Fired Michigan football coach Sherrone Moore was released from jail Friday on $25,000 bail, according to police records obtained by News Digital.
However, it is unclear if Moore will return home to his family.
Moore’s attorney, Joseph Simon, declined to say whether the coach will return home to his wife and three children while speaking to reporters in an Ann Arbor courtroom on Friday.

“I’m just not going to answer that question,” Simon said when asked if Moore “could go home.”
Moore has been married to his wife Kelli since 2015 and they have three daughters together: Shiloh, Solei and Sadie. Simon also declined to comment on his client’s “state of mind” after Moore was charged.
Conditions of Moore’s release also require him to wear a GPS device, continue mental health treatment and prohibit him from contacting the victim.
Moore was fired Wednesday, and the University of Michigan quickly announced that it found credible evidence of an “inappropriate relationship” with an employee. Moore was then arrested by the police on Wednesday after news of his firing broke.
Moore was arraigned in court Friday on charges of harassment and criminal trespass. According to prosecutors, he faces a felony charge of third-degree breaking and entering and two misdemeanor counts of stalking and breaking and entering without the owner’s permission.

Both misdemeanor charges are related to a “domestic relationship.”

Prosecutors accused Moore of contacting the employee through phone calls and text messages after the breakup, prompting the victim to contact the University of Michigan and cooperate in its investigation. Moore was subsequently fired from his position as a football coach, which prosecutors say led him to show up at the woman’s home.
Moore then allegedly “stormed” into the residence, grabbed a butter knife and a pair of kitchen scissors and began threatening his own life. According to prosecutors, Moore allegedly told the employee, “My blood is on your hands” and “You ruined my life.”
Prosecutors claimed Moore “terrorized” the employee and that they believed he was a “risk to public safety.”

Francisco Javier “Biff” Poggi was named interim head coach and will be on the sidelines when Michigan faces Texas in the Citrus Bowl on December 31. Earlier this season, Poggi replaced Moore during Moore’s suspension for recruiting violations.
