Michigan head coach Sherrone Moore will finally serve his punishment from the university this season, as he will have a self-imposed two-game suspension at the beginning of the 2025 season. Well, not the very beginning, he will serve it in games three and four against Central Michigan and Nebraska.
The suspension comes from Moore's involvement in the Connor Stallions' alleged sign-stealing incident, and Moore allegedly deleted a thread of 52 text messages on the day the scandal broke between Stallions and himself about the incident.
Moore will serve his suspension, but could also see further punishments come from the NCAA before the season starts as well. While the Wolverines will be without their head coach for two games, one being the Big Ten opener, Michigan fans don't seem to be bothered all that much about it.
What a bunch of self-righteous, sanctimonious, ankle-grabbing BS from the administration. Complete and total cowards. Literally the only administration still remaining that cowers in fear to the feckless NCAA. Absolutely disgusting. https://t.co/oKaOvuiJix

Clearly, this fan cares a lot, but they care more about what this suspension shows everyone else in college sports. Michigan needs to pick a side and stay on it instead of this whole back-and-forth dance they are doing.

Oh boy, so scary...not. Moore will be back with the team after two weeks, and if anything, this says more about what Michigan thinks of Nebraska than anything else, if they are willing to suspend him for their Big Ten opener. Clearly, the Wolverines don't seem to be too intimidated by the Cornhuskers.
UM President is stepping down. Sherrone Moore with a two game suspension. Are the two related?

They could be, but no one will ever really know. He could have truly just found a better opportunity for himself, or he could be trying to get away from something bigger at Michigan.

Sherrone Moore that Buckeye & Sparty fans can all move forward and not discuss it anymore… pic.twitter.com/ZPz4ipE0Yc
At this point, they have to find something else to talk about because it is just getting old. However, they seem to be pretty mad still, even with this suspension.
Hear me out. Last time we didn't have our head coach for a few games, Sherrone Moore was head coach for part of the season, our Quarterback had 9 in his number, our starting RB had 2 in his number, and Semaj Morgan and a number 8 was in the slot, we won the national championship https://t.co/ElFIlhJGR4

It could be fate; fans can't help but always find a way to tie things together. The last time Michigan had a suspended head coach, good things happened.

The Moore suspension does feel like more of a slap on the wrist than anything else, especially with the fact that they practically chose the games in order to benefit Moore. Michigan wants to say they didn't do anything wrong, but they are just contradicting themselves at this point to play the NCAA's game.
