‘Sherrone Moore has to be a head coach next year’: Media raves about interim HC after Michigan beats Ohio State

Sherrone Moore is building quite the resume as an interim head coach. Moore is now 4-0 in Jim Harbaugh’s absence, with the most recent win being his biggest yet.

Moore was acting head coach for No. 3 Michigan’s 30-24 win over No. 2 Ohio State. It’s his second top-10 win, having also guided U-M on the road against a Penn State squad that was ranked No. 10 at the time.

As expected, college football media members had high praise for Moore. Many expect to see Moore as a head coach somewhere in 2024. There were mentions of Moore being the Big Ten Coach of the Year.

Here’s a sample of what’s being said on X, formerly Twitter:

Michigan interim coach Sherrone Moore won the chess match against both Ryan Day and James Franklin this season.

Regardless of what happens with Jim Harbaugh, Sherrone Moore is one impressive coach who should absolutely receive HC consideration from UM or another big time program. Completely out coached Ryan Day

Harbaugh’s suspension is complete, meaning he will return to the sidelines for the B1G Championship Game against Iowa.
