Sherrone Moore shares his outlook for the Michigan football team in fall camp

Sherrone Moore has participated in many fall camps, but in less than a month he will be taking the lead for a change.

Moore joined the Wolverines in 2018 as tight ends coach, but was promoted to offensive line coach and co-offensive coordinator in 2021. The latter role was expanded a year later when Josh Gattis defected to Miami, and then expanded even further when he was named sole offensive coordinator last year.

But now he is the head coach, the man who oversees everything.

As for fall camp, Moore told Rick Pizzo on the Big Ten Network what he envisions fall camp to be like and what he wants it to look like. And if it looks like what he envisions, Michigan football will be incredibly tough to beat again in 2024.

“The main thing you want to see is that you’re physically and mentally strong and that you can handle the pressure when the going gets tough,” Moore said. “And we’re going to do that as best we can in camp, but also stay healthy. And we’ve got a great schedule ahead of us. And we’re excited about the schedule.”

The schedule is certainly much more challenging, as Michigan will not only face three of the four former Pac-12 schools, but Texas will also come to Ann Arbor in Week 2 and play an away game against Ohio State at the end of the year.

Of course, Moore also faces some personnel challenges.

Although Michigan is nearly at full strength and should have one of the best, if not the best, defenses in the country, 15 or more players that were heavily valued last year are no longer on the team. Without quarterback JJ McCarthy and running back Blake Corum on offense and nickel Mike Sainristil and linebackers Junior Colson and Mike Barrett on defense, there are a lot of holes to fill.

Nevertheless, Moore is enthusiastic about his successor and points to the company culture, which makes him confident that Michigan can maintain its high standards of quality in 2024.

“I think the culture that’s been built now is that guys understand that and that it doesn’t really matter who’s sitting on that court, who’s sitting on that chair, who’s wearing those uniforms, that the standards are the same,” Moore said. “And when you wear the Block M, you wear it with pride and you go on offense and try to win championships. So that’s what we’re going to try to do. We know there’s a process and we’ve got to keep attacking that process.”
