Was an American college football coach best known as the head coach at the University of Michigan, where he coached the Wolverines from 1969 through the 1989 season. Schembechler won a total of 234 games; only Joe Paterno and Tom Osborne have recorded 200 victories in fewer games. A consummate "coach's coach", Schembechler combined superb technical command of the game with a fiery disposition. Schembechler's Michigan teams were known for their fundamentally sound, physical, and fierce style of play. Under his watch, the Wolverines traditionally featured strong defense, dominating offensive lines, and a power-running attack. In the words of one commentator, Schembechler coached a "remorseless and punishing" brand of football.[citation needed] If he perceived a weakness in the opponent, his teams hammered at it time and time again. Though somewhat combative during games -- he was prone to sideline outbursts -- he was generally regarded by his peers as having great personal integrity. He coached at the major conference level for twenty-one seasons without a hint of scandal.
