In a shocking move, Glenn "Shemy" Schembechler, son of legendary Michigan coach Bo Schembechler, has stepped down from his role as the Michigan Wolverines' assistant director of recruiting.

Schembechler had only been on the job a few days before Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh and athletic director Warde Manuel made the announcement about his departure in a shared statement Saturday. 

Schembechler played in Ann Arbor under his father and later served as a gradate assistant at Michigan before working as a scout for multiple NFL teams.

Schembechler's exit comes amid scrutiny of offensive material that was found on a social media account. 

"We are aware of some comments and likes on social media that have caused concern and pain for individuals in our community," Manuel and Harbaugh said in the joint statement.
