Jim Harbaugh has left the Wolverines, and yet his crimes still annihilate the coaching staff in Ann Arbor. The cheating scandal that Harbaugh and his staff led in the 2023 season gained more traction daily, with more and more revelations coming to light. This time, it’s Sherrone Moore who will face the limelight in the wake of Connor Stalions’ notoriety causing an outcry among college football fans.

The Michigan Wolverines were the national champions of the 2023 season, yet there seems to be no high reception from the community. It is because during the latter part of the season, the Harbaugh sign-stealing controversies came to light and all credibility of the Wolverines’ actual talent was taken away. The NCAA launched an investigation, and it has been going on since, but while the men in maize celebrated the fact that Sherrone Moore was their new coach, they will be slapped with a harsh reality check soon.

Sherrone Moore is in talks of being suspended as Connor Stalions’ crimes are revealed

In recent breaking news, the Michigan HC might face suspension because he was a part of the staff that violated NCAA rules, as per the NCAA’s notice of allegations. While most of the spotlight focuses on former Michigan staff member Connor Stallions, it looks like Moore might be going down with the sinking ship too.

The NCAA’s further investigation revealed that Connor Stalions was disguised on the sidelines of the game against the Carnegie Mellon Tartans. Additionally, the draft as curated by the NCAA revealed that he was wearing a bench pass, Central Michigan coaching gear, and also a disguise, which let him go unseen among the swarm of coaches and the players. But as for Moore, he also faces grave danger to his HC job since he was very much a part of the entire scandal and has failed to prove his innocence outside of it. Yet, these aren’t the only two coaches who have had their hands dirty, rather, it looks like the entire coaching staff has been part of a major coup right under everyone’s noses for so long, as per NCAA reports.

The Michigan Wolverines are dirty and full of delinquents?

Though the new HC seems to be stuck in the crossfire, it is worth noting that he is just one of the seven last season members accused of violating NCAA rules. The reason why Moore is being connected to Stalions’ share of crimes is because he is accused of allegedly deleting a thread of 52 messages with the former Michigan coach on the same day when it was revealed that Stalions was part of the sign-stealing scandal.

But that’s not all. Former staff members like Chris Partridge, Denard Robinson, Jesse Minter, and Steve Clinskscale apparently all had some involvement or the other in ensuring the Wolverines gained an unfair advantage over the other teams. More on the Stalions’ front reveals that several team interns and another full-time employee had full knowledge of the operation and chose to indulge in it after the former coach convinced them that whatever they were doing wasn’t malpractice.

Chris Partridge, the former defensive assistant, is being accused of pressuring one of the Michigan players to mislead the NCAA authorities in a desperate effort to “protect” the staff and by extension, Stalions. Additionally, he is accused of several Level 2 rule violations which are because Partridge held on-campus training sessions with four prospects during the spring and summer of 2023.

With so much to unpack and so many more crimes behind the curtain to be talked about, a question comes to mind- was any of Michigan’s success ever real? Sure, we all commended their 15-0 undefeated streak, but now that the crimes have come to light, the team has lost all respect and admiration of all those loyal fans who stayed true to their team. In conclusion, ‘all that glitters isn’t gold’, especially when it comes to the Michigan Wolverines, who are far away from the shade of yellow too at the moment.
