Sherron Moore during the championship parade: "I hope some day I can be called a Michigan man"
I know the parade was some weeks back, but thought this was touching.
Reporter: "And what does this university mean to you?"
Sherron: "Everything. Can't really put words into it. Love this place. Feels like I went to college here. Hope some day I can be called a Michigan man"
Welcome to the club. Bo didn't go to Michigan either!

He has his shot and his first big test will be at home against Texas.
January 27th, 2024 at 11:35 AM ^
Already one through and through in my book.
January 27th, 2024 at 1:40 PM ^
Absolutely agree. Silly to suggest he isn’t already a Michigan Man.
Also, here’s a hilarious shot from the parade:
January 27th, 2024 at 11:40 AM ^
Well, I hope he can understand a Texas rivalry!
January 27th, 2024 at 11:50 AM ^
Beat PSU and OSU already
pretty good start in my book
January 27th, 2024 at 1:34 PM ^
If beating OSU doesn’t make you a Michigan man then nothing does
January 27th, 2024 at 11:31 AM ^
You have been for a while now, Coach!
January 27th, 2024 at 12:31 PM ^
My first thought exactly after reading the thread title.
January 27th, 2024 at 11:36 AM ^
he will do a very good job. We will miss harbaugh For a million reasons we could all articulate, but I see moore as a dynamic coach.
January 27th, 2024 at 12:15 PM ^
Kinda feel like he may be a better recruiter than Harbaugh too. Doesn't have the NFL pedigree and name recognition like Harbaugh, but he's younger and the players seem to relate to him very well.
January 27th, 2024 at 2:42 PM ^
The same could have been said about Morgan Freeman at Notre Dame. Everyone was expecting him to be God.
January 27th, 2024 at 3:25 PM ^
Morgan Freeman IS God.
January 27th, 2024 at 11:38 AM ^
I like the video clip, after Sherrone speaks they turn to the crowd and the camera locks in on a ten year old kid wearing a “JJ FUCKING MCCARTHY” shirt. Hilarious.
January 27th, 2024 at 11:41 AM ^
No, no it's not.
January 27th, 2024 at 3:35 PM ^
T'is.
January 27th, 2024 at 2:42 PM ^
I think its funny.... to each their own.
January 27th, 2024 at 11:40 AM ^
To be a Michigan man, one has to know that the program will always be bigger that you. Given what Sherrone said in the presser, this will be about the players plus relying on his assistants for advice.
Sherrone is there, he IS a Michigan man.
Long may he prosper as Head Coach at Michigan.
January 27th, 2024 at 11:50 AM ^
You are already a Michigan Man coach Moore. Now it's time to try and become one of the best. Good luck sir!
Go Blue!
January 27th, 2024 at 12:04 PM ^
Sherrone kept Michigan playing at a super-high level under the most pressure-packed conditions put on a team in recent memory.
Relax, buddy, you are already admired as a Michigan Man, 100%.
January 27th, 2024 at 12:24 PM ^
You've earned it coach.
January 27th, 2024 at 12:30 PM ^
We can already call him a Michigan Man.
January 27th, 2024 at 12:41 PM ^
Coach is already a Michigan Man. "I don't want someone from Arizona State coaching the Michigan team. A Michigan Man will coach Michigan!" At some point the media twisted the entire Michigan Man quote. It had nothing to do with playing at Michigan or graduating from Michigan. Even the person he was talking about, Steve Fisher, never played or went to school at Michigan.
January 27th, 2024 at 1:18 PM ^
1000%. This misinterpretation of Bo's phrase has always driven me crazy. Never did Bo suggest that a coach had to be from Michigan, but he very much meant that Michigan isn't like other places and that the role requires something special. Coach Moore gets that, has walked the walk, and seems to already have a deep appreciation and love for Michigan and his team. He's every bit a Michigan Man.
January 27th, 2024 at 3:05 PM ^
That proclamation has been blown out of proportion over the years. There isn't an athletic director in America who would have let Bill Frieder get away what what he was trying to do. When you accept another job with a competitor, you leave right away. Go assume your new role. Even sticking around to coach a bowl game has come to be frowned upon, let alone a four week tournament.
January 27th, 2024 at 12:43 PM ^
Someday??
January 27th, 2024 at 1:35 PM ^
Someday? Bro you earned that title, at the latest, when you won two consecutive Joe Moore Awards
January 27th, 2024 at 2:37 PM ^
He already is a Michigan man in my opinion.
January 27th, 2024 at 2:44 PM ^
Sherrone should switch to the skinny 'M' hat now that he's head coach.
January 27th, 2024 at 2:59 PM ^
That day has arrived, coach.
January 27th, 2024 at 3:09 PM ^
Duuude, Sherrone you were a Michigan man years ago. Go crush it.
January 27th, 2024 at 3:27 PM ^
Sherrone Moore IS a Michigan Man right now, today.
January 27th, 2024 at 4:21 PM ^
Decidedly different response from the last time a coach said that
January 27th, 2024 at 8:03 PM ^
Thought just crossed my mind: does "who's got it better than us" no longer apply, is that a Harbaugh thing, or will it continue post JimH?
