Watch: Michigan interim coach gets emotional in postgame interview

By Eric Smithling | Last updated 11/11/23

Interim head coach Sherrone Moore was emotional following Michigan's 24-15 win over Penn State, thanking God, Jim Harbaugh and "these f---in' guys" (i.e. his players) in an interview that will likely make the Federal Communications Commission richer.

"Coach Harbaugh... I love the sh*t out of you man. I did this for you!"

Fighting back tears because of the traumatic experience of having Harbaugh face consequences for the team's actions, Moore said, "I want to thank the Lord, I want to thank coach Harbaugh. I f---in' love you, man. Love the s--- out of you, man. This is for you."

Harbaugh was suspended by Big Ten commissioner Tony Petitti on Friday for the remainder of the regular season after the NCAA discovered former staffer Connor Stalions engaged in an illegal sign-stealing scheme.

The university filed a temporary restraining order to prevent Harbaugh's suspension, but a hearing on the matter won't be held until Nov. 17, per ESPN's Pete Thamel.

While Harbaugh has not been alleged to have prior knowledge of the scheme, head coaches are always responsible for what happens under their watch.

We can't fault Moore for being emotional after a hard-fought win, but to act like Harbaugh is a martyr is absurd. The victim complex in Ann Arbor is getting out of hand, and it doesn't seem like it will slow down anytime soon.
