I want to start out by saying that I am a Spartan, I bleed green and white. In my 60 plus years of watching college football I find it hard to single out a better coach than Bo Schembechler. One of the best motivators the game has ever seen. What I admire most about him was his old school uncompromising ethical standards. His programs were always clean . He refused to cheat at recruiting or take shortcuts. He truly believed that relentless hard work would always win out. I will always have great respect for this great Michigan man .

11/27/21 Bo Schembechler and Bob Ufer were definitely there in spirit.....42-27 GO BLUE!

I remember in 2006 when Michigan played Ohio State and we lost that game. I think that it took the breath right out of Michigan. It broke all of our hearts. He has been sorely missed these past years. I truly believe that if Bo would have been at that game he would have helped Michigan win. You will forever be the greatest man to ever coach at Michigan University. Everything was about the team and Michigan University. Everything he did meant something to him. He made sure that everything he did had a purpose. His life and his word was his bond. A fantastic gentleman off the field but a fierce Warrior on the field. I really wish I could have met this Tower of a man. May he rest in peace in God's arms forever.

Don't worry. We're back

Sometimes it's nicety come to this video just to hear his voice. I was born too late to see him coach and was still learning the game when he passed, but nobody who is not blood-related to me has had a bigger impact on my life than Bo. I truly envy those who were around to see him at Michigan.

Greatest coach ever!!!!!

THE TEAM.... THE TEAM.... THE TEAM...

At the beginning Bo says "I felt I was so much a part of Michigan that nothing would change that" More true words have never been spoken. As a die-hard Iowa Hawkeye fan, I can say Bo is as much a part of Michigan as the winged helmets or the Big House and he always will be.

Simply wonderful man! R. I. P., Bo! Truely had a heart of a champion!

Immortal words !

That was the best thing I have ever watched. Thank you.The Team.

For someone who was dogged with heart trouble since age 40, he was a superhuman to accomplish what he did and don't forget the confrontations with the officials which would have made any normal person with heart trouble keel over.

I met a older man at a northern Michigan post office. He was wearing a frayed Michigan cap. It had belonged to his boss in Ann Arbor and he got it after his boss died. His boss was a concrete contractor and his firm had won the bid for The Heart of a Champion building. Bo met him for lunch and bellowed "You aren't wearing maize and blue. Nobody works for Michigan who doesn't wear Maize and Blue!". Bo took off his cap and put it on his boss.

What did he ever do of value? You do realize that at that time there was no national championship game right. You won your conference played your bowl game if you won they voted who won the national championship. That's how it was back then. Officially Michigan has won 11 unofficially dating way back Michigan has won close to 18. That being said what Bo did with those teams and Michigan in general was way above football or sports in general. You see kids now get pampered at college then go to NFL only to be above the law mindset. Bo gave these kids life long lessons. Respect attitude to get things done and the will and determination to win at everything they did This is far more valuable than any trophy or stat. What Bo did for Michigan and its student base is unseen elsewhere and unmatched by any university in the nation.

+MojaveVenom123 Those are some wonderful platitudes that all programs who don't win titles hold equally dear. He was a great coach, but pretending that he was an all time elite based on your subjective ridiculousness is stupid. He doesn't belong next to Osborne, Hayes, Saban, Paterno, Switzer, Bowden as a college football coach. That doesn't me he wasn't good, but he was not an all time great.

CoreyV Haas All of the coaches I mentioned won national championships. Bo didn't. That's not subjective. I think the problem may be your poor understanding of what subjective and objective mean. Subjective: the kids at Michigan were super awesome people when Bo was there (completely unable to properly validate or compare to others). Objective: Bo never won a national title despite being at a school with significant recruiting advantages of similar schools that did. Michigan was an elite brand before he ever got there, and he never experienced the success that coaches such as Paterno or Bowden did without inheriting anything. I said Bo was a good coach, and he was, but he was not elite and I see no argument that could be made on that point.

We're getting ready to win it all Bo we're two games away from being the greatest college football team

We still miss you Bo but we know you are still watching over the Big House every game and you are with the players every game! Feel you even more with Jim back coaching! Thank you for all your years!!

We've had this conversation in the past but now we have HARBAUGH whom is the under study. BEWARE, those that don't believe in MICHIGAN TRADITION. This is MICHIGAN. TRADITION is the key to MICHIGAN when I was born and will always be until time runs out. MICHIGAN FOOTBALL has created legacy's of future MICHIGAN FOOTBALL players that will serve the main goal of winning the BIG 10 CHAMPIONSHIP.

Jim is doing exactly what Bo would want him to do. I had the privilege of working with Harbs during his last 2 seasons. He's a great guy who loves,the Meeechigan program and is bringing it back to prominence. Look out Sparty and everyone else. The freight train is getting ready to own the Big Ten.

The best video I have watched creating an excellent team and emphasizing the importance of team work!

He loved UofM so much. He gave so much of himself to those teams & to the University. He is missed. . .

I miss you Bo😢😢😢

Hmmmm... Let's see, an "empty trophy case" (as you contend), while his won/loss record at Michigan record of 194-48-5 and won or shared 13 Big Ten Conference titles. I ask you directly and honestly, sir; what would rather have? A trophy case "full" (as you define it)? Or, the honor of having coached at the greatest university in all of college football, be regarded as one of the best coaches, ever, carry the equal amounts of respect and admiration of both the University of Michigan, and his arch rival Ohio State, of every player he ever coach, or every adversary he ever coached against? My son attended two years of QB's camps, and everywhere you looked, everyone you spoke to, all of the alumni players that were in attendance, and the current head coach, had nary a single negative word to say about the man, ever. With all due respect, sir: I believe your measure(s) of success, versus what Coach Glenn E. "Bo" Schembechler achieved in his lifetime, are not even in the same world, by comparison.
