Breaking News: ESPN grades Sherrone Moore’s first year as head coach at Michigan football…….

Sherrone Moore’s first year as head coach at Michigan football has been graded by ESPN, and the verdict is in: a solid B- ¹. Moore took the reins after Jim Harbaugh’s departure and led the Wolverines to an 8-5 record, including a thrilling win over No. 11 Alabama in the ReliaQuest Bowl.

ESPN’s Adam Rittenberg praised Moore’s ability to navigate a challenging season, despite significant talent losses to the NFL draft and transfer portal ¹. Michigan’s quarterback situation was also a concern, with three different players seeing significant time under center. However, Moore’s resilience and adaptability helped the team finish strong, with wins over Ohio State and Alabama ¹.

Rittenberg noted that Moore’s biggest challenge was adjusting to his new role as head coach, but he demonstrated potential and promise in his first season ². With a B+ grade initially given by Rittenberg when Moore was hired, the B- grade after his first season reflects a decent, if not spectacular, debut ².

Looking ahead, Michigan fans have reason to be optimistic, with top prospect Bryce Underwood joining the team at quarterback ¹. With a year of experience under his belt, Moore will aim to build on his promising start and lead the Wolverines to even greater heights in the 2025 season.
