Former Michigan Staffer Connor Stalions Loses 60-0 in HSFB Head Coaching Debut

It doesn't look like Connor Stalions did much advance scouting before his debut as a high school head coach.

Detroit Mumford, where Stalions became the acting head coach after predecessor William McMichael suffered a stroke, lost 60-0 Flint Hamady on Friday night.

After the defeat, he told the Detroit News' David Goricki he's looked far beyond just one game.

"I came to Mumford because I wanted to help flip the culture," Stalions said. "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'd 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're driving back the 15 guys who are in."

Stalions rose to prominence as the pivotal figure in an alleged sign-stealing scheme while he was on the staff at Michigan. The NCAA sent the school a formal notice of allegations in August, so the matter remains open.

Stalions resigned last November and issued a statement saying neither Wolverines head coach Jim Harbaugh nor any other staffer within the program was aware of any sign-stealing operation.

He joined Mumford's staff as the defensive coordinator in a volunteer capacity in August.
