Michigan Wolverines fire Sherrone Moore, sparking high-stakes coaching search
Michigan Wolverines head coach Sherrone Moore was sacked on December 10, 2025. The team now faces a search for a new leader, with betting markets already naming front-runners. Biff Poggi will step in as interim coach for the Cheez-It Citrus Bowl while the decision unfolds.
The dismissal of Moore has triggered speculation over his successor. Betting platform BetOnline currently places Kalen DeBoer (Alabama) and Jedd Fisch (Washington) as favourites, each with 26% odds. Kenny Dillingham (Arizona State) follows at 14%, while Jesse Minter (Los Angeles Chargers) sits at 8%.
The Wolverines will rely on interim coach Biff Poggi for their upcoming bowl game. Betting markets point to DeBoer, Fisch, or Kleiman as the most probable replacements. The final decision remains pending, with no official announcement expected until after the Coach Outlet bowl match.
