Jim Harbaugh was asked Friday about his successor’s Michigan football scandal and said he still hasn’t dealt with it.
Sherrone Moore, Harbaugh’s offensive coordinator before accepting the head coaching job after Harbaugh left Michigan in 2024 to lead the Los Angeles Chargers, was fired Wednesday before being arrested and charged with home invasion, stalking and breaking and entering.
During a Chargers press conference Friday, Harbaugh was asked about his reaction to the Moore situation.

“Processing. I heard that. Chad Jessop told me, one of our equipment guys, when we were leaving the field on Thursday. So… it’s uh… I’m still processing it like a lot of people, I’m sure.”
Moore joined Harbaugh’s staff as tight end coach in 2018 before becoming offensive coordinator by 2023. That year, Moore also served as interim head coach while Harbaugh was suspended twice, leading Michigan to a 4-0 record in Harbaugh’s absence. Michigan won the national championship against Washington that year.
Harbaugh left the program to return to the NFL and Moore was promoted to become the first black head coach in Michigan football history.
Today, Moore is unemployed and at the center of one of the biggest college sports scandals of the year.
After Moore’s firing Wednesday, the university announced it found credible evidence of an “inappropriate relationship” with a staff member. Moore was then detained by police Wednesday, after the announcement of his dismissal.

Moore was arraigned Friday on charges of stalking and home invasion. According to prosecutors, he faces a felony charge third-degree home invasion and two misdemeanor charges of stalking and breaking and entering.
Both misdemeanor charges are related to a “domestic relationship.”
Prosecutors accused Moore of contacting the staffer by phone and text after the breakup, prompting the victim to contact the University of Michigan and cooperate with its investigation. Moore was later fired from his job as head football coach, which prosecutors say prompted him to show up at the woman’s home.
Moore allegedly “barged” into the residence, grabbed a butter knife and a pair of kitchen scissors and began threatening suicide. According to prosecutors, Moore told the staffer, “My blood is on your hands” and “You have ruined my life.”
Prosecutors said Moore “terrorized” the staffer and that they believed he posed a “risk to public safety.”
