Massive Police Error Could Reportedly Save Ex-Michigan HC Sherrone Moore According To Judge​

February 18, 2026, 9:52am EST 1 • By Darrelle Lincoln



It has been a while since Sherrone Moore has gotten a victory, but he may have just received one in court. A judge on Tuesday granted a request for a hearing to learn more about an investigation that led to charges against him.


The former University of Michigan football coach was arrested soon after he was fired for a relationship with his executive assistant. He is defending him against charges of felony home invasion, stalking, and illegal entry.

Prosecutors said Moore is accused of grabbing butter knives and a pair of kitchen scissors. He then threatened to kill himself at the house of the woman with whom he reportedly had a relationship.


Now, a Washtenaw County judge has ruled in favor of a hearing that will likely help Sherrone Moore and his lawyer. His legal team is aiming to dismiss criminal charges tied to what happened inside the apartment of a woman with whom he had a roughly two-year affair.

Judge J. Cedric Simpson expressed concern on Tuesday over how a police detective didn’t disclose Moore’s employer-employee relationship with a woman. It was called a “glaring omission” when a magistrate authorized a warrant for his arrest.




“Defendant’s due process may have been violated,” Simpson said. Moore still faces the three criminal charges. However, Simpson said he was “very worried” that law enforcement had not indicated that the woman worked for Moore. That also didn’t include other comments her lawyer made to police, alleging sweeping misconduct by Moore in securing charges from a magistrate.

“What worries me is the magistrate did not get that opportunity [to hear more information],” Simpson said, per The Detroit Free Press.
“And if the magistrate didn’t get that opportunity, that means what the people got may not have been a validly sworn out complaint…and that the defendant’s due process rights may have been violated. That’s my problem, or my concern.”
The woman ended the relationship a few days before Sherrone Moore’s firing. She allegedly refused to answer a dozen of his calls or respond to any of his text messages before his dismissal. His behavior eventually led her to reveal the relationship to the school.

“Judge Simpson got it right in this motion, and due process matters,” Ellen Michaels, Moore’s lawyer, said after the hearing.



Moore coached the Wolverines for two seasons as the successor to Jim Harbaugh.
 

From five-star phenom to back-to-back arrests in just three weeks.
A career once defined by promise is now facing serious questions.
Arik Gilbert, the former Gatorade National Player of the Year now on Nebraska’s roster, has been arrested again — this time in Georgia on burglary and obstruction charges. Just days earlier, he had been detained in Nebraska after police say he was found leaving a store with stolen merchandise following a late-night break-in. Once considered one of the nation’s top tight end prospects after standout time at LSU and Georgia, Gilbert is now awaiting both court proceedings and an NCAA eligibility decision.
For a 21-year-old with NFL-level talent, the next chapter may be shaped less by touchdowns — and more by what happens in a courtroom.
