In the biggest game on Michigan’s schedule in 2016, Harbaugh did something every coach in America preaches against and lost control of his emotions.
Michigan had been playing well all day in Columbus and was leading the No. 2 Buckeyes 17-7 late in the 3rd quarter. Then the Wolverines were called for a defensive offsides and Harbaugh lost his cool, throwing his clipboard and slamming his headset to the ground.
A five yard penalty turned into half the distance to the goal and woke a relatively quiet Ohio State crowd. From that moment, the Buckeyes carried the momentum and went on to come back and stun Michigan, leaving Harbaugh 0-2 at the time against his arch rivals.
And the headset is still receiving counseling … as are Michigan fans.
