In the ever-evolving chess game, Michigan head coach Sherrone Moore seems not to be waiting for the pieces to move — he’s making his own. The impact of the House v NCAA settlement, which will allow schools to allocate up to 22% of their athletic revenue (approximately $20 million annually) to student-athletes starting in 2025, has created uncertainty over roster management and financial allocations of funds among recruits including elite talents like OT Andrew Babalola and CB Shamari Earls. Some programs might hit the panic button. But not Moore. Instead of retreating, he’s doubling down on stability within his coaching ranks.
Because that doesn’t stop Sherrone Moore from promoting Pernell McPhee outside of the linebackers coach. The former Baltimore Ravens standout, who spent last season as an assistant, now steps into a larger role after helping Michigan boast a top-10 defense nationally. 247Sports’ Matt Zenitz first broke the news on X today, confirming the Wolverines’ commitment to keeping defensive excellence intact.
