Sherrone Moore’s emotional postgame interview became a major talking point Saturday after Michigan went into Happy Valley and scored a victory.
The Wolverines’ acting head coach, filling in for the suspended Jim Harbaugh, let it all out in an expletive-filled response to FOX’s Jenny Taft. Moore later called it a release of emotions following a wild week that saw the Big Ten reprimand Michigan for violating the league’s sportsmanship policy.
And yes, he heard about it from some close family and friends afterward.
“My mom called me right after. I thoroughly apologized,” Moore said in an interview with WXYT-FM’s “Stoney and Jansen” show. “But she understood the moment, what was going on throughout the week, so she forgave me pretty quick.”
Moore, who typically serves as the program’s offensive coordinator and offensive line coach, was called into duty Saturday after Michigan’s emergency filing for a temporary restraining order — an attempt to halt the Big Ten’s suspension of Harbaugh — was delayed. Both parties are due in court Friday for a hearing that allow Harbaugh back on the sidelines this Saturday for Michigan’s game at Maryland (Noon, FOX).
