Sherrone Moore

Sherrone Banfield Moore (first name /ʃər.ˈn/; born February 3, 1986) is an American former college football head coach and player. He most recently served as the head football coach for the University of Michigan. Moore served as Michigan's acting head coach in four games during the national championship-winning 2023 season. He succeeded Jim Harbaugh as head coach in 2024, until his termination after the regular season in 2025.

Moore played football as an offensive guard at the University of Oklahoma from 2006 to 2007. He was an assistant coach at the University of Louisville from 2009 to 2013 and Central Michigan University from 2014 to 2017. Moore first joined the Michigan Wolverines coaching staff in 2018 as the tight ends coach, and was promoted to co-offensive coordinator and offensive line coach in 2021.

Sherrone Banfield Moore was born on February 3, 1986, in Derby, Kansas. He graduated from Derby High School in 2004. He played two seasons of junior college football for Butler Community College before transferring to play for the Oklahoma Sooners in 2006. At Oklahoma, Moore appeared in 14 games as an offensive guard. Moore earned his bachelor's degree in communications from the University of Oklahoma in 2008.

Moore joined the Louisville staff as a graduate assistant in 2009 under head coach Steve Kragthorpe, and continued in that role under new head coach Charlie Strong through 2011. In 2012, he was hired as a full-time assistant, working as tight ends coach through the 2013 season. During his time as a graduate assistant, Moore earned a master's degree in sports administration.

In February 2014, Moore was hired as tight ends coach at Central Michigan by head coach Dan Enos, and in 2015 was retained by new head coach John Bonamego. In 2017, Moore was named assistant head coach and recruiting coordinator in addition to serving as tight ends coach.

On January 15, 2018, Moore was hired by the University of Michigan as the tight ends coach. On January 25, 2021, after three seasons as the tight ends coach, Moore was promoted to co-offensive coordinator and offensive line coach. Under Moore's leadership, the Michigan offensive line won the Joe Moore Award as the best offensive line in the country in both 2021 and 2022. This was the first time that a school had won the award in back-to-back seasons since the award was established in 2015.

To start the 2023 season, the University of Michigan imposed a one game suspension for Moore, along with a three-game suspension for head coach Jim Harbaugh, due to prior recruiting violations. Moore served his suspension during Michigan's season-opening win over East Carolina. On September 16, with Harbaugh suspended, Moore served as the acting head coach for the team's third game of the season against Bowling Green. Moore led the Wolverines to a 31–6 victory over the Falcons, giving him his first official win as a head coach.

Following Harbaugh's second suspension of the 2023 season, this time imposed by the Big Ten Conference in response to the University of Michigan football sign-stealing scandal, Moore was again named the acting head coach (still retaining his play-calling as offensive coordinator). This time for the remaining three regular season games, with Michigan 9–0 on the season when he assumed the role. In the first game, the Wolverines defeated No. 10 Penn State on the road, 24–15, on November 11. The following week, he led Michigan to a 31–24 win at Maryland, the school's college-football-leading 1,000th victory. In the final week of the regular season, Moore led the Wolverines to a 30–24 victory over No. 2 Ohio State. Harbaugh was credited with these three wins. After the regular season, Moore was named a finalist for the Broyles Award given to the top assistant coach in college football in 2023. Moore resumed his role as offensive coordinator and offensive line coach for Michigan's wins in the Big Ten Championship Game, Rose Bowl, and College Football Playoff National Championship to complete an undefeated 15–0 season.
