Sherrone Moore’s wife called 911 over concerns that the former Michigan coach was “suicidal” after “losing his job,” according to broadcast audio obtained by the Detroit News.
Moore and the alleged victim had an “intimate relationship for a number of years,” a prosecutor said at his hearing Friday, but the victim broke up with Moore Monday morning.
“According to our victim here, he put a knife to his throat and ran out,” the audio said. “They also advise that when he left the scene on their call, he left with multiple knives.”

Michigan athletic director Warde Manuel said in a statement that “credible evidence was found that Coach Moore had an inappropriate relationship with a staff member.” He was arraigned Friday on charges of home invasion and stalking.
Prosecutors accused Moore of contacting staff via phone calls and text messages after the breakup, prompting the woman to contact the University of Michigan and cooperate in the investigation. Moore was subsequently fired from his position as a football coach, which prosecutors said prompted him to show up at her home.
The audio also accused Moore of “stalking” the victim “for months.”
