Fired Michigan coach Sherrone Moore reaches plea deal in case over alleged break-in at mistress's home

Fox News correspondent Garrett Tenney has the latest on former Michigan head football coach Sherrone Moore's fall from grace on 'Special Report.'

Sherrone Moore, who was fired as Michigan's head football coach in December, pleaded no contest to two misdemeanors in a deal to resolve a felony criminal case. 

Moore was facing charges of stalking, breaking and entering and home invasion of the home of his executive assistant, with whom he allegedly had an extramarital affair.
