Jim Harbaugh was asked about his Michigan football fans’ scandal on Friday and said he still hasn’t even dealt with it.
Sherrone Moore, Harbaugh’s offensive coordinator before he took the head coaching job after Harbaugh left Michigan in 2024 to lead the Los Angeles Chargers, was fired Wednesday before he was arrested and charged with home invasion, stalking and burglary.
During a Chargers’ news conference Friday, Harbaugh was asked about his reaction to Moore’s situation.

“Still processing. Heard that. Chad Jessop told me, one of our equipment guys, when we came off the field last Thursday. So…it um…still processing it like a lot of people, I’m sure.”
Moore joined Harbaugh’s staff as tight ends coach in 2018 before working his way up to offensive coordinator in 2023. That year, Moore also served as interim head coach while Harbaugh was suspended twice, leading Michigan to a 4–0 record in Harbaugh’s absence. Michigan won the national championship over Washington that year.
Harbaugh left the program to return to the NFL and Moore was promoted to become the first black head coach in Michigan football history.
Now Moore is out of a job and at the center of one of the biggest college sports scandals of the year.
After Moore was fired Wednesday, the university announced it had found credible evidence of an “inappropriate relationship” with an employee. Moore was then detained by the police Wednesday after news of his firing broke.

Moore was charged with stalking and home invasion on Friday. According to prosecutors, he faces a charge of crime for home invasion in the third degree and two counts of stalking and burglary.
Both misdemeanor charges are related to a “domestic relationship.”
Prosecutors accused Moore of contacting staff via phone calls and text messages after the break-in, prompting the victim 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 the woman’s home.
Moore allegedly “barged” his way into the residence, grabbed a butter knife and kitchen shears and began threatening to take his own life. According to prosecutors, Moore allegedly told the employee, “My blood is on your hands” and “You ruined my life.”
Prosecutors claimed that Moore “terrorized” the employee and that they believed he was a “public safety risk.”

Francis Xavier “Biff” Poggi was named interim head coach and will be on the sidelines when Michigan takes on Texas in the Dec. 31 Citrus Bowl.
Earlier this season, Poggi took over for Moore during Moore’s suspension for recruiting violations.
