Dig deeper:
ESPN is reporting that the Saline city manager said that Moore was located and detained by officials following an incident involving Pittsfield Township Police.
The details on why he was detained are unclear as of 8:20 p.m. on Wednesday.
The report, by Pete Thamel and Dan Wetzel, states that Moore was turned over to the Pittsfield Township Police Department for "an investigation into potential charges."
The report first came from ESPN on Wednesday, followed by a press release from Michigan AD Warde Manuel.
"U-M head football coach Sherrone Moore has been terminated, with cause, effective immediately," Manuel said in the release.
The move was sparked due to an inappropriate relationship with a staff member, according to Manuel.
"This conduct constitutes a clear violation of University policy, and U-M maintains zero tolerance for such behavior," he said. "Biff Poggi has been appointed head football coach in an interim capacity, effective immediately."
This season Moore's Wolverines went 9-3 most recently losing to top-ranked Ohio State in the regular season finale.
Michigan is scheduled to play Texas in the Cheez-It Citrus Bowl on New Year's Eve.
