The Michigan Wolverines have chosen a new leader to help guide them for next season. After Harbaugh’s ambiguous decisions regarding his future, he has finally chosen to sign with the LA Chargers in the NFL. While the fans wish him well, the team has already moved on and chosen Sherrone Moore to replace the CFP championship-winning coach.
Moore has been with the team since 2018, over 6 years with sheer determination. He signed on to the team as the tight ends coach but was later elected as the offensive coordinator. For all these years, Moore has worked his way up the hierarchal ladder to be a fan favorite. And that love from the fans played a major role in him becoming head coach today. Additionally, in a recent statement, he expressed the mission of the team under his coaching and warned Ohio State Buckeyes for the upcoming season.
