Breaking: Michigan Wolverines Head Coach Sherrone Moore Named AP Men’s Football Coach of the Year for the Third Straight Year
In a historic and unprecedented achievement, Michigan Wolverines head coach Sherrone Moore has been named the Associated Press (AP) Men’s Football Coach of the Year for the third consecutive year. This honor solidifies Moore’s status as one of college football’s most respected and successful coaches in recent memory, as he continues to build an elite legacy at the helm of the Wolverines program.
Moore took over full-time head coaching duties after previously serving as offensive coordinator and interim head coach during pivotal games in the 2023 season. Under his leadership, Michigan has not only maintained its position as a national powerhouse but also elevated its standard of excellence both on and off the field. His coaching tenure has been defined by consistency, innovation, and a strong team culture centered around discipline and resilience.
In the 2024 season, Moore guided Michigan to a flawless regular-season record, a Big Ten Championship, and a return to the College Football Playoff. His ability to keep the team focused through adversity — including injuries, high expectations, and intense rivalries — has been widely praised by analysts and former players alike. What sets Moore apart is his adaptability and mastery in developing both veteran leaders and young talent into one cohesive, dominant unit.
His offensive schemes have continued to evolve, combining a powerful ground game with creative passing strategies, all while emphasizing fundamentals and physicality. Defensively, the Wolverines under Moore have remained among the top units in the nation, thanks to a collaborative coaching environment and relentless player development. Moore has also been a strong advocate for student-athlete mental health and academic achievement, earning respect far beyond the football field.
Perhaps most impressively, Moore’s coaching style is rooted in humility and a player-first philosophy. His connection with the team is evident — players routinely speak of his honesty, accountability, and passion for the game. This deep trust has translated to remarkable on-field execution and a locker room culture that consistently produces leaders.
Winning the AP Coach of the Year three times in a row is nearly unheard of in the modern era, and Moore’s feat puts him in rare company. It underscores not only his individual brilliance but also the long-term vision and stability he has brought to the Michigan football program. While others come and go, Moore’s presence has become a symbol of continuity and excellence in Ann Arbor.
As Michigan looks ahead to another title run and continues to dominate recruiting rankings, Sherrone Moore’s impact on the program — and on college football as a whole — is only growing. With each passing season, he’s rewriting the narrative of what sustained success looks like at the highest level of the sport.
His third straight AP Coach of the Year award is a testament not just to wins and trophies, but to leadership, integrity, and the power of belief — in a team, a vision, and a future shaped by dedication and grit.
