Disgraced former Michigan staffer Connor Stalions had a rough go of things in his high school head coaching debut.
Stalions began the high school season as the defensive coordinator at Detroit Mumford High School. But when head coach William McMichael suffered a stroke, Stallions was promoted to the team’s interim head coach.
He made his head coaching debut on Friday night against Flint Hamady Community and it’s safe to say things didn’t go very well.
Not only did Mumford lose, it lost in a biiiig way. Flint Hamady won the game 60-0, and at one point it appears that Stalions even lost track of the downs.

When McMichael first hired Stalions, he praised the former Wolverines staffer for his football knowledge. Notably, McMichael’s son Jeremiah Beasley committed to Stalions and Michigan before transferring prior to his freshman season.
“Jeremiah committed to Michigan, and I met (Stalions) during the recruiting process,” McMichael said. “He’s outstanding. I think he knows Michigan’s defense just as well as anyone else who was there with (former defensive coordinator Jesse) Minter and all of those guys.
“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. 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.”
Clearly whatever advantage Stalions brought to his new team wasn’t enough. But hey, there’s nowhere to go but up from here!
