Former Michigan football staff member Connor Stalions is the subject of a new Netflix documentary that launched Tuesday.
The project, titled “Untold: Sign Stealer ,” examines the Wolverines’ sign-stealing scandal and the role Stalions allegedly played as the point man behind the scheme.
While the documentary does reveal how Stalions went about deciphering and memorizing opponents’ signals, one thing it doesn’t show is the ex-analyst apologizing.
“I don’t regret a thing, and I would do the same thing over again,” Stalions says in the film, via FOX Sports’ R.J. Young .
A lifelong Michigan fan, Stalions began decoding opponents’ signals back in 2014 as a student assistant coach at Navy. While serving in the Marines from 2018-2021, he attended Michigan games on his own dime and helped steal signs.
After being hired full-time by the Wolverines in 2021, he expanded his operation.
“I recorded myself doing probably 2,000-3,000 signals,” Stalions said . “When I was done, I uploaded each photo into my sheet where it belonged. I developed my own database, which is the next evolution of my gameday sheet. Instead of memorizing words, I was memorizing pictures. I would say that is the No. 1 reason why I became as good as I did at deciphering signals.”
While he details all of his sign-stealing in the documentary, Stalions is adamant that he did not cheat, but instead went about uncovering opponents’ tendencies and messaging through legal methods.
“I’ve never advanced scouted,” Stalions said. “I obtain signals the same way every other team does. What sets me apart is the way in which I organize information and process it on game day.”
Michigan has officially received its Notice of Allegations from the NCAA on the sign-stealing investigation, and it’s possible the program could be sanctioned down the road.
Stalions, meanwhile, is now coaching high school football in Detroit.
