The University of Michigan football staff just can't seem to stay out of the spotlight, and not in a good way.

On Monday, I noticed a video making waves on X (formerly Twitter) of a Michigan staffer yelling expletives at a Washington Huskies fan during their Saturday night game. The Wolverines suffered a 27-17 loss to the Huskies, a team they had beaten in last season's College Football Playoff National Championship.

We’ve come to learn that the staff member in the video is Michigan's Director of High School Relations, Chris Bryant. In the video, Bryant threatens:

Shut the f*ck up before you get f*cked up

to a Washington Huskies fan who was sitting behind the U of M bench.

The video was made viral by Washington's Barstool account on X (@Barstooolhuskies). According to James Yoder, Founder of ChatSports and popular Michigan football talk show host, Bryant's bio has since been wiped from the University of Michigan's athletics website.


The video of Bryant has amassed over 2 million views on X.

While there has been no formal statement from the university yet, the deletion of his bio is telling. Given the virality of the video, it’s unlikely that they are unaware of the situation.

If the Director of High School Relations has been let go by the Wolverines program, he is certainly not the first former staffer to attract controversy in recent seasons. Notably, Connor Stalions gained significant attention for his involvement in a scandal that even earned him a Netflix show. Additionally, Denard Robinson was recently fired following his arrest.
