The Michigan Wolverines are coming off one of the noisiest offseasons in all of college football. Head coach Sherrone Moore was dismissed from the program after the Univeristy determined that he had been involved in an "inappropriate relationship" with a staffer.
"U-M head football coach Sherrone Moore has been terminated, with cause, effective immediately," the university announced in December. "Following a University investigation, credible evidence was found that Coach Moore engaged in an inappropriate relationship with a staff member."
The university then hired Jenner & Block, a Chicago-based law firm, to launch a full investigation into the practices and culture of its athletic department and the scandals that have impacted it recently. Ultimately, the investigation led to the school and athletic director Warde Manuel agreeing to mutually part ways at the end of the year.
Now, the school and football program are looking to turn the corner, a process that started with the hire of the well-respected Kyle Whittingham as the football program's new head coach. Whittingham is inheriting a team that went 9-4 last season, including a loss to the Texas Longhorns in the Cheez-It Citrus Bowl. For Whittingham to get the Wolverines back to ****** le contention, he'll have to unlock the full potential of quarterback Bryce Underwood, the number-one overall in the 2025 recruiting class.
Luckily for Michigan fans, he's poised to do just that.
