A new man is in charge of Michigan football as it begins its national title defense.
Sherrone Moore was promoted from offensive coordinator and offensive line coach to head coach just two days after Jim Harbaugh left the post to take the head coaching job for the Los Angeles Chargers.

He is the first full-time Black head coach in Michigan football history. Running backs coach Mike Hart became the first Black man to serve as head coach when he was the interim in the second half of U-M’s Week 2 win over UNLV last year, and Moore led the charge the following week against Bowling Green and to close the season.
