His legacy at Michigan will live on forever 〽️🏆
Lmao. You clowns wanted him fired after his first 4-5 years
@@areyouexperienced03 Not me! I graduated from UofM in 2020 and gladly rooted for him and the team at most of our home games over the 4 years I was there
Just like Pete the Cheat's legacy at USC
@@areyouexperienced03cry you dork 🤣 2023 National Champs
His Legacy......... LOL........ The guy won one let me say that again ONE championship and now has a Legacy. WOW.....I see the bar has been set very low in Michigan.
The people who are most relieved that he took an NFL job are........the Ohio st coach's and fan base. He basically had turned Michigan into a semi-pro team....and there was no one in the BIG that could handle what he had built. I can assure you there is a tremendous sigh of relief at OSU and across the Big Ten conference.
Good luck to you, Jim. Michigan was in bad shape when you arrived and even worse during Covid. You turned the team around and I don’t have to state everything you did. Thank you for what you did at Michigan.
JH was exploring NFL opportunities after the 2021 and 22 seasons, before finally accepting the chargers job post-2023. i have no ill-will for JH - 3 straight wins against OSU, 3 straight Big 10 titles, a natty, probably gonna have 15+ drafted in April, etc
Yeah it's hard to be mad at the guy and he's left not burning any bridges but it sucks knowing the Michigan football program can only go down from here. It's inevitable as they took a Hall of Fame level coach and replaced them with a guy who's never done this before. Not to mention there is nowhere to go but down and considering Michigan has made things so difficult on their coaches in this new college football environment the odds are highly stacked against anyone taking this job and I think harbaugh knew it as well
@@arthurfonzarelli9828it depends how you look at it. "Nowhere to go but down" is very vague. "down" could literally be one loss and a national championship again. "Down" could be losing in the national championship game. 15-0 and a national championship are not sustainable things year over year. It doesn't have to mean the sky is falling and suddenly we're .500 or worse next season.
Thanks for everything, coach. Will be rooting for you.
Going be hella new charger fans , always been a fan and we finally doing something big since 1994
THe NCAA Drove him out too! We are Heartbroken but Happy for u Jim! I'm now a Chargers fan!! GO BLUE TOO!!!!! TY And Thanks for bringing us such Tremendous people in the Program! Donovan and so many of these great young Michigan Men has made me a better person! God Bless You!
Go BLUE!! Thank you Coach Harbaugh!.. Best of luck man
If any michigan fan thinks this is legit, I'm ASHAMED to be a fan with these people. Connor stalions spy glasses.
Big Jim Harbaugh fan, love his truthful deflection!! “There’s not a Lombardi Trophy in college football, I wanna take another crack at that.” Perfect!!
Seeing jim in chargers gear is still so weird I’ll miss him in Ann Arbor
He finished his playing career there and has been wanting to coach in the NFL again for a couple of years now.
I understand why he left. But I'm not over it yet.
Jim harbaugh is in extremely generous good dude. Keep in mind this is the same guy who has told all his players and staff that if they ever end up getting a woman pregnant and feel like they can't afford this responsibility to please contact him and his wife and they will adopt the child. Might be the most selfless act I've ever heard from another human being and just goes to show you how good of a guy this man is and why people like him so much
I’m glad you didn’t have to die either, Coach 😂
We will miss you at The Big House on Saturdays Coach Harbaugh but you have accomplished what you set out to do and you left on a high note! Wish you all the best, until the Lions play ya!
As a Buckeye fan: I respectfully will NOT miss him!😂😂but good luck to him! 🅾️🙌🏾
😂😂 Love the honesty, Go Blue!!!
One of the greatest leaders of our time. Keep in mind this guy has a top five NFL win percentage in the history of the game among coaches with 50 plus career games. Keep in mind also he did it without a pro bowl level quarterback. Look at the other names on that list and all of them have Hall of Fame quarterbacks running their team.
Kap had a short peak, but he was fucking awesome player for Jim for a couple years there, to be fair.
Loved Jim in SF.
As a Hawks fan I really wish the 49ers kept him because it made both teams so much better and those games meant more than the playoffs. Glad to see Harbaugh back in the NFL
As a Hawks fan...I am glad to see him in the AFC and not in the NFC or NFC West for sure. You are right that those were battles!
@@benjaminhutchings5721 I am very happy he is in the AFC haha
2 years ago he said he was done with the NFL. Said he was going to stay at Michigan as long as they wanted him.
Yup. And those who stay will be champions. And who's got it better than us (apparently a 3rd tier trash NFL franchise)
I know. I've had a hard time with his leaving and understanding it. I've been mad, sad, down, and hurt! How could he leave? I get it now. Jim builds programs and once that is done there is no challenge for him. Now he's moved on to tackle his NFL dreams! His new challenge.
Go be the leader and the best, coach!
I completely understand personal aspirations. I would have loved for him to be here till the end of days and be the next Bo but he has his dreams. What Coach H has done is nothing short of miraculous and has instilled a new confidence and ushered a new era where not only our glory has been restored but we are probably held in higher regard than at our peak before.
Go get the Lombardi coach! Thanks for the wonderful wonderful memories for this long suffering grad whose first game in the big house was the App state loss. Wolverine nation will be forever grateful!
Oh yes .. Charger's now have 2 "shining stars" Super skilled HC and QB. Gonna be a strong and precise team. Say goodbye to strings of 2 pt losses ✅
Great new DC too. Maybe the best. Definitely had the best D in college plus he has pro experience. Jesse Minter will be just as missed in Michigan as Harbaugh
Lets go coach⚡️⚡️
It's great that Coach Harbaugh's going after his dream. God bless! But I have to say, that block M hat looked a lot better on him. GO BLUE!
I was thinking the same thing when I first saw him!
Thank U
Not a Chargers fan. I’m a Jim Harbaugh fan. Why? Because the way he back slapped Jim Schwartz. I’ll be going to see them play at Sofi for sure
Not even a little…
Really sucks the Chargers aren’t in San Diego anymore
Charger owners are toxic.
Thank you Coach!!! A Michigan Man!!!
I didn't catch many games this year, but luckily watched or heard the important ones. I felt bad that I hadn't committed to watch a full season when they were doing so well. I don't feel bad about my level of committal at all anymore.
We all know that we have no shot at another Natty next year. We're mostly gutted. But hopefully they can build off of this experience and get back there again down the road with Moore.
Truth is Warde dropped the ball while the Chargers played a perfect game.
Go Blue! He telling the truth, we got this and always much love to JH and the Fam!
I'll cheer for Jim and the Chargers like I do MEEECHIGAN (almost), once that Superbowl hits 💛💙💪🏆
Doing the Pete Carroll run to the NFL.
Rich ARE you going to ask Jim for his parking space ? ....LOL
He says EVERYONE is a shining star. I’m sick of seeing his face. Go blue. Jim is a JA
The fact that he wanted to go to the NFL tells you something. Nothing that Michigan could have done to keep, I think the Michigan fans can accept. However, the fact that Michigan's final offer came after the interview with the Chargers is inexcusable. You knew that Jim Harbaugh for all his good qualities is a bit of a primadona. He needs to feel that he is loved and supported. Giving him your best offer upfront 2022 end of CY, would have gone a long way to feel appreciated. He still might have left but at least we can say that Michigan did everything to keep him. As is, I think that the Mich Admin is neither sufficient aligned nor proactive enough. I keep getting seeing picture of Inspector Cleuseau when I think of the atheletic department.
Go Harbaugh !
You know Rich's Harbaugh Hard On was at an all time high for him doing this interview lol
full Chubb
Is it just me or did he make his relationship with Michigan seem very transactional? For who he is, and along with his legacy at Michigan, I would’ve thought there would be a little more emotion.
It's a BIZNESS... They don't care about him and if he would have lost they would not care either...
As a former Charger fan I hate this. After being a fan for 15 years, even in LA, waiting for change and never seeing it, it felt like a toxic relationship
Dont hate, appreciate 😂
When TO retired, he said coaches only give that speech because they got fired or offered a better deal. Like Nick Saban, he didn't get a better deal.
It’s pretty obvious!!! 😂😂😂😂
So happy for him. He owed us Michigan folks 0 years of his time. Could’ve had it easy in the NFL. Instead he took a massive gamble on us and gave us 9 years, 3 wins over Ohio State, 3 Big Ten Championships, and a National Championship. Almost ruined his career in the process. He dealt with so much crap and ridicule during his time at Michigan, I’m just happy for him. He deserves this
Very true. Let’s never forget the Michigan fanbase wanted him fired after the Covid season.
Not me!
Jim Harbaugh wants to chase a Super Bowl win. Wait, he said it! Well, godspeed for keeping it real.
He seems to be the only person in the country talking about how great the Spanos family is. Seems pretty weird. Chargers fans and people from San Diego really, really dislike them.
It's all about the $$$$$$$$$. He would not leave Michigan if they could match the Chargers' contract.
I love Michigan football, and love Jim. But you can't blame him or be angry with the guy. He is very competitive and wants a challenge. He conquered the National Championship and he wants a Lombardi
When U of M suspended him that was what sealed the deal . When his own employer turned on him, regardless of what the truth is, that was it
I wish Harbaugh well in San Diego or LA, or wherever the Chargers are now, but I think he took a demotion in about every way except the $$$. Smaller fan base, less love, fewer national television time, less opportunity of molding young men, etc., etc.
Coach Harbaugh’s biggest accomplishment was leading a revival in having over 70 players baptized last year and succumbing their lives to a new life in Jesus Christ 🙌🏼
Go Blue 〽️
Did he not know that was his calling to stay at Michigan?
Love Harbaugh, tho he sounds like a guy who really all wanted the nfl
Michigans job was done one the natty. Passed the baton like he said he’s competitive and wants that next prize
Chargers finally correcting a mistake, when Marty Schottenheimer was fired.⚡️
It was time to go, he was not considered apparently when Rich Rod was hired as there was a grudge. Yet Jim was ready back then to take the helm in 2008, why did it not happen? alum and NFL QB with some successes, he was the preeminent prime candidate. Yet RR was chosen and derailed the program in 3 short years with a 15-22 record. Prior to this some scorn was thrown around publicly by Jim comments regarding Michigan's academic program for athletes (compared to Stanford's) that was seen as traitorous. After RR was hired/fired Jim may have said to himself he may never coach at Michigan for the comments and stayed at Stanford then went to the next logical destination the 49ers to show he could make it on his own making a new path for himself. Then Michigan called again.
Who gets Minter? His brother, Moore, or himself?
Himself
@@cammcnamee1592 John needs him now, too.tho.... with McDonald going to HC
@@Superfreq69 The Ravens already promoted Zach Orr. All reputable reports have Jesse going to the Chargers but I don’t think he has signed yet.
The real reason is him and warde Manuel hated each other.
As if we need to explain why he left college for the NFL which is where he had been desperately trying to get back to.
I don’t mind him taking minter…but why do you need Ben Herbert?? What is a college strength and conditioning coach gonna do for professional athletes
its going to help big time since the Chargers have always had bad strength and conditioning coaches that led the Chargers to be one of the most injured teams in the NFL
That’s easy…He was under investigation. He got out of there before he was “asked” to leave.
DA ..
So, would Jim ever come back to Michigan after winning the Lombardi trophy? Or does he stay in the NFL to establish a dynasty like Belichick or Andy Reid? We were certainly all hoping he would have stayed at Michigan and been the next Nick Saban in college football.... but alas, there is no Lombardi trophy in college...
⚡️⚡️⚡️
Go Blue National champs team 144! 15-0! We did it
They told him to find a new job due to the investigations
😂😂😂. He left because they were willing to hire him. You don't interview unless you want to leave.
Jim Harbaugh's priorities are avoiding being suspended, money and cheating.
Connor Stalions wants to know why Hairball won’t answer his phone calls or texts…and after all he’s done for the clown.
I was ok with him leaving until he raided the coaching staff, took the backbone of the program and left us vulnerable. Thats not what you want from a michigan man.
Can't blame him for tryna win
I have no ill will with him leaving, just don’t understand taking a college strength and conditioning coach with you to the NFL
look at all these salty Michigan fans coping hard. this is the problem with College football, that fans think every coach needs to give their entire lives to the program
😂😂😂 HARBAUGH
Well rich, it was time to BOLT.
plus, i dont wanna get in trouble for cheating..
because the cheater was gonna get nailed....duh.
Thanks for the Natty, coach! Hopefully, the Chargers win the SuperBowl...only if the Lions don't.
*Cheatigan
Every one knows that UM won the national championship mainly because its defense. and we all know strength coach Ben Herbert played a very important role. Now Jim H. took both them away from UM. Is it a Michigan man?
Yeah that was not the greatest look from old Jimmy. I was really disappointed he took mintor but it was inevitable. Taking Herbert away was a dick move to do to your school! Very disappointing.
@@stephengazzola1025 Jim didnt take anyone away from Michigan. Ben Herbert couldve refused Harbaughs offer and stay at Michigan if he wanted too
Because he knows the NCAA hammer is coming….
It feels a lot like when Pete Carroll went to coach in Seattle with looming NCAA sanctions.
It will be funny when nothing happens from the NCAA.
@@benjaminhutchings5721it’s Pete Carroll 2.0.
I hate this hire as a Bills fan. Just one more obstacle in our way now😡
Good luck, Coach.
Thanks for the Natty.
Please don’t beat the Lions.🦁
If they strip the natty then thanks 👍. Also sharone whoo? Gtfooh passing the baton? We will suck, and possibly be stripped of all wins plus a natty and you pander for “the first black coach” thanks wokebaugh
It was a joke. UM Wolverine was damaged.
Damaged because of why? Cuz he left? Well considering they were at the top of the college football world there's only one way to go from there and that's down. Any other damage you might be talking about was just nonsense talk bye people who like to complain. The guy said out to achieve a goal and did it and moved on to a different goal. Can't knock anybody for that
He left for NFL was fine, that was personal choice. But He took another two very important coach with him which really hurts the UM@@arthurfonzarelli9828
I guess the elephant in the room is invisible.
Signed: A Michigan Alum.
Jim screwed Michigan over big time. As a 10 year old growing up near Ann Arbor Harbaugh was my quarterback. Been my favorite since.
Jim should have taken one on the chin like a man, a head coach and an example for his responsibilities for his ncaa violations.
He tucked his head between his tail and bailed like a coward. Point blank bottom line.
Now he’s killed their future recruits and whatever else they have to face for his violations. A real man, a real coach would have stayed another year and be responsible for his actions.
For that, hope he fails at NFL. Trying to take every coach with him too,?? Seriously Jim? You’re about Jim and only yourself
He’s desperate to eclipse his brother. Full stop.
He NEVER has good explanations for anything 🤣🤣
I feel sorry for the Charger fans....3 years of crap......almost as bad as Pats..Jets... Miami Dolphins....you can watch curling for free......if you dont think the NFL is rigged......wellll....
Loyalty isn't in your programming, though, Huh. While I can appreciate your help getting Michigan going, you proved once again that you have no loyalty to anyone but yourself. I hope you never win a championship as an NFL head coach since you couldn't accept the great situation you had at Michigan. Another case of grass is greener syndrome. You will never, even with an NFL championship, replace the void of not winning a championship as a player...
So he can watch dudes take showers super creep
Because he got caught cheating and wanted to get out before the punishment was administered.
JH had it all at Michigan and he threw it away to become just another NFL coach that is hated by your fan base unless your name is Dan Campbell.
I don't buy the Lombardi trophy argument. Everyone knows the NFL is a dweeby league with dweeby fair-weather fans.
Because he was going to get a "show cause" and massive penalties from the NCAA....
Lol the cope since Michigan won the natty has been incredible
Some people just think they have all the answers!!! They won it fair and square!!! You must be from OSU mickelkobeck!!! Let go let God do what he wants to do! 70 Michigan players were baptized with this team this year! God was working with this team! You will never win fighting against God!!!
True story
And your salty because he took your team and bent them over 😂😂😂
@@mtredeker7294 CHEATER U....FOREVER TAINTED. the ASTERISK champs.
I'm not upset that Harbaugh left Michigan, but I am upset that Michigan took on a diversity hire as his replacement. I'm sorry, but Sherrone Moore's resume is extremely weak.
As an alum, I'm sad he left Michigan. We would have named him coach for life, built a 20 foot bronze statue of him in front of the Big House, hell even named him supreme god-emperor of the state with the right to sleep with any bride on her wedding night and name every first born son Jim.
The NCAA is ruining football…Harbaugh is a casualty of this debacle!
