Newsstand: Former Michigan analyst Connor Stalions coaching high school football
Tweets Of The Day
Former Michigan analyst Connor Stalions is the new defensive coordinator at Detroit Mumford High School, under head coach William McMichael.
Stalions resigned from his post at Michigan last fall, after becoming the centerpiece of an NCAA investigation into the program for alleged off-campus scouting. The bylaw in question, 11.6.1, was put into place in the 1990s as a cost-cutting measure and, if broken, per the NCAA, provides no major competitive advantage.
Neither Stalions nor Michigan has received a notice of allegations from the NCAA regarding the matter, but he hasn’t landed at another college. He’s now in the high school ranks, and McMichael is fired up about hiring him.
“I got the most hated man in college football right now, Connor Stalions,” McMichael said in an interview with The Detroit News. “He’s my defensive coordinator.
“He’s great with the kids, has an outstanding football mind and we’re learning a lot — not just the kids, but the coaching staff. He’s a great addition to what we’re doing. He can help prepare the kids for college. They are learning the lingo, how they practice college and how they break down film, so it gives the kids an advantage.”
After practice on Thursday, head coach Sherrone Moore declared that Michigan had no more meetings for the day. The team instead enjoyed themselves by playing games at the local Big Entertainment Sports.
