Glenn “Shemy” Schembechler, the son of the late former Michigan football coach Bo Schembechler, has resigned three days after he announced on social media he had been hired as assistant director of Michigan football recruiting.
Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh and athletic director Warde Manuel made the announcement Saturday night in a shared statement.
Schembechler’s Twitter timeline had a number of posts and “likes” of multiple offensive and insensitive posts, including several suggesting slavery and Jim Crow were a positive to strengthen Black individuals and families.
Michigan’s Standard Practice Guide Policy regarding hiring to the university indicates every employee is subject to a background check.
