Leland Loses Power, Sherrone Moore Sacked, Kronk Gym Returns

Show notes

Three timely stories to talk about today:

01:20 – Sherrone Moore Fired

  • The University of Michigan and head football coach Sherrone Moore abruptly part ways after an internal investigation into an inappropriate relationship with a staffer, plus a separate assault probe in Washtenaw County.​
  • Jer and Fletcher dig into how this goes far beyond wins and losses: the impact on recruits, assistants, and a program still reeling from recent scandals.​
  • They also explore how boosters, fans, and parents might see Moore differently after this, and what it means for Michigan's near-term future on and off the field.​

09:57 – Leland House Power Cut

  • Detroit's historic Leland House goes dark after a fire marshal–ordered evacuation, with DTE and ownership pointing fingers over damaged equipment and unpaid bills. ​​
  • The conversation widens to what happens when iconic Detroit buildings fall into limbo—and how quickly "troubled" can turn into "too far gone."​

15:19 – Kronk Gym Returning to Detroit

  • Some good news: Kronk Gym is back inside Detroit city limits at a new home on Wilkins, not far from where legends once trained.​
  • The revived gym blends big-name boxing alumni with youth programming, fitness classes and a renewed community mission.​
  • Fletcher shares personal memories of the old Kronk and why hearing "hailing from Detroit, Michigan, out of Kronk Gym" still hits different for the city.​
