Glenn “Shemy” Schembechler resigned three days after being hired as a Wolverines’ assistant director of football recruiting because his social media activity had “caused concern and pain for individuals in our community,” the school said Saturday.
The hiring of Schembechler, according to the News, would have been subject to a background check required by Michigan’s Standard Practice Guide Policy. The guide states: “This policy is intended to support the verification of credentials, criminal history, and other information related to employment and appointment decisions that assist the University in meeting its commitments.”
The News reported that Harbaugh and Manuel learned of Schembechler’s social media activity on Friday. By the next day, he had deleted more than 2,000 retweets and “likes” from his account, which he deleted entirely Saturday night, the News reported. A 25-year veteran scout in the NFL, Schembechler spent a decade with Washington and most recently was the Northeast/Midlands scout for the Las Vegas Raiders, who fired him and two other scouts in February. He joined the Raiders in 2019 and had also worked for the Seattle Seahawks and Kansas City Chiefs.The Schembechler incident continues a string of negative headlines for the Michigan football program, which has appeared in the College Football Playoff the last two seasons.
