It appeared to be a formality; the only question was when, not if.
Though many national pundits put together lists of potential Michigan football head coaches, including LSU‘s Brian Kelly, Kansas’ Lance Leipold, and Kansas State’s Chris Kleiman, there was really only one option for the Wolverines: offensive coordinator Sherrone Moore.
Moore had been groomed by former head coach Jim Harbaugh to replace him once he departed the program, and he enters the head job with a win over Ohio State. He’ll maintain continuity and stability for the national championship-winning program.
Naturally, social media reactions overtook X (formerly Twitter) upon hearing the news of Moore’s promotion. From current and former Michigan players to signees, to media types, there was a wave of positive reactions and celebration that Moore ended up being the man for the job.
