ESPN: Michigan head coach Sherrone Moore suspended for game at Nebraska

LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) — Michigan football head coach Sherrone Moore is expected to be suspended for two games during the 2025 season, ESPN reports.

The suspension comes after the Connor Stalions scouting scandal and is self-imposed by the University of Michigan.

According to ESPN, the suspension will be for Michigan’s Week 3 and Week 4 games against Central Michigan and Nebraska.

Moore will also be kept from any team-related duties during those weeks and will receive additional recruiting-related penalties.

The second-year head coach was offensive coordinator in 2023 when Stalions, a former Michigan staffer, was first accused of operating an advanced scouting operation.

Stalions would have friends and family attend future opponents’ games and videotape the sideline play signals.

The former Michigan staffer was alleged to have used that tape to decipher their signals.

Moore’s suspension is over allegations that he deleted a thread of 52 text messages with Stalions, ESPN says.

The timing of this penalty gives Moore a chance to coach the game at Oklahoma, where he played offensive guard during the 2006 and 2007 seasons and graduated in 2008.

The NCAA can still issue its own punishment. A final resolution is expected before the start of the season.
