- Sherrone Moore was terminated Dec. 10 after the university found his undisclosed relationship with a direct report violated policy.
- Paige Shiver told Good Morning America that Moore threatened self‑harm with a butter knife when she tried to end the relationship.
- University of Michigan released a statement saying Moore’s conduct breached policy and the school expects higher standards from its leaders.
- Michigan police took Moore into custody after his wife called, claiming he was a threat to himself, and he later pleaded no contest to trespassing and malicious use of a telecommunications device.
- Good Morning America reported that a court sentenced Moore to 18 months probation and a no‑contact order with Shiver, dropping more serious felony charges.
Why it matters: University of Michigan loses its head coach and faces criticism for handling a workplace relationship, while Paige Shiver secures a no‑contact order and the football program must rebuild under new leadership.
