Quiet Pleas Make Sense!

Tears of a disgraced man. Sherrone Moore and wife Kelli learn the lesson.

With Kelli by his side, disgraced Michigan Wolverines football coach Sherrone Moore take a plea deal to avoid the lengthy bid in the iron college. He is not out of the woods.

He still owes Michigan that severance.

He must end all association with that woman and those surrounding her.

Hopefully Kelli will not divorce him, taking sposual and child support.

A judge on Friday dismissed several criminal charges against former University of Michigan football coach Moore in a plea deal with prosecutors over his alleged break-in at a woman's home.

Felony home invasion, misdemeanor stalking and misdemeanor breaking and entering were dropped from the Washtenaw County matter against Moore.

As those more serious allegations went away, the former Michigan coach pleaded no contest to two new misdemeanor charges filed by prosecutors, malicious use of a telecommunications device in context of a domestic relationship and trespassing.

Defense lawyer Ellen Michaels said her client was overcharged in the original complaint.

"From the beginning, we maintained that the felony of stalking charge and the entry without permission charge, all the charges against Mr. Moore, were not supported by facts and law," she told reporters outside of court.

"Dismissal of those charges validates the concerns we raised about the investigation from the very beginning."

The disgraced football coach is set to be sentenced on April 14.

"Mr. Moore is pleased to put this behind him and move forward," Michaels said.

The married Moore was fired by the university in December after the school concluded that he had an “inappropriate relationship” with a staff member.

Career savable. Possible, but difficult.

He then allegedly barged into the home of the woman he was having the inappropriate relationship with through an unlocked door, police said. He grabbed two butter knives and a pair of scissors then threatened to take his own life.

"'I’m going to kill myself,'" a prosecutor said, quoting Moore's alleged words to the victim. "'I’m going to make you watch my blood is on your hands. You ruined my life.'"

Moore took over the famed football program from Jim Harbaugh, who led Michigan to a national championship and then took a head coaching job with the Los Angeles Chargers.

Michigan went 8-5 in Moore's first season at the helm in 2024 and the Wolverines were 9-3 this past campaign before he was terminated.

“As with any case our office handles, the plea agreement was reached following evaluation of the factual, evidentiary, and legal circumstances — and the overarching need for accountability and public safety,” prosecutors said in a statement after Moore pleaded no contest.

“It is our hope that this resolution will ensure accountability, and allow the victim an opportunity to heal and move forward.”

Michigan hired former Utah coach Kyle Whittingham to lead the scandal-plagued Wolverines football program.
