Connor Stalions loses 60-0 in his debut as high school head coach

Friday night, Connor Stallions made his debut as head coach. He took over the role of assistant coach in Detroit Mumford after the head coach suffered a mild stroke and his first game against Flint was Hamady Community.

Suffice it to say, it probably didn't go the way the Stalions had planned. Mumford fell to Hamada 60-0, dropping to 0-2 on the young season.

Stallions – who was the focus Michigan's sign-stealing scandal last year – Mumford’s defensive coordinator was hired under William McMichael last week. But after McMichael was hospitalized, the school turned to the Stalions for an assistant head coach.

Mumford lost its season opener against Redford last week Lee M. Thurston as the Mustangs allowed 47 points. Next week they face Detroit Cass Technical – which ranks 42nd in the state, according to the Massey Reviewsa model that combines statistics and ratings such as attack and defense strength as well as home advantage and playing strength.

Stallions naturally spent time on Jim Harbaugh's employee at Michigan before the sign-stealing scandal came to light. He was also the subject of a Netflix documentary about the investigation, for which the Wolverines Notice of Allegations End of August.

How Connor Stalions joined Mumford’s staff

A connection with McMichael helped the Stalions land Mumford's defensive coordinator job. He is the father of the former Michigan player Jeremiah Beasley – has since switched to Missouri after Harbaugh left for the Los Angeles Chargers – and met Stalions when the Wolverines recruited his son.

“He is great with the kids, has an excellent understanding of football and we learn a lot – not only the kids, but also the coaching staff,” McMichael told the Detroit Newswhich originally reported on Stalions' hiring at Mumford. “He's a great addition to what we do. He can help prepare the kids for college.”

“They learn the everyday language, how to work at university and how to analyze films. This gives the children an advantage.”

When asked if the NCAA investigation had any influence on the decision to hire Stalions, McMichael said it did not. He said it had nothing to do with Mumford.

“I’m not worried about it,” McMichael said The news“What happened with the NCAA doesn't affect us here at Mumford. He comes here every day and gives 120%, and the kids all love him and we all learn from him.”
