Michigan isn't likely to part ways
Any head coach who can beat a National Championship-winning Ohio State team with Michigan's worst team in a decade will be welcome in Ann Arbor for life. One thing is for sure I don't believe that Sherrone's time at Michigan will ever be cut short for non-mutual reasons.
Sherrone has already showed early success, such as beating Ohio State in back-to-back seasons and leading the Wolverines to wins against Michigan State and Alabama. Any coach who can beat the Crimson Tide in year one is worth keeping around. Barring some unforeseen unfortunate events, I don't see a way that Moore could have his time cut short by those above him. In fact, it seemed increasingly more likely that his way out of A2 would be at the next level if anything...
The NFL could come calling
Perhaps the biggest and only relief of Jim Harbaugh moving to the NFL was putting yearly rumors to rest. Countless recruits and parents alike were skeptical of just how long Harbaugh would continue to stay at Michigan, which hurt recruiting more than anything else.
If Sherrone Moore can build on his recent successes, there's a isn't snowball's chance he doesn't get a phone call from an NFL GM at some point. Michigan football has a knack for putting head coaches and specifically coordinators at the next level, which like it or not will continue. If Moore is interested in coaching at the next level, he's likely to entertain offers which could start a Harbaugh situation all over again. The best-case scenario for the Wolverines is that their head coach isn't interested in leaving Michigan.
So, how long will Sherrone be in Ann Arbor?
I believe that within the next 4-5 years a lifetime contract could be on the table for such a young head coach. That is if Sherrone Moore can continue to build on what he's already done. Landing Bryce Underwood was pivotal to the future success of this program. That one recruit could have taken an 8-5 Michigan football team to the College Football Playoff in his first year starting. It's recruiting wins like these that will determine contracts in the future.
We honestly don't know if Sherrone has an interest in coaching in the NFL. He could be a Michigan man through and through and be Michigan's version of Joe Paterno. If that's the case, the Michigan trophy room could use an expansion. I think that unless Moore moves on to the pros, he'll be here for the rest of his coaching career. There isn't a better program in the entire United States than Michigan. U-M has the championships, the players, the history, and the coaching staff to where anyone and everyone would want to be a part of it.
So, in other words, I believe that Coach Moore is here to stay.
