Historic Appointment: Sherrone Moore Takes Helm as Michigan’s Head Football Coach
Sherrone Moore Takes Helm as Michigan’s Head Football Coach :- The University of Michigan has made history by appointing Sherrone Moore as the head coach of the Wolverines’ football program. Moore, who played a key role in shaping Michigan’s offense over the last three years as a coordinator, is the first Black head coach in the program’s storied history. This groundbreaking move follows Moore’s undefeated four-game stint as acting head coach last season.
Announced in a Friday night release, Moore’s five-year deal comes with a starting salary of $5.5 million and a $500,000 retention bonus per contract year, increasing by 2% annually. The incentive-laden contract offers up to $3.5 million in bonuses for accomplishments such as a Big Ten championship appearance, a Big Ten championship win, and various levels of success in the College Football Playoff. Moore, at 37, succeeds Jim Harbaugh, who departed for the NFL after a nine-season tenure.
Expressing gratitude to Harbaugh and others, Moore outlined his vision for the team, emphasizing unwavering standards. “We will be a smart, tough, dependable, relentless, and enthusiastic championship-level team that loves football and plays with passion,” he stated. The coach is committed to achieving excellence both on and off the field.
The move reflects a strategic decision by athletic director Warde Manuel to ensure continuity within the program, limiting the typical upheaval following coaching transitions. Moore’s familiarity with the team and successful acting head coach role make him a natural fit for this pivotal role. As Moore takes charge, Michigan football fans anticipate an exciting new chapter under the leadership of this dynamic and history-making coach.
