Michigan head coach Sherrone Moore is currently in a weird contractual spot as he opens his first year in the role.
Michigan athletic director Warde Manuel admitted on the “Conqur’ing Heroes” podcast that Moore and several of his assistants do not actually have formalized contracts. Instead, they are working under a memorandum of understanding, legal documents that are often used as stopgaps until a full contract can be negotiated.
“They are being worked on as we speak,” Manuel said, via Aaron McMann of MLive . “I’ve signed a couple of the assistant coaches (to contracts). We had not only a transition in football (but) we had a transition in basketball, we’re dealing with NCAA matters, we’re dealing with the situation with our apparel provider and bringing on Legends as shortly as Saturday. These things take time, the contracts.”
