Moore Gone at Michigan....

[Fryowa]

The timeline I saw reported by a Michigan beat writer is that they investigated the allegations this Summer and both of them denied the affair. Apparently, the side piece walked into the AD's building this week and came clean and had texts, emails, etc. showing the affair. The AD then pulled the trigger. Its unclear how involved the outside investigators were this week given the confession and evidence.

Its also not clear why she did it. Was she spurned? Or, did she feel the walls closing in and felt it best to come clean before the investigators figured it out on their own? Either way, if she is smart she lawyered up first because this could go a couple different ways for her.

I don't see Warde Manuel surviving this one either.

I've read that not only did he know about the affair, he knew about Moore paying for the abortion to keep it quiet and approving her $40,000 raise after the fact.

Massillon OH is about 4 hrs from Happy Valley. Now, I don't know where his wife's parents are from or from the west PA area. No idea. Ann Arbor is about 3.5 hrs from Massillon so is negligible.

It's like a guy growing up in Eastern Iowa, playing at Northwestern one year, returning to Iowa for the rest of college and his early coaching career and then taking a job @ Colorado State for 10 years.

He then gets hired by Illinois and says that's "coming home". Not exactly.

I agree. And, in today's modern HR world, I have never heard of a high level executive being fired 1-1 by his boss in a closed door setting. That is amateur stuff. It feels more like a damage control meeting. The whole thing smells and I agree that the AD is in real danger. He still has Harbaugh's stink on him as well. If I was the president I would clean house.

My selfish wish is that there are people who have cell phones in their pockets recording these conversations and leaking them.

Michigan is a one-party consent state.

However, that's pretty unlikely because those conversations are much more valuable as blackmail.

To my understanding, Moore showed up that morning preparing for the Citrus Bowl. He was called into the AD's office, door closed and he was fired. Doubt he had any opportunity to record it, and if what we think is true about the AD, the AD would not have wanted it recorded either.

He ended this same day in jail on a suicide watch and on suspicion of some serious felonies. Oh, and he probably lost his wife, money, and access to kids to boot. That probably qualifies as a worst day ever.

Looks like he might be ending today in jail too, he didn't get an arraignment yet. Must be still be some additional stuff they're figuring out to charge him with. Assuming they got the easy assault charge filed within the 24 hours to be able to keep him for a bit.
