NextImg:Michigan villain Connor Stalions lands new football coaching job

Connor Stalions is returning to football after a brief hiatus.

Stalions, the retired Marine Corps captain who resigned from Michigan football last season after he was accused of being the architect of a sophisticated sign-stealing scheme, is the new defensive coordinator at Detroit’s Mumford High School.

“I got the most hated man in college football right now, Connor Stalions,” the high school’s head coach, William McMichael, told the Detroit News. “He’s my defensive coordinator.”

Stalions is set to reveal his side of the sign-stealing story for the first time in a Netflix documentary debuting later this month.

The former staffer resigned from Michigan last November, and his attorney Brad Beckwith denied that then-coach Jim Harbaugh had any awareness of the sign-stealing scheme.

“Connor chose to resign because recent stories regarding his time with the University of Michigan have created a distraction for the team,” the attorney said at the time. “He hopes his resignation will help the team and coaching staff focus on tomorrow’s game and the remainder of the season.

“Connor also wants to make it clear that, to his knowledge, neither Coach Harbaugh, nor any other coach or staff member, told anyone to break any rules or were aware of improper conduct regarding the recent allegations of advanced scouting.”

Michigan would go on to win the national championship, downing Washington in the title game.

McMichael, the high school coach giving Stalions a new opportunity, said he’s not concerned about the ongoing NCAA investigation into the sign-stealing scheme.

“I’m not worried about it,” McMichael said. “What happened with the NCAA doesn’t concern us here at Mumford. He comes here every day and gives 120 (percent), and the kids all love him and we’re all learning from him.”
