Breaking News:See what Sherrone Moore promises to do in his first training

New Michigan football coach Sherrone Moore said he doesn’t plan to tinker much with success.

Moore was formally introduced Saturday as the successor to Jim Harbaugh, who led the Wolverines to the College Football Playoff title before returning to the NFL this week as the head coach of the Los Angeles Chargers. And Moore said he doesn’t plan to differ much from the philosophy Harbaugh and his staff laid out for the team.

I want the players to be as comfortable as possible as we move forward,” Moore said.

Michigan announced the hiring of Moore, who served as Harbaugh’s offensive coordinator and offensive line coach, on Friday night. He was given a five-year deal at $6 million a year with incentives that could add millions more, the Detroit Free Press reported.

Moore was in charge of the team for four games while Harbaugh served suspensions in 2023 and the Wolverines were 4-0 under his leadership.

This is the first full-time head coach job for Moore, who turns 38 on Feb. 3. He said those four games gave him a sample of what he will face in his new job and is counting on the Michigan staff to help him. He said he wants to keep as many members of Harbaugh’s staff as he can

He said an equal priority is reaching out to the players, both currently on the roster and those intending to play at Michigan, to let them know that they come first.

“I coach hard, but I love harder,” Moore said. “At the end of the day, they know that I’m going to do everything in the best interest for them and this team
