Michigan Wolverines football's Sherrone Moore ranks near bottom of CBS Sports' rankings of Big Ten, Power 4 head coaches heading into 2024 season
There was massive change to the coaching landscape throughout football last season, and Michigan was one of the headliners on that front as head coachafter all the dust settled from a wild coaching carousal. It's fair to say that the voters in CBS' poll are taking a wait-and-see approach to Moore as a first-time head coach. The 38-year-old comes in at No. 52 out of 68 coaches, which places him at No. 15 among Big Ten head coaches.
"We don't typically see first-year coaches start this high in the rankings, but Moore isn't your typical first-year coach. He served four games as head coach last season thanks to Jim Harbaugh's various transgressions and won them all, including victories against Penn State and Ohio State. Plenty of coaches are ranked ahead of him without wins that impressive, but it'll be interesting to see how Moore performs as captain of a ship coming off a national title.
Moore will have every opportunity to prove himself at Michigan. He inherited one of the top programs in the country, but also had to make several tough hires after nearly all of the Wolverines' defensive coaches followed Harbaugh to Los Angeles.
It's too early to tell the caliber of head coach Moore will be at Michigan, but after leading the Wolverines to four victories in four tries as interim head coach a season ago, including those wins over Penn State and Ohio State, there's plenty of reason for optimism in Ann Arbor.
