Ex-Michigan staffer Connor Stalions coaching at Detroit high school

Connor Stalions, the low-level analyst who was allegedly the mastermind behind Michigan's sign-stealing operation that led to former coach Jim Harbaugh's three-game suspension during the Wolverines' national championship season in 2023, is back in coaching.

Mumford High coach William McMichael confirmed to ESPN on Friday that he has hired Stalions as his defensive coordinator at the Detroit school. McMichael said Stalions is working as a volunteer.

"He might be the most hated man in college football, but the coaches and kids at Mumford High School love him," McMichael said.

McMichael, in his first season as Mumford High's coach, said a mutual friend introduced him to Stalions.
