Sherrone Moore is moving on from Ann Arbor in a very literal way.
The former Michigan head coach and his wife have put their Scio Township home on the market for $1.7 million, seven months after the school fired him. The 5,858-square-foot property sits on a half-acre lot and comes with a three-car garage, a pool, a chef-style kitchen, a pond and a hot tub. Built in 2005, the house also features hardwood floors and three fireplaces.
Moore bought the home in 2023 for $1.3 million, before he was named Michigan’s head coach in 2024. Renovations on the property reportedly ran about $300,000. Real estate agents expect strong interest because of the location.
Detroit News first reported the listing on July 23.
Moore’s exit from Michigan came after a university investigation into his conduct. He had been considered one of the sport’s rising young coaches and took over for Jim Harbaugh after Michigan’s 2023 championship season, but his run ended after two seasons.
Michigan fired Moore in December after an internal investigation found credible evidence of an inappropriate relationship involving a former staff member named Paige Shiver. Players reportedly noticed unusual behavior from Moore in the weeks before, and some had seen him near the staffer’s apartment late at night.
The university’s review was also costly. Michigan reportedly paid law firm Jenner & Block more than $11 million.
The findings said the athletic department wasn’t always transparent and that accountability slipped in handling certain situations. Michigan released a summary of those findings just last week, and the report stopped short of calling the misconduct widespread.
Moore also faced criminal charges tied to the same incident. He allegedly went to Shiver’s apartment the day he was let go.
He later pleaded no contest to two misdemeanor charges after prosecutors initially pursued more serious counts, including a felony that was later dropped as part of the plea deal. In April, a judge sentenced him to 18 months of probation.
After sentencing, his attorney, Ellen Michaels, said, “He and his wife, Kelli, are ready to move forward with their family.”
The home sale looks like part of that move forward. The listing does not mention Moore’s coaching career, and Michigan has already turned the page with new leadership in its athletic department.

Lions Training Camp Just Put Familiar Names On Notice
Training camp is about to give the Lions their first real roster audit of the summer, and the club has already laid out the full group of 90 players who will be in the mix. It is the usual camp blend of veterans, young depth pieces and position-by-position competition, with quarterbacks, skill players, linemen and defensive backs all headed into the same pressure cooker as the team starts sorting out who belongs.
For a roster that is still taking shape, the important part is not just who is on the field but who is fighting for more than a temporary look. Some players are there to get back on track, others are trying to stay in the conversation for the active roster or the 16-man practice squad, and familiar names will have to prove they still fit as camp begins this week.

Penei Sewell Just Added A New Twist To Lions Camp Buzz
Penei Sewell has spent his offseason getting ready for a move back to the left side, and the Lions All-Pro tackle sounded comfortable with the transition as camp chatter builds around the offensive line. He also weighed in on the competition around him, saying it is still too early to draw much from the battle involving Christian Mahogany, Tate Frazier and Trystan Bartch, while also noting he has not yet seen Bartch. Along the way, Sewell kept leaning into the broader leadership role that comes with being one of the anchors of Detroits front.
Sewell also offered a glimpse into the day-to-day side of camp life, including his impression of offensive coordinator Drew Petzing, whom he described as smart and fast-talking with a lot going on in his head. And before the football talk fully took over, Sewell was part of a fan event at Panda Express in Livonia, another reminder that around here even the biggest names on the roster can still end up as the face of a community stop between practice sessions and preseason buildup.

Lions Camp Opens With Major New Concerns In The Secondary
Training camp opened with an early hit to the Lions secondary depth, as Detroit placed safeties Brian Branch and Kerby Joseph on the Physically Unable to Perform list. Tight end Tyler Conklin also landed on PUP, leaving the team to sort through a few health questions right as practices begin and roster spots start to come into focus.
For a defense that has leaned on its back end in recent seasons, the timing matters. Branch is working back from a torn Achilles, Joseph is recovering from a knee injury, and the Lions may spend the preseason evaluating other options if those absences linger. That could push more attention onto the next wave of defensive backs in camp, with Detroit needing answers before the pace picks up and the real decisions start to narrow. [Read more 🡒]
