Sherrone Moore was the obvious choice to succeed Jim Harbaugh as head coach of the Michigan Wolverines after he decided to leave Ann Arbor for sunny Southern California.
It took less than 48 hours for the announcement to be made, and most fans agreed that Moore was ready for the next step, having led the team to four victories in his interim role during the 2023 championship season, two of which came against Ohio State and Penn State, the two most significant games of the regular season. While there are many reasons to be excited about Moore’s appointment as head coach, there are still some things we need to know about what lies ahead for Michigan.
We have concerns regarding Moore replacing Harbaugh.
Everyone is curious to know the answer to this. The majority of the staff expressed their happiness on social media when Moore was named head coach on Friday. That is undoubtedly very encouraging for the future.
In addition, Moore expressed his desire to retain the majority of the current staff, which makes sense considering the national title they helped Ann Arbor win. Maintaining this current roster will also depend on it, as new players won’t be able to influence the players’ leaders.
Moore mentioned wanting to retain Ben Herbert, the team’s strength and conditioning coach, during his opening press conference. Harbaugh never stops commended Herbert for the results he consistently achieved from the players, so Moore may have him as his top priority.
Moore will also need to appoint a defensive coordinator and perhaps a coach for the linebackers. Although it’s not official yet, rumors have it that Jesse Minter is leaving to join the Chargers as Jim Harbaugh’s defensive coordinator in Los Angeles. Moore will undoubtedly be busy for the foreseeable future in this capacity as head coach.
2) Did Moore or the team contribute more to the 2023 success?
This was the first thing I wondered about when Moore’s hiring was announced. In 2024, Moore will take the helm as head coach for the first time, leading the current national champions.
which, in contrast to the team that just won everything, will appear very different.
Moore deserves a lot of credit for leading the team to victories over Ohio State and Penn State, but that team believed they would win the national championship. A few players came back just for that.
How will this team handle hardship if most of those leaders are gone, along with the vast amount of talent that leaves? If Moore can maintain the team’s culture and mindset from 2023 into the upcoming season and beyond, that will be very interesting to watch.
