Glenn "Bo" Schembechler
 
:( Not confirmed by any media sources, however their are reports off Channel 7 that Bo has passed away. As a UM fan, I'm truly sad and thought nothing couldn't put a damper on tomorrow...but he would want the game to on.

Former University of Michigan football coach Bo Schembechler was transported to Providence Hospital after a medical emergency Friday morning, a Southfield Police Department official has said.

RIP Bo....

I originally thought Ohio St would win the showdown tomorrow, but with emotion being such a huge part of college football, I believe Mich is the play. Bo was an original. RIP

I shook hands with him when they played Indiana years ago. I was just a kid but I still remember how scared I was. I dont remember a thing he said during his luncheon, but I certainly remember being scared.

he couldn't let Woody coach this one from above all by himself I guess.

there was a guy between he and Carr...name's on the tip of my tongue
Moeller? didn't last long
can't believe Carr is on the "hot seat", maybe it's just media talk
but I think he's done a helluva job
yeah I think this'll give the Wolverines an extra bite tomorrow
for the old coach

Gary Moeller was his name. He got fired and went to the Cincinnati Bengals to coach and he got fired there. Not sure what he is now doing.

had an incident with the booze at UM....can't remember if it was a DUI or what.

His son Andy is still the UM offensive line coach.
