Sherrone Moore to Join Michigan Staff
Via Evan Petzold, Central Michigan’s tight ends coach is leaving Mount Pleasant for Ann Arbor, probably for the same or similar position once the staff shakes out:

Moore was also CMU’s assistant head coach and recruiting coordinator last year. He’s young, like young enough that he’s in the recruiting databases as a player (he played offensive guard for Oklahoma from 2006-’07). Moore was a grad assistant with Louisville, where he got his master’s degree and first two years of TE coaching in, then joined Dan Enos at CMU in 2013.
CMU’s athletic department posted a mic’d up video of him last spring if you can glean things from clips of a guy coaching:
For those not keeping an assistant coach scorecard on them, here’s the offseason so far:
- OUT: Greg Frey (OTs/TEs), Brian Smith (safeties)
- IN: Dan Enos (OC), Al Washington (DL/LB), Sherrone Moore (TEs)
The “IN” guys have their previous positions given because jobs haven’t been handed out yet. With the 10th assistant position everyone gets this year Michigan could be done after some shuffling, though Pep/Enos/Drevno would be a lot of OCs for one kitchen.

Welcome to Michigan, Coach Moore!
January 12th, 2018 at 9:06 AM ^
Has nobody made a "My Sherrone" joke yet?
January 11th, 2018 at 9:57 PM ^
This is a good move. Young blood is necessary on this staff.
January 11th, 2018 at 9:59 PM ^
Just how did that, John Coltrane video make its appearance?
Has to be an interesting story.
January 11th, 2018 at 10:00 PM ^
IIRC CMU had a tight end perform well this year, but dude's age suggests this is a 'crootin' hire.
January 11th, 2018 at 10:12 PM ^
Ty Conklin (NNTTC). I think he was injured at the beginning of the season but had a pretty strong year.
January 12th, 2018 at 8:43 AM ^
Who would have thought that a goalie from UNH in the late 90s would get the "no, not that Ty Conklin" treatment?
January 14th, 2018 at 6:56 PM ^
Conklin is famous for being an outdoor game wizard as well as plumber (https://youtu.be/Y7kJccEEUm4)
January 11th, 2018 at 10:00 PM ^
Seems to be very technically sound.
January 11th, 2018 at 10:01 PM ^
Welcome & Go Blue!
January 11th, 2018 at 10:02 PM ^
Welcome to Michigan Coach Moore! Hopefully our TEs block better next year. While our TEs weren't bad this year, we regressed from years past. Had too many missed blocks and dropped passes.
January 12th, 2018 at 9:14 AM ^
Huge regression in TE's taking handoffs also.

Interesting to see Jay Harbaugh on there too. Kind of an interesting list, with not a lot of big name school coaches on there.
January 12th, 2018 at 2:14 AM ^
I don't know how much stock to put in those lists. Making it seems to be mostly "is under 35" plus "is coaching something you've heard of."
January 11th, 2018 at 10:06 PM ^
Never heard that before for football. An absolute basketball move.
January 12th, 2018 at 7:56 AM ^
Right after the last play of the NC the announcers did a great breakdown of how Tua late looked on the safety of “sold with his eyes” he was throwing one way then threw another. Throughtout the season announcers also frequently broke down when JOK did not sell play with his eyes and instead stared his receivers down. It’s a very similar concept for WR/TE
January 11th, 2018 at 10:07 PM ^
that was quite the call by whoever made that baseless speculation thread based off of 3 Twitter follows.
January 11th, 2018 at 10:15 PM ^
Yeah. Sam confirmed it yesterday evening.
January 11th, 2018 at 10:26 PM ^
Gut feeling
January 12th, 2018 at 12:49 AM ^
I'm heading to Vegas
January 11th, 2018 at 10:36 PM ^
lot of OCs for one kitchen.
I'd like some grilled steak next season, not the roadkill soup again.
Hopefully the offense is rare and not well done/burnt.
January 12th, 2018 at 7:17 AM ^
I hope the offense is done well.
January 11th, 2018 at 10:46 PM ^
I don’t think we are done with adjusting staff. I think 1 at least, and less likely but maybe 2 more moves happen before feb 1st.
January 11th, 2018 at 10:47 PM ^
Thanks for including that vid Seth

Pass game coordinator/ wr’s coach—Enos
Running game coordinator/ol coach—Drevno
Tight ends coach—Sherrone Moore
Running backs—Jay Harbaugh
If Pep stays he will be pass game coordinator and Enos will be wr’s coach. Other spot? RB coach and move Jay to special teams? Another full time qb coach?
January 11th, 2018 at 11:32 PM ^
Really hope they have Enos at QB / Passing game coordinator, and then go out and get a dedicated WR coach. This group is so young, they need a ton of individualized coaching up.
January 12th, 2018 at 12:15 AM ^
over?
January 12th, 2018 at 2:37 AM ^
My off-season wishlist has been 1. Replace pep.
2. Get a dedicated WR coach.
January 12th, 2018 at 10:34 AM ^
Just make enos the offensive coordinator and have drevno as ol coach (and run game coordinator if its needed) and pep as wr coach if they both stay. Jay as rb coach and moore as te coach.
January 11th, 2018 at 11:21 PM ^
MOAR Moore!
January 11th, 2018 at 11:32 PM ^
There was weird chemistry and dysfunction all season. I'm hoping these new guys can light a fire and get this program rolling fast down the tracks again.
January 12th, 2018 at 12:09 AM ^
Here's a question for the MGoCoaches: is it wise to have a separate pass game coordinator and run game coordinator? How is this an advantage from an all-around OC?
I'm only rethinking this because last year our passing game blew hot monkey balls...and our running game kinda didn't.
Does a position coach like Moore have to teach pass concepts that clash with our run concepts if there's two different people?
January 12th, 2018 at 3:03 AM ^
For me personally, I have always hated the run game / pass game coordinator split. On one hand, focusing solely on one facet of an offense lightens the load and allows for more in depth focus to take place. It is helpful while prepping game plans as well. However, I have always liked the sole OC approach better for play calling continuity purposes, game plan cohesion, and for individual coaching methodology. Having two guys run an offense undoubtedly leads to multiple opinions on how certain things should be taught. I really hope Harbaugh dumps Pep, demotes Drevno, and goes out to land a high level college OC. But knowing Harbaugh, I won't hold my breath.
January 12th, 2018 at 12:15 AM ^
Jon--We've got this realy great coach, Pep Hamilton, and he has our quarterbacks playing fast and loose and totally confident and ready for anything. You got your Vince Lombardi and then there's Pep Hamilton right up there in that same categroy.
We sure hope you don't hire him to work with you at the Raiders, because that would gaurantee your trip to the Super Bowl next year, and we would just like totally miss him for sure.
January 12th, 2018 at 2:44 AM ^
There's no way Gruden is taking him the Raiders have an OC and QB coach in Greg Olsen / Gruden himself. Pep could do a lower role or something, and I certainly hope his useless ass leaves our program.
January 12th, 2018 at 6:16 AM ^
I must have gotten the wrong idea. I thought pep leaving was a done deal. crap
January 12th, 2018 at 12:19 AM ^
Nice resume. Great recruiter. Let’s keep the state of Michigan’s best players home. Need coach Devin Bush Sr., for Florida. SEC look out...Big Ten’s sleeping giant is getting up to strike hard with stamina.
January 12th, 2018 at 12:22 AM ^
Your post confused me but, "hell yes" anyway.
January 12th, 2018 at 12:25 AM ^
Glad Harbaugh got him to UM. I'd still like to see a good OC hire. Will not be impressed if Drevno is making up most ot the plays that Harbaugh will be calling. We need to be more creative with passing game to open up the run.
January 12th, 2018 at 2:42 AM ^
I think we hired Enos to be that guy.
January 12th, 2018 at 8:39 AM ^
Agreed and this would seem to be an Enos hire...putting his offensive staff together.
January 12th, 2018 at 3:29 AM ^
Respect and kudos to the new guy in the family.
January 12th, 2018 at 7:26 AM ^
Your INS list Al Washington (DL/LB) but his contract that was reported says LB/ST, that is what Partridge is right now. Makes me think he is leaving.
January 12th, 2018 at 8:13 AM ^
I'm telling you, if we go into next year with the same offensive coaching setup, it will be very difficult for me to approach the season with anything other than dread and worse, a Henri Otter of ennui attitude
January 12th, 2018 at 8:40 AM ^
It's /s folks!
I hate when I hear this argument from people. Coach X should not be coaching the RB's 'cause he hasn't been a RB. Stupid.
January 12th, 2018 at 12:21 PM ^
Well, when it's the head coach's kid...and coaching and player development are more than just passing issues on the offensive side of the ball...???
I'm a big defender of Jim Harbaugh as a college football coach. However, here, I have an issue with him. I'm also "It's all about the players" and here they deserve better...because coaching is a huge difference-maker. At this point in time Michigan is on the outside looking in on the recruiting wars and superior coaching is their best (only?) shot at moving up that landscape.
January 12th, 2018 at 8:47 AM ^
So... is it too late in the game to actually go out and land a high profile OC? I would think that by now, Michigan's OC is on staff. for the folks saying go out and get one, I would think all the great available ones are taken, no?
January 12th, 2018 at 9:18 AM ^
that Harbaugh is in that kitchen, too.
January 13th, 2018 at 10:44 AM ^
Is this good? That we’re getting MAC coaches? He might be a great coach, but this is where we’re at? No super big time people want to come here?
