If I had a nickel for every time a Big Ten coach in Michigan was fired for inappropriate off-field behavior, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice, right?
Michigan football announced Wednesday that head coach Sherrone Moore was being fired for cause after engaging in inappropriate relations with a female staff member. Just two years ago, Michigan State fired Mel Tucker for multiple incidents of sexual harassment.
Moore was also arrested Wednesday evening in Saline, Mich., though the charges have not been released yet.
If the Wolverines’ coaching search seems a bit outside the wheelhouse for a website called Best of Arkansas Sports, rest assured that Razorback beat writers have plenty of experience when it comes to a head coach having an alleged affair with a younger blonde staffer.
