Michigan Football: Sherrone Moore’s to-do list in the 2024 season

Michigan has been able to adapt well enough in the new college football landscape, doing enough on the recruiting and NIL front to stay in contention and win the national championship.

But with Jim Harbaugh, some key staffers, and a pile of elite players heading out the door, new football coach Sherrone Moore inherits a program both at its height but also facing a very uncertain future.

 

What are the most important items on Moore’s checklist as he takes the top job heading into the 2024 season and beyond?

1. Recruiting

Michigan hasn’t exactly stumbled on the trail during the Harbaugh years, ranking inside the top 25 nationally every cycle, inside the top-15 six times, and inside the top-10 five times.

The allure of Harbaugh — a veteran commodity who produced NFL talent and coached in a Super Bowl — is gone, leaving a sizable hole, and while Moore doesn’t boast those credentials, he isn’t exactly a liability, either.
