After Jim Harbaugh ultimately left Ann Arbor for the NFL, Michigan is in the midst of a significant shift as the 2024 season begins. After teasing pro prospects for at least the last three offseasons, Harbaugh will be the head coach of the Los Angeles Chargers this season.
Sherrone Moore, the offensive coordinator and offensive line coach, has taken his place. Moore seemed to fill in as Harbaugh’s kind of understudy during the four games this season that he led the Wolverines, including victories over Penn State and Ohio State.
Moore has spent February filling out his staff and is now looking to focus on continuing the momentum off of three consecutive Big Ten Championships and a National Championship.
“I have been preparing my entire coaching career for this opportunity and I can’t think of a better place to be head coach than at the University of Michigan,” Moore said at his introductory press conference.
“We will do everything each day as a TEAM to continue the legacy of championship football that has been played at Michigan for the past 144 years.
Our standards will not change. We will be a smart, tough, dependable, relentless, and enthusiastic championship-level team that loves football and plays with passion for the game, the winged helmet and each other.
We will also continue to achieve excellence off the field, in the classroom and in our communities. I am excited to start working in this new role with our players, coaches and staff.”
The Wolverines face a difficult schedule in 2024 as they will host Texas, Oregon and USC while traveling to Washington and Ohio State among others.
