passion for the game, the winged helmet and each other.’

Sherrone Moore was named the new head coach of the Michigan Wolverines 

After winning the national title, Jim Harbaugh ended his nine-year tenure to join the Chargers

The school shared a video of Moore reading a tweet with the news, as he reacted with Michigan’s signature catchphrase, ‘Go Blue.’

Moore stepped in as head coach for three games last season when Harbaugh was suspended amid the school’s sign-stealing scandal.

He is the 21st head coach in school history.

A former offensive lineman at Oklahoma, Moore arrived at Michigan in 2018 after stints with Louisville and Central Michigan. 

He began as the program’s tight ends coach before moving up the ladder and eventually earning play-calling duties.
