It sounds like former Michigan football coach Jim Harbaugh knew what Connor Stalions was up for the Wolverines after all.
There has long been a theory that Harbaugh didn’t have much of a connection to Stalions — who is infamously known for his role in the Michigan football sign-stealing scheme that gained national attention last year. However, on Tuesday, Netflix released its documentary covering Stalions and Michigan, and he said he once received a game ball from Harbaugh for deciphering the opponent’s signals.
Stalions is quoted in the documentary saying Harbaugh gave him a game ball from the 2022 win at Iowa in relation to sign stealing. It’s unclear if Harbaugh was aware of how Stalions was able to “decipher” the Hawkeyes’ signs — which can be legally done — but clearly, there was some connection between the two.
Check out the clip of Stalions talking about the game ball moment below:
