Michigan assistant coach Sherrone Moore has found himself at the center of controversy ahead of the Rose Bowl.

Earlier this week, Alabama QB Jalen Milroe revealed that former Crimson Tide offensive coordinator Bill O’Brien told him that “he shouldn’t play quarterback.”

“All my life, even when I was in college,” “Shoot, my own offensive coordinator Bill O’Brien told me I shouldn’t play quarterback.”

“Biggest thing for me, be true to myself and stay the same. Nothing changed about me. Only thing that changed was that I had opportunity, and I seized it.”

Ahead of the Rose Bowl game between Michigan and Alabama, Moore  was asked about his thoughts on O’Brien’s comments about Milroe and black QB stereotypes, and this is how he answered.

“Really, I don’t see color. My wife is Caucasian. My kids are mixed. I deal with black, white. I’ve lived in Kansas where you can be in the house with the door open at 12, and in New Jersey where you have to be in the house by 6 o’clock. I’ve seen all cards of the spectrum. …”

Moore’s comments caused a firestorm on social media.
