‘The most important three weeks in program history’: Michigan football stands at the brink after Moore firing

---

The next 30 days will be key for the future of the Michigan football program.

After a scandal-ridden exit for Jim Harbaugh, his predecessor, Sherrone Moore, was fired by the school on Wednesday for engaging in an inappropriate relationship with a staffer.

MLive’s Wolverine Confidential podcast is back, with co-hosts Aaron McMann, Ryan Zuke and Andrew Kahn discussing the latest in the Moore saga that engulfed the day.

“Even when Jim Harbaugh left, you’re still coming off a national title. You have guys that want to stay because of the culture and the familiarity with Sherrone,” McMann said.

With Moore no longer leading the program, it opens the door for a total rebuild. Players will have to decide whether they stay or test the waters elsewhere, opening the door for a total teardown.

“There’s a lot of possibilities here where this roster can get completely blown up,” Ryan Zuke said. Now, fortunately for Michigan, this is the Big Ten. There’s a guaranteed money here. So guys may stay for that. But the uncertainty (at) head coach, it leaves, a lot of things open.”
