Sherrone Moore 'significant favorite' to be next Michigan football coach, per report
Former OU football player Sherrone Moore "is the significant favorite" to replace Jim Harbaugh as Michigan football head coach, according to a report Wednesday night from Yahoo! Sports.
The 37-year-old Moore — who played offensive guard for Bob Stoops' Sooners in 2006-07 — just finished his sixth season on Michigan's coaching staff, serving as interim coach for four games this season for the national champion Wolverines.
Harbaugh, 60, is leaving Michigan after nine seasons to return to the NFL as head coach of the Los Angeles Chargers. Harbaugh went 86-25 overall at his alma mater, leading the Wolverines to the past three Big Ten championships, as well as their first national title since 1997.
