ESPN News Services Jan 27, 2024, 03:14 PM ET Michigan is giving Sherrone Moore a shot, hoping he can sustain at least some of the success Jim Harbaugh had toward the end of his nine-season run with college football's winningest program. Moore has been regarded as a rising star in recent years. He started his coaching career in 2009 as a graduate assistant at Louisville, where he was later promoted to coach tight ends. He left Louisville to lead Central Michigan's tight ends in 2014 and Harbaugh hired him in 2018 to coach at the same position. Moore said it was humbling to know that Harbaugh and players made it clear he was their choice. While stretching with the Sooners entering his senior season, Moore watched as coaches communicated with players, whose lives were shaped by those leaders, and saw his future in the profession. Moore has been a finalist for the Broyles Award. He is also serving a one-game suspension during the 2023 season related to an NCAA recruiting infractions case.

Deceptions

  • The article mentions that Moore is a finalist for the Broyles Award, but there are no details provided on what this award means or why it's relevant to his hiring as head coach. This omission makes it seem like Moore has achieved something significant and important without providing any context.
