This is gonna be awkward, but Jim Harbaugh knows that.
After stating multiple times that Michigan football seemed to be at the beginning of something great following the win over Ohio State, clinching the Big Ten Championship, and making it to the College Football Playoff, Harbaugh suddenly appeared to be on the way out, seeking a chance to be the head coach in the NFL once again.
He was all but gone, but then the interview took a weird turn halfway through — though details are fuzzy as to what actually happened.
Now he comes back to Michigan having to galvanize the team after having nearly left it, and he’ll have more work to do with those in the fan base who didn’t appreciate the Wolverines playing second fiddle to the NFL.
Harbaugh spoke to New York Times bestselling author and Detroit Free Press columnist Mitch Albom and explained his side of things. Here are some excerpts of what he said, boiled down to straight quotes.
