Former Michigan Wolverines coach Sherrone Moore’s dismissal from the University of Michigan in December 2025 followed significant allegations regarding his conduct with a staff member. The individual involved, identified as Paige Shiver, claimed that Moore had engaged in an inappropriate relationship with her, which she described during a recent media interview.

Shortly after his firing, Moore found himself facing legal troubles. He was arrested and subsequently charged with a series of serious offences including third-degree home invasion, stalking, and entering a property without permission. In an agreement concluded in March 2026, he pleaded no contest to two misdemeanours—malicious use of a telecommunications device and trespassing. Upon entering his plea, the more severe charges against him were dismissed, and he was sentenced to 18 months of probation.
The relationship between Moore and Shiver reportedly began when she joined the University of Michigan as an intern in late 2021. As her career progressed, she was elevated to the position of executive assistant when Moore was appointed co-offensive coordinator in 2024. Claims suggest that their romantic entanglement persisted until Shiver ended it on December 8, 2025, just two days before Moore was dismissed from his coaching role.
Following his termination from the university, the allegations against Moore escalated dramatically. On December 10, shortly after his firing, police responded to an emergency call from Shiver, who reported that Moore had been stalking her and had unlawfully entered her residence, threatening self-harm in the process. The situation marked a troubling conclusion to Moore’s coaching career, which had seen him rise from a tight ends coach to head coach of the Wolverines.
In statements following her disclosure of the relationship, Shiver expressed sorrow about the dynamics of their time together. She recently provided emotional insights into her experiences during an interview on “Good Morning America.” Shiver claimed that the relationship led to her experiencing significant emotional manipulation, stating, “He always had a story, always had a way to pull me in.”
In a striking revelation, Shiver also disclosed that she became pregnant during their relationship. She recounted her decision to terminate the pregnancy on medical advice, citing potential health risks. Her comments have sparked further discussion regarding consent and the power imbalance in their relationship, leading her lawyers to describe her experiences as manipulative and exploitative.
Sherrone Moore has chosen to maintain a relatively low profile since his sentencing, quietly undergoing probation and adhering to court mandates which include ongoing mental health treatment and abstaining from alcohol and drugs. He was also prohibited from any contact with Shiver for the duration of his probationary period. Moore’s wife, Kelli, has been a noticeable presence throughout these proceedings, and during the sentencing, the judge highlighted her support as a critical factor in Moore’s leniency from a harsher sentence.
As of now, it remains uncertain what the future holds for both Moore and Shiver. While Moore’s coaching career has effectively come to a halt, Shiver’s poignant revelations may lead to broader discussions surrounding workplace conduct and accountability in professional sports environments. The fallout from this situation serves as a powerful reminder of the potential consequences stemming from breaches of trust and ethical conduct within institutions of higher learning.
