The latest is Michigan coach Sherrone Moore being fired “with cause” for what the university called an “inappropriate” relationship with a staffer. He then was arrested for going to the home of the staff member. Moore already had received a suspension for his part in the signal-stealing scandal and also in some recruiting violations.

Rod Moore is likely to return to college for another full season in 2026 after being limited to just three games this year due to injury.

While Michigan football has generally avoided large scandals, the program has faced a handful of controversies, including several this decade.

From recruiting sanctions to the Connor Stallions saga to coaches fired for serious ethics violations, Michigan football has found itself in several precarious situations in recent years.
