Just nine months after resigning from his post as a recruiting staffer at the University of Michigan, Connor Stalions is getting an unexpected chance to make his head-coaching debut at the high school level on Friday.
It was reported in mid-August that Stalions was tabbed as the defensive coordinator for Mumford High School in Detroit.
Mustangs first-year head coach William McMichael had said last month that Stalions was working as a volunteer in his role.
A report from Dennis Dodd of CBS Sports said that Stalions will be the team’s acting head coach at least for Friday’s game against Hamady High School, though McMichael said his return to the team is “unknown.”
“Connor is leading the team now,” McMichael told CBS Sports .
Mumford’s temporary leader resigned from the Wolverines program in November amid the team’s sign-stealing scandal. The NCAA opened an investigation last October during Michigan’s run to the national championship, alleging that Stalions was the mastermind of a scheme that involved the program sending individuals to games involving future opponents using tickets he purchased over three years.
