Furthermore, Moore is eligible for bonuses up to $3.5 million, including $500,000 for a conference championship win and $1 million for a national championship victory.
Moore’s appointment holds significant historical weight, as he becomes the first Black head coach to hold a permanent position in Michigan’s storied football history. This milestone is a substantial step towards diversity and inclusion in the world of sports.
In a statement, Moore expressed his excitement and vision for the role. He emphasized the importance of maintaining the legacy of Michigan’s championship football and reiterated his commitment to excellence both on and off the field.
As Moore takes the helm, he faces the daunting task of building his staff. While it’s not yet known if Harbaugh will attempt to bring any of the current Michigan assistants with him to the NFL, one thing is certain: Moore’s journey as the head coach of Michigan has just begun, and fans are eager to see where he leads the Wolverines in the coming years.
With Moore’s appointment, the Wolverines’ team enters a new chapter in its history. The hope is that this new leadership will bring a fresh perspective and continue Michigan’s legacy of excellence. The coming seasons will be a testament to Moore’s leadership, strategic acumen, and his ability to inspire his team to new heights.
