WATCH: Connor Stalions freaks out while arguing with refs in his debut high school game loss
Former Michigan analyst Connor Stalions resigned from the Wolverines midway last season after being embroiled in the infamous sign-stealing scandal. Stalions has now taken his coaching expertise to high school where he is the volunteer defensive coordinator of Detroit Mumford.
With Mumford head coach William McMichael hospitalized after he suffered a stroke last Friday, Stalions took over for the team's game against Flint Hamady. This opportunity gave him a taste of what it's like to be the head coach of a football team.
In a video going viral on social media, the former Michigan analyst argues with the referees on the field as his team struggles against Hamady. Stalions can be seen being furious with the refs but to no avail.
Flint Hamady earned a whitewash 60-0 win over Detroit Mumford. The loss comes after Mumford's 47-6 defeat in the season opener against Redford Thompson.
Connor Stalions was a part of the Michigan Wolverines as an off-field analyst. He reportedly brought dozens of tickets to Michigan's future opponents to observe them and secretly record their signals from the sidelines, which is in direct violation of the NCAA guidelines.
After he found himself in the middle of the scandal, Stalions cut ties with the Wolverines and embarked on a new journey in the world of coaching at the high school level. However, he wishes to be back coaching at the collegiate level in the near future.
Connor Stalions reveals factors influencing his decision to join Mumford
After the game, while speaking to the Detroit Press, Connor Stalions opened up about why he decided to become the defensive coordinator of Detroit Mumford High School. He said:
"I came to Mumford because I want to help flip the culture. They are not used to winning and I wanted to help show these guys the actual process of what it's going to take to win, because they eventually will win. And for me that's more gratifying than going to a program that's already winning.
"I would rather have 15 guys who love the process of football than 30 guys where they're kind of halfway in and halfway out, because they are driving back the 15 guys who are in."
Stalions still has a long way to go if he wants to fulfill and realize his dreams. And the fact that he is still under investigation by the NCAA for the sign-stealing scandal does not help his case. The next goal for him would be to lead Mumford to its first victory of the season.
