"I felt honored": Michigan HC Sherrone Moore reminisces the support he received when named as Jim Harbaugh's successor 

After leading the Michigan Wolverines to a national championship, former head coach Jim Harbaugh named Sherrone Moore as his successor. Before becoming the head coach, Moore served as the tight ends coach and offensive coordinator for a couple of years after he initally joined the program back in 2018.

During an interivew with CFB analyst Joel Klatt, Moore recalled the support he received from fans and players alike after being named Jim Harbaugh's successor in Ann Arbor.

"I felt honored. I felt like all the hard work that I put in with this team and these players had really come to fruition," Moore said. "I mean, it was something you can't really describe, but just very humble to have you know Wolverine Nation, all the people, all the players, coaches, you and some media say, 'Hey, like, he should be the head coach at Michigan.'"

Moore talked about his starting goals when he first joined the Wolverines coaching staff.

"When I first got here seven years ago, I just wanted to be the best tight end coach I could be. At some point, you know, I wanted to call plays. I got chance to do that with our young guys, and you know, the opportunity to be the head coach here was really not in my mind, and so when this did take place, it was very humbling for me."

"I didn't even know that. That's cool ... I didn't even hear that comment. But that's an awesome statement from probably, arguably, the best coach in college football history." (25:10)

Sherrone Moore now shoulders the responsibility of carrying forward Harbaugh's legacy in Ann Arbor. It will be interesting to see if he can lead the Wolverines to consecutive national titles this upcoming season.
