Michigan Wolverines running back Jordan Marshall is addressing the situation surrounding former head coach Sherrone Moore.
Moore allegedly had an inappropriate relationship with a female staffer at Michigan and went to her home and tried to break in. Moore was charged with home invasion in the third degree, stalking and breaking, and his eventual plea deal still saw him plead no contest to malicious use of a telecommunications device in the context of a domestic relationship and trespassing.
Recently speaking on “the Big Moe” podcast, Marshall, a rising junior who was recruited by Moore, also suggested that there are some complex feelings surrounding this case.
Moore made many mistakes in his personal and professional lives. There are still players who called him “coach,” though.
“I mean, it was hard, like, I’m not gonna lie, I did stand by coach Moore, and I’ll still tell people today he’s a great coach,” Marshall said on the podcast (h/t On3). “I truly believe that he made a mistake, and people make mistakes. I’ve made mistakes. You’ve made mistakes. People here made mistakes. I’ve always been taught by my mom (that) one mistake doesn’t make somebody. For me, it was hard just realizing because I’m getting bashed because I stuck by somebody that I trusted and that I truly loved.”
