In mid-October, a tipster had contacted the university first alleging that the football coach had conducted an inappropriate relationship with someone on his staff, according to a person familiar with the situation. The university opened an investigation but found no evidence to confirm the tip, since both Moore and the woman involved denied the relationship. Still, the university decided to hire an outside law firm to dig further into the matter. 

On Wednesday, the woman contacted the firm to say that she had, in fact, had a relationship with Moore for roughly two years until 2024, according to the person familiar. She added that there were email, text and phone records to prove it. 

Around mid-afternoon on Wednesday, Michigan athletic director Warde Manuel called Moore into his office for a meeting. Moore asked if he was being fired, the person said. Manuel said yes. Moore became visibly emotional and left.

Separately, Manuel gathered Michigan’s football players. They had known Moore as the leader of Michigan’s offense during its 2023 national championship season and the man who’d taken over as head coach after Jim Harbaugh left to coach in the NFL. Manuel told them that Moore had been fired.

He did put a knife to his throat,” a dispatcher said. The dispatcher added that the man “ran out.”

Just before 5 p.m., a dispatcher said that “S1,” referring to the man who left the Ann Arbor-Saline Road address, was at an unknown parking lot. “We are attempting to have wife contact him to try to come home,” a dispatcher says.

Police in nearby Saline assisted in detaining Moore, who was then turned over to Pittsfield Township authorities, according to a Saline official. By 8:30 p.m., Moore was booked into the Washtenaw County Jail in Ann Arbor, where he spent Wednesday and Thursday nights.
