Former University of Michigan football coach Sherrone Moore was sentenced to 18 months probation following charges related to an incident at a female staffer's home.

Moore was fired from his position at the university in December after school officials said he had an inappropriate relationship with a female staff member. The firing led to criminal charges connected to a confrontation that occurred at the woman's residence.

Court proceedings concluded with Moore avoiding jail time despite the stalking-related charges. The specific details of the confrontation and the nature of the alleged stalking behavior have not been fully disclosed in court records.

Moore's dismissal from Michigan marked the end of his tenure as head coach of the Wolverines football program. The university had cited the inappropriate relationship as grounds for termination.

The probation sentence allows Moore to remain free while complying with court-ordered conditions for the next year and a half. The case represents a significant fall for the former coach, who had been leading one of college football's most prominent programs.
