The University of Michigan is continuing to investigate former football coach Sherrone Moore, one day after his firing. And now, the schools' president, Domenico Grasso, is asking for the help of students and faculty members in relation to any further misconduct by the former head coach. 

On Wednesday, Sherrone Moore was terminated after school officials discovered more information related to an ‘inappropriate relationship’ he was having with a fellow staffer. 

Sources have told OutKick that the staffer met with Michigan officials on Wednesday morning, where documentation was presented to the school proving their relationship to be true.

Before the school could even officially announce his firing for ‘cause’, local police were called to a scene in the Ann Arbor area where an alleged assault took place involving Sherrone Moore. Now, he is scheduled to be arraigned on Friday in a Washtenaw County courtroom, and is currently being held in the county jail. 

This entire ordeal has led to many within the athletic department questioning the leadership of AD Warde Manuel. According to multiple sources, the investigation into this alleged relationship has been ongoing for over a month, while rumors surrounding the situation have been rampant since the season started.
