A local high school coach also said Schembechler's record in education is less impressive than the one he has compiled on the field. "I know a num- ber of young players who have played there and while I don't take their word "00 percent, some of them have questioned the emphasis on education," said Detroit Cooley High School head football coach Ernie Thomas. "And in some cases, (education) hasn't been stressed. I know of an athlete who had run-ins with Bo regar- ding the books. The player would say, 'I've got to go to the library,' and Bo would say, 'It's practice time,' " he said. "In some cases it will come down to that. I know that it has happened. That one person has since graduated, but he said, 'I had to make a choice and I'm not playing much so I've got to study.' He wasn't stripped of his scholarship, but he was in the dog house." Several current team members said, however, that Schembechler does everything he can to help them on and off the field. "He wants you to get your degree fir- st and foremost," said Kerry Smith, a senior running back. "He'll help you to do it if you need tutors or whatever." Senior offensive guard Stefan Hum- phries, a standout in the classroom as well as on the playing field, described Schembechler as "very pro- educational. That's one of the things that encouraged me to choose Michigan." If a player doesn't make the grades, Schembechler sees to it that they pay for, and do not repeat, such an in- discretion. "He's got a mandatory study table if you get a 2.0 for a term," said Al Sin- cich, a junior defensive lineman. "You have to go two hours per night. That's very good." The fact that Schembechler keeps a firm grip on his players both on and off the field is nothing new. During a spring practice a couple of years ago, the Wolverine coach rallied his troops around him at the end of the day's workout. "If you've got problems making training table, you see me," he told them. "If you've got problems with a class, you see me. If you've got problems with your health, you see me." To this a Michigan player quipped, loud enough for everyone to hear, "If we've got woman problems can we see you?" No, Schembechler didn't care to ex- tend his influence that far. "He was like a father," said former Wolverine Morton. "When you're 19 or 20 you think you're a big boy, but he'd still lecture you. He kept a fairly tight rein over us to keep us out of trouble." To Schembechler, keeping his players out of trouble means keeping them away from the wrong crowd-usually defined as pesky repor- ters, sneaky agents, and students of- fering strange cigarettes and pills which cause funky visions that aren't, heaven forbid, of X's and 0's. T THOSE WHO know him best say Schembechler has become more personable with outsiders since he had quadruple bypass heart surgery in 1976. "I think he's mellowed a little bit," said senior quarterback Steve Smith. "People see the outside, hardcore Bo, theGeneral type. They don't see him in a meeting telling jokes. "He recruited me personally. Before I visited, I didn't want to go here," said Smith. "I'd heard that he was a hard guy, that he'd yell at you and stuff. The first time I walked in his office, he was smoking a pipe and he had his feet up on the desk, just laid back." Schembechler himself joked that his health problems altered others' opinions on him. "They thought to have a heart attack,. first you have to have a heart," he said. On a serious note, Schembechler said his difficulties with his heart have taught him to calm down a bit. "Well, I'm learning. I may be a slow learner, and I've been coaching 30 years. I know I can't keep it all in, but you have to pick your spots and let off steam." Still, things are never dull around Schembechler. When there is con- troversy, you can be relatively sure of two things-that he will either have an opinion about it or will be in the center of it fanning the flames. Within the last year alone, Schem- bechler has gotten into a heated argument with reporters over the way they quoted one of his players; threatened to kick a reporter out of his office for seeking comment on critical remarks made about the coach; declared war on the United States Football League; went beserk on the sidelines during a regular season game against UCLA, storming out onto the field and throwing his cap at a referee; and said that Michigan fans who booed as the Wolverines ran off the field at halftime of a game against Indiana could "go to hell." But the bottom line is that Schem- bechler's temper has not prevented him from becoming one of the top coaches in college foott resulted in middle guar game as was tempered Schembechi created.
