Former Michigan head coach Sherrone Moore will not serve jail time after accepting a plea deal related to a series of incidents following his dismissal from the university. Instead, he has been sentenced to 18 months of probation.

Moore pled no contest to misdemeanor charges of malicious use of a telecommunications device involving a domestic relationship and misdemeanor trespassing. The terms of his probation include random alcohol and drug testing, a prohibition on possessing weapons, and a requirement to continue mental health treatment.

The legal proceedings stem from events after Moore was fired with cause in December following an investigation into a romantic relationship with a former staffer. After his termination, Moore went to the staffer's residence, where he allegedly made threats of self-harm. These actions led to initial felony and misdemeanor charges, including third-degree home invasion and stalking, which were later reduced as part of the plea agreement.

During sentencing, Judge Cedric Simpson acknowledged Moore had previously been given access to the apartment but stated the coach "had no right to spread your pain to her." The judge also commended Moore's wife, Kelli, for bearing "an incredible burden." Moore's attorney stated the coach had "reset himself around his family" through counseling prior to the sentencing.

In a brief statement, Moore said he had taken the process seriously. As a condition of his probation, he is to have no contact with the former staffer. This legal resolution closes a difficult chapter for the coach, whose two-season tenure at Michigan saw the team go 18-8.
