The University of Michigan staff member who accused former head football coach Sherrone Moore of breaking into her apartment after revealing their affair is no longer an employee at the school.
The woman’s contract expired and was not renewed, University of Michigan football program spokesman Dave Ablauf told Us Weekly. TMZ Sports was first to report the news.
According to the Detroit Free Press, her contract expired on February 28.
Moore, 40, was fired as head football coach on December 10, 2025, after a university investigation uncovered an “inappropriate relationship” with the staff member.

After being fired, Moore allegedly broke into the woman’s apartment and threatened to harm her and himself.
“[The staff member] indicated that she was approximately 5 feet from the door when he made entry,” court records revealed. “She advised that she began backing up and as he was approaching her. [She] advised that Moore grabbed two knives out of her drawer and pointed them at her, ‘You ruined my life. You ruined my life.’”
After she managed to get her attorney on the phone, the woman claimed Moore “backed up and turned the knives on himself, pointing them at his neck, saying that he was going to kill himself and that she was going to watch.”
Shortly after, he allegedly fled her apartment and was later arrested in a nearby church parking lot.
Moore was charged with one count of third-degree felony home invasion, one count misdemeanor stalking related to a domestic relationship and one count misdemeanor breaking and entering on December 12.
The former coach has pleaded not guilty to all charges, but did admit to having an affair with the woman. Moore has been married to his wife, Kelli, since 2015 and the couple share three daughters.

Moore appeared in court on February 17, when he and his attorneys continued their push to have the charges against him dropped.
During the hearing, Judge J. Cedric Simpson granted a request for another hearing to learn more about the circumstances surrounding Moore’s arrest.
Simpson said it was “a glaring omission” that Moore’s previous relationship with the staff member was not disclosed by a police detective when a magistrate authorized a warrant for his arrest.
“Judge Simpson got it right in this motion and due process matters,” Moore’s attorney, Ellen Michaels, told reporters outside court with Moore by her side. “Coach Moore maintains his innocence and the truth will come out.”
