Michigan athletic director Warde Manuel is speaking out as a wide-ranging review of the football program unfolds following Sherrone Moore’s dismissal.<\/p>\n

Last year, an investigation determined Moore was involved in an “inappropriate relationship with a staff member.” It was later revealed that Moore’s former assistant<\/a> was part of the relationship. The fallout from the scandal ultimately left Michigan’s top athletics official feeling “betrayed.”<\/p>\n

“I felt betrayed. It\u2019s the best word that I can use,” Manuel told the Detroit News.<\/a><\/p>\n

Manuel said the situation struck a personal chord and had broader consequences for those around the program.<\/p>\n

“It was personal, but it was also, I want to emphasize, for so many people that were affected by it. \u2026 There are a lot of people who claim to be callous, who say, \u2018Oh, you should have fired him when the rumor was there.\u2019 But you can\u2019t just fire people on rumors with no evidence. So when the evidence was presented, it was a sense of betrayal and hurt for everybody who was going to be involved with a decision.”<\/p>\n

Manuel seemed to dodge questions about who initiated the investigation<\/a> \u2014 whether it was his decision or that of the Board of Regents. He also pushed back on how it has been portrayed, defending the program\u2019s broader culture.<\/p>\n

“I was fine if that was the direction that they wanted to go,” Warde Manuel said. “What I haven\u2019t appreciated \u2026 is in the context of an investigation into the culture here. However people want to couch it, what I want is people to understand that 99.9% of the people here are doing things the right way. \u2026 We\u2019ve had our issues and we\u2019re not perfect, and I don\u2019t know any organization that\u2019s without issues and people issues.”<\/p>\n

Amid speculation about his own role, Manuel pushed back on the idea that he is under investigation.<\/p>\n

“That\u2019s not how I see it, no. Listen, it\u2019s easy for people to say, well, Warde\u2019s the leader, and therefore this is not just a review, this is an investigation of what the leader has done. That\u2019s not, to me, what I\u2019m going to be taking away from this. \u2026 And I\u2019m not claiming that I can\u2019t be better. \u2026 We\u2019ve had our issues, and we deal with them, and we try to improve every time.”<\/p>\n

Manuel declined to weigh in on Sherrone Moore\u2019s sentencing, instead voicing support and expressing hope that everyone can move forward.<\/p>\n

“I want Sherrone to get through this and to move forward for him and his family, and so I don\u2019t have a reaction to the sentencing itself, more of a reaction to him as a person. … I want him and everyone who\u2019s affected to be able to get through it, to move forward, and to learn from it and to be better. That\u2019s the way I think about it. I don\u2019t judge any of the outcomes or the things that he\u2019s going through.”<\/p>\n

Moore faced up to five years in prison on home invasion and stalking charges after his dismissal from Michigan. He avoided prison<\/a> after pleading to lesser charges and was ordered to have no contact with his former assistant.<\/p>\n

Kyle Whittingham<\/a> left Utah to replace Moore as Michigan\u2019s head coach.<\/p>\n
