Michigan head coach Sharon Moore took over for Jim Harball
when Jim Harball left to go to the Chargers, Go Chargers.
When all that happened, people on Harball's staff there were
a couple of guys who got caught for stealing signs
and Sharon Moore had to wear that and get suspended

(01:13):
for the first two games of this season. But he
became a fan favorite, gets signed to a five year
deal because they beat Ohio State last year, beat them badly.

Speaker 2 (01:23):
Is that the one where he was on the field crying.
He goes, we did this for you, Harball.

Speaker 3 (01:26):
Yeah, did that and they planted the flag in the
middle of the Ohio State and then Ohio State came
into Michigan this year and stopped them.

Speaker 1 (01:34):
Just kind of fun in your face.

Speaker 3 (01:35):
So Searon Moore was fired yesterday for having an inappropriate
relationship with a staff member, and then it took a
dark turn later in the day because he was detained
by police. Police were called to the address of a
female Michigan football staffer at four ten pm as part
of an alleged assault investigation CORAP now the Universe. The

(02:00):
investigation said that they found credible evidence that coach Moore
had engaged in an inappropriate relationship with the staff member.

Speaker 2 (02:07):
We don't know more than that.

Speaker 3 (02:08):
Immediately speculation on lines I was in an underage person.
I don't think it is. I think it was someone
who worked there at the school and had a job,
but probably college age.

Speaker 1 (02:16):
It would be unlikely that an underage person is working
out of college.

Speaker 2 (02:21):
Right, Yeah, that's the that's the thing.

Speaker 1 (02:22):
How'd that minor get that job here at the football program?

Speaker 3 (02:26):
And this this is that's all we know for sure. Yeah, okay,
I mean there's a little bit more, but it's not specific.
The speculation is wild and unsubstantiated. And but the rumors
out there swirling around this involve potential pregnancy, potential abortion,
potentially a staff member getting their salary doubled. I mean, uh,

(02:51):
you know, like, and it's.

Speaker 1 (02:53):
Pretty pretty normal Patrino stuff. Patrios had people on his
staff there for sex college football, Yeah, getting motorcycle wrecks
with him. So tim Z Sports does have some dispatch
audio that they've gotten. I'm not gonna play it, but
basically there's a woman claiming that he attacked her at

(03:13):
her home yesterday, like during the hours that the world's
learning out that he got fired, and so that he
had been stalking her for months. Oh god, So is
the relationship inappropriate because of the type of sex they
were having.

Speaker 3 (03:29):
I think Michigan's got some rules on that you can't
be dating people that work.

Speaker 2 (03:32):
There, and most most companies do. And there's other unsubstantiated
rumors that I'm not reporting that. I'll just say that
I've heard out there whispers and murmurs about you know,
there was one report that maybe he had told his
wife that he was going to take his own life,
and then there was another report that he went over
to this other staffer's house and held a knife to

(03:54):
his neck and said he was going to take his
own life there and maybe hers. I don't know exactly
what I don't I don't know what's real and what's
not real. But I know that he was fired and
then later his mugshot appeared.

Speaker 3 (04:05):
Yeah, he's in jail, and we also don't know, like TMZ,
the latest that I have for them is that this
we're still not clear if the woman that called nine
one one because he broke into her house is that staffer.
It's just it's pretty easy to go it is her,
but it's just not The details are not out yet.

Speaker 1 (04:26):
Could have been the offensive coordinator he was with some
of the schemes this year.

Speaker 2 (04:29):
But that this the woman who was the staffer, the
alleged one who had the affair and then had her
salary doubled and may or may not have had an abortion.
The person that they think it is immediately made all
their social media private. Yesterday.

Speaker 3 (04:46):
It also said that in that dispatch audio a report
has made that the suspect's wife said he is suicidal.
So his wife who he had, I mean, I don't
know if she had known about the affair or not either.
You know, maybe she'd known for a while, maybe she hadn't.

Speaker 1 (05:04):
I think, like, once you're you know, let go because
of an affair. It's kind of hard to hide that
from the family.

Speaker 3 (05:09):
And did say that he had a knife. So he's
currently in jail. He's going to go before a judge tomorrow.
I mean, this makes you wonder if any more information
will come out tonight.

Speaker 2 (05:21):
As his life is spiraling and he's losing his family
and all that and losing his job. Didn't have to
also go get a charge?

Speaker 1 (05:30):
Yeah, you know what you got to do in that situation.
Whenever you're whenever it's all crumbling down, there's the affair,
there's the getting fired. There's all that stuff, and you're
a coach. You're thinking, oh my god, it's all over.
There's one simple thing that you have to remember, Dave Bliss.
You know, just remember, man, Dave Bliss got another job

(05:53):
after all that. I mean, he was trying to cover
up a murder of one of his players, and then
later got hired at a Christian college. I'm good. I
beat Ohio State last year. I just got to get
through these next eighteen months and I'll pop up at
a lesser school. Yeah, they all hire us back, you could.
We should all remember that as we move forward with
our day to day life. Remember Dave Blizz. Remember Dave

(06:14):
Blizz what he can do for you.

Speaker 2 (06:16):
All right? Coming up next, Christina, where are you gonna
take us the Cookie Jar?

Speaker 1 (06:19):
We're gonna play the Synonym Game Movie Edition next.

Speaker 2 (06:22):
Yes,
