Former Michigan football staffer Connor Stalions, who allegedly ran what the NCAA deems an illegal sign-stealing scheme, may not have returned to college football, but he’s getting another chance to coach in the game.
First reported by The Detroit News’ David Goricki, Stalions has joined the Detroit (Mich.) Mumford program as the team’s defensive coordinator.
Stalions is the new defensive coordinator at Detroit Mumford, new Mumford head football coach William McMichael told The Detroit News on Thursday.
“I got the most hated man in college football right now, Connor Stalions,” McMichael said. “He’s my defensive coordinator.”
As mentioned, Mumford has a new football coach in William McMichael, who previously was the offensive line coach at Belleville. McMichael is also the father of Jeremiah Beasley, the linebacker who signed initially with Michigan football before ultimately transferring to Missouri.
Stalions will officially break his silence since the NCAA revealed he was the target of its investigation later this month, when Netflix releases ‘Sign Stealer’ — a documentary that tells the story from Stalions’ point of view, as part of the streaming platform’s ‘Untold’ series. That documentary is scheduled to drop on Aug. 27.
