game with his former Miami teammate and friend, Bill Gunlock. The university's Regents approved a plan for the renovation and expansion of Michigan Stadium on the day of Schembechler's death. On November 21, 2006, the University of Michigan held a memorial service for Schembechler in Michigan Stadium. Approximately 20,000 fans, ex-players and coaches including former Schembechler player and assistant coach and then LSU head football coach Les Miles were in attendance, as well as former Ohio State head coaches Earle Bruce and John Cooper, along with then Ohio State head coach Jim Tressel and staff. Schembechler is interred at Forest Hill Cemetery in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Before his death, Schembechler had agreed to be an honorary pallbearer for former Michigan Wolverine and University of Michigan alumnus President Gerald Ford. Ford, himself a center at Michigan in the 1930s, died on December 26, 2006.

Upon telling his father what happened, Matt said "that was the first time he closed-fist punched me. It knocked me all the way across the kitchen."
