University of Michigan’s head football coach Sherrone Moore was fired on December 10 after internal investigators found “credible evidence” that he violated the school’s policy by engaging in an “inappropriate relationship with a staff member,” the Wolverines’ athletic director, Warde Manuel, told the press.

“U-M head football coach Sherrone Moore has been terminated, with cause, effective immediately. Following a university investigation, credible evidence was found that Coach Moore engaged in an inappropriate relationship with a staff member. This conduct constitutes a clear violation of university policy, and U-M maintains zero tolerance for such behavior,” Manuel added.

A few hours later, Moore was taken into custody by Pittsfield Township Police with assistance from the Saline Police Department after officers responded to an “alleged assault” at an apartment in the area, as part of a domestic incident with an unnamed woman. He reportedly also threatened to harm himself, which raised further caution.

The authorities claimed that the incident wasn’t “random in nature” and an investigation is currently underway.

In the wake of the double scandal, Paige Shiver's name has surfaced online. She was the executive assistant of Sherrone Moore at the University of Michigan and is rumored to be the staff member who had an “inappropriate relationship” with him that resulted in a pregnancy and subsequent abortion.

What further fuelled the speculations about Paige Shiver, despite no official confirmation, was the deactivation of her social media accounts, including LinkedIn and X. Meanwhile, according to Marca, her Instagram has been turned private and her Facebook page only shows her profile picture and cover image as of Wednesday.


All about Paige Shiver amid the Sherrone Moore controversy

Paige Shiver joined the University of Michigan’s athletic department in 2022 as an on-campus Assistant Recruiting & Operations Coordinator. Last year, she was promoted to executive assistant to the head football coach. In her role, she assisted the now-ousted Sherrone Moore with administrative coordination, recruitment, and team operations.

Paige, 31, is the daughter of longtime Chicago Bears scout Jeff Shiver. The father has spent over three decades with the Bears and is currently the executive scout/ assistant director of college scouting.

Meanwhile, Paige Shiver’s uncle, Emerson Kampen III, is a basketball analyst and ex-player with Butler University.

In May 2016, the Chicago Bears did a profile on Paige Shiver, which revealed that she was battling with a rare and progressive disorder called Pompe Disease, which affected the muscles around her heart, lungs, and skeleton.

The article stated that she would need weekly treatments for the rest of her life and could no longer enjoy running, lifting weights, and professional cycling.

At the time, she was studying marketing at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana, and was due for graduation in a couple of weeks. Ms Shiver was to join apparel brand Blu Spero in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, where she previously did an internship.


According to reports, Sherrone Moore is married and is a father to three children. Since he violated the university’s policy, he reportedly will not get the remainder of his $5 million per year of his contract.

Meanwhile, he is currently being detained at the Washtenaw County Jail. However, the charges against him remain undisclosed.

While Sherrone Moore’s replacement has not been named yet, Biff Poggi has been appointed as the interim head football coach, according to the university reports.
