But Harbaugh’s khakis are half full
Never fear Michigan fans, according to Harbaugh, he thinks the program is knocking on the door to breaking through some of those hurdles he has yet to clear. When speaking on the TK Show podcast with Tim Kawakami of The Athletic (subscription may be required), Harbaugh went all in.
When asked about falling short of expectations, Harbaugh agreed that it’s been a little tougher to break through more than anyone has wanted, but feels something is brewing.

“We’ve been to the New Year’s bowl games and we’ve had success on the field. But you’re right, winning that championship, making the playoffs, that’s something our players and our coaches are pouring our hearts and souls into. We’re determined to get there.”
“Always want to do better,” Harbaugh continued. “Striving to be the best. Right now, I think our team, we’re kind of on the cusp. We haven’t gotten over the top and into the playoffs and the championships, and that’s what drives us, what motivates us every day on the field. Every day working toward that goal.”
