Michigan head football coach Sherrone Moore had the backing of Jim Harbaugh, the Wolverines' players and the fanbase as the new leader of the program
Michigan could have conducted a national search, brought in a hiring agency and vetted several candidates as its next head football coach — but it wasn't necessary.
"He said, 'You're going to be the next head coach at Michigan.' I was like, 'What?' He said, 'I'm going to put it in my contract that if I ever leave or go somewhere that you're the next head coach at Michigan.' And he told me that at the beginning of the year." "I just thought about that and I was like, 'This man who is a legendary coach, who's done it all and we have a chance this year to make a special run, is telling me I'm going to be the next head coach here,'" Moore said. "What does that mean? It means I've got to work my tail off for this man. He trusted me and this offense to do everything possible to help him and this team win. So, I just worked as hard as I could this year.
"When I got here seven years ago, I just wanted to be the best tight ends coach I could be," Moore said. "That's it. At some point I wanted to call plays, I got a chance to do that with our young guys, the opportunity to be the head coach here was really not in my mind."
