Son of Legendary Football Coach Talks Michigan-Ohio State Rivalry (Replay)

On Saturday, the greatest college football rivalry continues when #3 Michigan visits #2 Ohio State. In honor of the big game, we wanted to re-release an episode from 2017 that we did with Shemy Schembechler, the son of Hall of Fame Michigan football coach Bo Schembechler. He has a bunch of good stories to share, especially since he now lives in Columbus, Ohio. This was one of Jamy's first interviews but the insights and entertainment value still hold up today.  Enjoy! Original show notes are below ...

Glenn “Shemy” Schembechler serves as the President of GES Advisory Company. Shemy has spent the majority of his life and professional career in the football industry, growing up as the son of legendary coach Glenn E. “Bo” Schembechler. He has evaluated talent for such high-level programs as the University of Michigan, the Kansas City Chiefs, the Chicago Bears, the Washington Redskins, and the Seattle Seahawks. In addition to his father, Shemy has studied under accomplished coaches Gary Moeller, Lloyd Carr, Marty Schottenheimer, and Joe Gibbs. They have all had an indelible impact on his career, and his ability to scout and recommend prospects. Shemy has been a part of many championship and playoff teams, and has been able to evaluate or recommend players that have gone on to Pro Bowl careers (Charles Woodson, Ian Gold and Tom Brady, respectively), as well as inductees into the Pro Football Hall of Fame (Joe Montana, Marcus Allen, and Derrick Thomas, respectively).

In today’s episode, we discuss:
