When it was announced that Michigan was firing Sherrone Moore as football coach on Wednesday night, it sent shock waves throughout college football. It immediately becomes a highly coveted job, and it'll have a ripple effect over the next couple of weeks when they hire Moore's replacement.
The firing came just seven days after Early Signing Day was completed. What happens with their Class of 2026 recruiting class remains to be seen. But one thing that can happen is that when a head coach leaves a program, any player can hit the transfer portal or opt out of their NLI, so long as it happens within a certain timeframe.
