Thu Dec 25 07:10:00 UTC 2025: ## Michigan Football Coach Search Intensifies, Timeline Set for Bowl Game
ANN ARBOR, MI – The University of Michigan’s search for a new head football coach is in full swing following the dismissal of Sherrone Moore two weeks ago. With candidate names circulating and search firm TurnkeyZRG actively vetting prospects, Athletic Director Warde Manuel faces mounting pressure to fill the crucial role before the Wolverines head to Orlando for the Citrus Bowl on December 31st.
Information surrounding the search remains tightly guarded, with Manuel and his team prioritizing discretion. However, interim head coach Biff Poggi revealed on Monday that Manuel has communicated a clear deadline to the players: a new head coach should be in place by the bowl game.
While specific candidates remain undisclosed, the accelerated timeline suggests Manuel is aiming for a swift and decisive selection process. The pressure is on to secure a capable leader to guide the Wolverines in the coming season and beyond.
