Michigan's Biff Poggi Steps In as Interim Coach During Moore Suspension
Biff Poggi, a veteran coach, is filling in as Michigan's interim coach because the head coach, Sherrone Moore, is suspended.
Moore's suspension is due to the sign-stealing scandal from 2023, where he failed to cooperate with the NCAA.
Poggi has a long history in football, and was previously associate head coach.
He will be coaching the team in the upcoming game against Nebraska.
Moore received a two-year show-cause order and a three-game ban.
Michigan self-imposed a two-game suspension, and the NCAA added an additional game to the ban.
