As the Los Angeles Chargers (9-4) prepare for their crucial Week 15 matchup against their AFC West division rival Kansas City Chiefs (6-7) from GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday, Dec. 14, Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh delivered a brief reaction when questioned during his Friday media appearance about former Michigan football coach Sherrone Moore’s firing and arrest.
“I’m still processing that,” Harbaugh said. “Still processing that like a lot of people, I’m sure.”
Harbaugh coached the Wolverines to an 86-25 overall record in nine seasons in Ann Arbor, Mich., including an undefeated 2023 National Championship-winning campaign. Harbaugh also starred at quarterback for Michigan under College Football Hall of Fame head coach Bo Schembechler from 1982-86, during which he collected numerous honors, including third place in the Heisman Trophy voting in 1986.
Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh is lifted off the ground by offensive coordinator Sherrone Moore after Michigan won the College Football Playoff national championship game against Washington at NRG Stadium in Houston on Monday, Jan. 8, 2024.
As reported by the Detroit Free Press, along with numerous other local, regional, and national news outlets, the University of Michigan fired Moore “for cause” on Wednesday afternoon following credible evidence being presented to the university and its Board of Regents that he engaged in an inappropriate relationship with a staff member.

Moore was arrested just a few hours after his dismissal and placed in custody at the Washtenaw County Jail in Michigan as part of what police called an assault investigation.
According to court documents released on Friday, Dec. 12, Moore faces criminal allegations of felony third-degree home invasion, misdemeanor stalking-domestic relationship, and misdemeanor breaking and entering.
Moore had spent eight seasons at Michigan, including six years on Harbaugh’s staff in various assistant coaching/coordinator roles. Following Harbaugh’s acceptance of the Chargers’ head coaching job, Moore was hired a few weeks later after earning the recommendation from Harbaugh to be the next Wolverines’ head coach.
While this certainly has no impact on the Chargers’ ability to claim victory over the Chiefs on Sunday, it is notable to hear Harbaugh’s reaction to the fast-moving, chaotic events in Ann Arbor on Thursday.
