The University of Michigan football team is busy getting ready for their bowl game, but they’re still bitter about the scandal that has drawn their program into the spotlight.
“It has been a tumultuous time,” interim head football coach Biff Poggi told reporters on Monday, December 15. “A lot of anger. At first disbelief, then anger, then really, what we’re in right now is the phase of the kids, quite frankly, feel very betrayed. We’re trying to work through that.”
Poggi, 66, took over for Sherrone Moore, who was fired by the University of Michigan on Wednesday, December 10, after an investigation uncovered “credible evidence” of an “inappropriate relationship” with a staff member.
The same day of his termination, Moore was arrested after allegedly breaking into the staff member’s apartment and threatening to take his
own life in front of her.
During a hearing on Friday, December 12, Moore was charged with one count of third-degree felony home invasion, one count misdemeanor
stalking related to a domestic relationship and one count misdemeanor breaking and entering.
In the aftermath of Moore’s firing, Poggi said he “met individually with all the players multiple times” and has participated in Zoom calls with parents “multiple times.”
