Sherrone Moore describes changes as full-time head coach

This Spring has been the first for Sherrone Moore as the full-time head coach of the Michigan Wolverines. With that, has come a time of transition for Moore as he goes from being a coordinator to the head man.

Moore described those changes recently, explaining that his role is more about management than it is about football now.

“Just different in the fact that it’s not as much football,” Sherrone Moore said. “I used to sit in the room with two big screens and watch football all the time, but it’s less of that and more of managing of an organization on a daily basis. Just keeping our alignment and keeping our process the same. So, that’s really been the biggest difference for me.”

Sherrone Moore has been at Michigan since 2018. At that point, he was the tight ends coach and in 2021 he became the co-offensive coordinator. He was also the team’s acting head coach when then-head coach Jim Harbaugh was suspended at the end of the 2023 season. However, that was different than being the permanent head coach, as Harbaugh was able to coach during the week, not just during games.

That time as the acting head coach wasn’t exactly the same as being the permanent head coach. However, it has seemed to help with Moore’s transition.

“It’s been great,” Moore said. “There’s been things that go on every single day that are different, that you have to handle. Excited about everything that’s gone on and want to keep progressing.”

Beyond adjusting to a new role, Sherrone Moore is widely adjusting to a new roster in Ann Arbor after 13 Wolverines were selected in the NFL Draft. Finding a way to replace that talent is going to be tough. However, it’s also going to be key to maintaining Michigan’s success.

Sherrone Moore on Michigan quarterbacks

One of the big questions at Michigan in 2024 is the quarterback position. It’s a spot that Sherrone Moore says the team will see about in Fall Camp.

“Everybody’s getting better,” Moore said. I think that’ll go into the summer, the fall. We’ll see when we get to fall camp.”

Obviously, Moore isn’t ready to name a starter. However, the team does have plenty of options to choose from, but Alex Orji and Davis Warren appear to be leading the race. Still, Michigan isn’t in a rush to name a starter and this could be an interesting race to follow leading up to the season.
