Charles Woodson, Michigan legend, put out a cryptic message after head coach Sherrone Moore was fired on December 10 for an ‘inappropriate relationship’ with a staffer who's yet to be identified. Moore was later detained in Saline, but the grounds for the same are not known at present.
“The City of Saline Police Department assisted in locating and detaining former University of Michigan football coach Sherrone Moore,” authorities told ESPN, adding that Moore had been handed over to the Pittsfield Township Police Department who'd be conducting investigations into potential charges against the 39-year-old.

“This conduct constitutes a clear violation of University policy, and U-M maintains zero tolerance for such behavior. Biff Poggi has been appointed head football coach in an interim capacity, effective immediately,” they added.

Others commented on Woodson's post, saying “Man he was out of pocket he learned today pro.” Another added, “Please o great one, come home and coach Michigan. Coach your son and Marcus Ray’s son too.” Yet another commented, “An understatement.”
While many fans seem to want Woodson to return, Michigan have promoted Biff Poggi to interim manager for now. Michigan's next big game and Poggi's first as HC will be the Citrus Bowl matchup on December 31, where they take on Steve Sarkisian and Arch Manning’s Texas Longhorns in the Florida matchup.
Woodson is not the only one with a cryptic post after Moore's firing. Legendary NFL player and current Colorado coach Deion Sanders also had a three-word message in the wake of the Michigan fiasco today.
