Former Michigan football staffer Connor Stalions has made a bold declaration about his future aspirations, stating that he still hopes to one day become the Wolverines’ head coach. Despite his controversial departure from the program amid a sign-stealing scandal, Stalions remains steadfast in his belief that he will eventually lead Michigan, confidently asserting, “I’ll outwait anyone.” His remarks reflect an unwavering commitment to the program and a deep desire to return in a leadership role.
Stalions, who was previously a low-level recruiting analyst, gained national attention during Michigan’s 2023 season when he was at the center of an NCAA investigation into improper scouting practices. He ultimately resigned from his position, but his connection to the Wolverines and his outspoken support for the team have never wavered. His latest statement suggests that, despite the controversy surrounding his exit, he sees a path back to the program in a much larger capacity.
With Michigan’s recent success, including a national championship victory in the 2023 season, the head coaching position remains one of the most coveted jobs in college football. Currently led by Sherrone Moore after Jim Harbaugh’s departure to the NFL, the Wolverines are in a strong position moving forward. Stalions’ bold claim raises questions about whether he could ever realistically work his way back into the program and, if so, how long he’s willing to wait for such an opportunity.
For now, Stalions remains on the outside looking in, but his confidence and persistence suggest he isn’t giving up on his dream. Whether Michigan’s administration or fanbase would ever embrace his return is another matter entirely. His statement is sure to spark debate about his future in the sport and whether he will ever get the chance to prove himself as a head coach at the program he still holds in such high regard.
