Michigan Wolverines eye Kyle Whittingham as next head coach; check details

Kyle Whittingham, longtime Utah Utes coach, has become the primary focus of the University of Michigan's head coaching search. Notably, this is a significant development for one of college football's premier programs.

Michigan abruptly fired Sherrone Moore on December 10, 2025, after a university investigation uncovered "credible evidence" of an inappropriate relationship with a staff member. Moore, who compiled a 16-8 record over two seasons following Jim Harbaugh's departure, faced additional legal issues shortly after.

Former coach Sherrone Moore's tenure ended amid controversy, leaving the Wolverines seeking stability.
