  • Michigan recently hired Glenn "Shemy" Schembechler, son of legendary football coach Bo Schembechler, as assistant director of football recruiting.

  • Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh took responsibility for the failed hire and criticized the offensive content.
  • Michigan dropped the third-party company that vetted Schembechler and will use a new human resources firm.
