Former Michigan football staffer Connor Stalions is back in coaching
The name of Connor Stalions will always be associated with Michigan football. The former analyst and recruiting staffer was part of an alleged sign-stealing operation.
Stalions is accused of purchasing tickets for "agents" and then having them record the signals of Michigan football opponets. He then presumably added these videos to his database to try and decipher the signals of opponents.

Still, the entire scandal was blown out of proportion. Stalions resigned his position from the Michigan football program. He's now facing an NCAA investigation. He also filmed a documentary for Netflix and on top of that, he will be the defensive coordinator for Detroit Mumford according to the Detroit News.
Stalions, according to the Detroit News, had a prior relationship with Mumford head coach Wiliam McMichael, who is the father of a former Michigan football recruit. Stalions will be working with the program in a volunteer role,
“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,” McMichael said to The Detroit News. “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.
