The Michigan Wolverines seem to have their new head coach.

Michigan is not wasting any time in finding Sherrone Moore’s replacement. Earlier this month, the university fired him for cause. Since being fired, he has been exposed for his secret and dirty deeds by multiple women. The first woman, Paige Shiver, is the reason he got fired.

Who will be the next Michigan football coach?

The team has one more bowl game to play, and then their search will begin. One coach may have already been found. ESPN’s Pete Thamel and Dan Wetzel reported that Michigan has zeroed in on soon-to-be-former Utah coach Kyle Whittingham.

“Whittingham’s candidacy is expected to be shared with top Michigan officials on Friday, per sources, and a deal could come together in the near future if they approve,” per the report.

After 21 years leading Utah, Whittingham announced on Dec. 12 that he was stepping down as head coach. He is now a strong candidate to replace Sherrone Moore. Whittingham has expressed interest in Michigan’s position, the Free Press has learned. He told reporters Dec. 18 that he’s “in the transfer portal.”

However, he is not finished with Utah just yet. Whittingham still has one game left to coach. Utah faces Nebraska in the Las Vegas Bowl on Dec. 31.

Sherrone Moore is Unlikely To Ever Be In The College Ranks Again

Michigan sets its sights on a new head coach candidate to replace Sherrone Moore following his scandal. The Wolverines are targeting former Utah coach Kyle Whittingham. A contract could be finalized should the proposal receive the green light.

The program wastes no time trying to distance itself from the scandal of Moore. Whittingham led Utah to a 177-88 record over 22 seasons. Michigan is hoping to return to the top of college football.

They certainly took a step back with Sherrone Moore as head coach.

Moore was arrested after allegedly entering Paige Shiver’s home after his firing. He was charged with three crimes: felony home invasion, stalking, and breaking and entering. His behavior is unlikely to ever get him back in the college ranks.

Luka Doncic ‘destroys’ the Mavs on his return. Gets standing ovation and shows love to Mark Cuban

Luka Doncic hits 45 points in his first game in Dallas since being traded to the Los Angeles.

It’s rare for a home crowd to cheer the visiting team, but Luka Doncic’s return to Dallas was no ordinary night.

Just days before February’s trade deadline, the Mavericks shocked the NBA by sending their 26-year-old superstar to the Lakers—a move that outraged fans and sparked backlash toward GM Nico Harrison.

On Wednesday, Doncic played his first game back in Dallas since the trade. The arena was filled with fans in both his old Mavs and new Lakers jerseys, many chanting “Fire Nico” in protest.

Despite the emotion in the air, Doncic delivered a dominant performance, scoring a game-high 45 points to lead the Lakers to a 112-97 win. It was a powerful return for one of the league’s brightest stars—and a night Dallas won’t soon forget

The Mavericks pay tribute to Luka Dončić

While the Mavericks’ decision to trade Luka Doncic remains heavily criticized, they handled his return to Dallas with undeniable grace. The organization made sure his first game back as a Laker was met with respect and appreciation.

Every seat in the arena was draped with a T-shirt reading “Hvala za vse,” which translates from Slovenian to “thank you for everything.” It was a thoughtful nod to Doncic’s heritage and impact on the franchise.

Before tip-off, during the starting lineup announcements, the Mavericks played a tribute video showcasing some of Doncic’s most iconic moments in a Dallas jersey. The emotional gesture clearly resonated—moving Doncic to tears in front of the crowd that once called him their own.

Luka Doncic ‘DESTROYS’ his old team

Luka delivered a dazzling performance against his former team, putting up 45 points on 16-of-28 shooting, including 7-of-10 from beyond the arc. He also added 8 rebounds, 6 assists, and 4 steals in a game that showed exactly why he’s one of the best in the league.

From the opening tip, Doncic was locked in. By halftime, Doncic had racked up 31 points on 11-of-16 shooting in just 19 minutes—marking the 10th time in his career he’s scored 30 or more in a single half.

Though his scoring slowed in the second half, he continued to lead effectively, securing both a Lakers win and an unforgettable showing for the fans in Dallas.
