“Never been more wrong about anything in my entire life” LOVE TO HEAR IT!
As gracious as you’d expect a Michigan fan to be.
Maybe he was influenced by the fact JH spent 8 years trying to do what Saban did in 2. Maybe his expectations were set that by now, a great coach such as Saban would have won 5 championships over the same amount of time that JH has had.
Anyway Michigan did win it all. First outright championship (unshared) since 1948 so enjoy it.
Oh it's so great! AND he said Michigan would've won even if Georgia had made it this year. OH THE HUMANITY!🤣
AMEN
Paul Finebaum always pounds the SEC drum, until he can't. He said the same thing about Clemson in 2018.
It takes a big man to admit their fault.
Michigan is the most physical team I have seen in a long team. As an OSU fan I never thought they would beat us again. Not only have they beat us they have physically dominated us in a way we never thought possible. Made us start changing the way we do things. Have to respect that.
You clearly didn’t watch the 2021 season when UGA had a Top 5 defense all time.
@@VinnyTheTallsure but none of that is relevant to an Ohio State fans perspective nor is it relevant to the point he was trying to make
Respect
to be fair, we/ Harbaugh had to reinvent the defense 3 times! to finally beat osu. if it wasn't for Meyer, michigan would have had at least 5 bigten titles. however, if it wasn't for osu pushing us so hard, we probably would have never won the national title.
I am a Buckeye too and I will admit that Harbaugh and Michigan have brought PHYSICALITY and the Big Ten back in style! Ohio State needs to learn from Michigan now and change how they recruit players and get top quality offensive and defensive coordinators! Great post!
Best move Jim made was firing Don Brown and asking John for help with a DC. McDonald started it all but Minter took this defense to new heights. Hope Jim, JJ and Don stay to ride for another title.
Hot take: Jesse Minter/Mike McDonald was the 2nd best thing to happen since 2020. #1 is Ben Herbert. He doesn't get the recognition he deserves!
@@RedWingsninetyone you know Herbert is the heart and soul in AA for real.
Exactly
Don was holding us back
Listen this kid who is a savant his brain works on a different level I love him as a coach I'm talking about minter. He is going to win wherever he wants to go
Gotta respect when a man can admit he is wrong. Especially on a big stage.
I agree, the problem is he is wrong often and this is the first time he's admitted as much. I can't stand how he acts like he is THE authority on college football when he's just an SEC homer. Worst part about OU leaving the big 12 and going to the SEC is now I have to hear Finebaum on the sports animal 🤮
I am a lifetime BAMA fan and as far as I'm concerned Finebaum impressed me with his admission and what he said about Michigan. He doesn't need to sell his home or move from the south. I love the SEC and I am confident we are the best conference by our record of achievements. But! MICHIGAN WON IT ON THE FIELD. And no one should deny them their day in the sun. They deserve this championship. Harbaugh put together a team that will be remembered as truly remarkable. I, for one, hope he goes to the NFL! LOL
FINEBAUM... Speaking the truth and admitting you were "eventually" wrong about this coach is a class A decision. And hats off to the Wolverines. Great job!
Your point 👏🏻
That is the truth. Michigan won on the field. The if's don't come in to play.
You win the big games.
And if Kirby is like all of Saban's former assistants and allow himself to be made a b... when facing him, it's his problem, not Michigan's.
Starting next season, there will be no excuses. I'm actually glad the playoffs are being expanded.
You wanna win? You must run the gauntlet
My absolute favorite parts of this clip are hearing Finebaum admit he was wrong about Jim Harbaugh AND hearing him say that Michigan would beat Georgia. God that's beautiful.
Who's got it better than us?! It's great to be a Michigan Wolverine. Go Big Blue!!
Can’t believe I’m saying this, but respect to Finebaum for admitting his mistake
I don't I will never forgive him for what he has said and done to this university
GO BLUE!!!!
@@MasonDaniels-ef6mf Yup, Finebaum never even played sports.
Pwwaah....... whatever!
At least he doesn’t cheat like HarBlow.
@@JDashRider your tears are delicious
WHO'S GOT IT BETTER THAN US ..NOOOBODY
〽️〽️〽️
That was a great story.
A rare trait: admitting you were wrong.
How many people get on national TV and admit to being wrong? On multiple occasions no less. I’m a Michigan fan but respect to PF.
Grew up on Griese, Ty Law, Woodson, Wheatley, Toomer, manningham, since the 90s...whatever happens to Harbaugh.... thank ya!!!!! GO Blue!!!!!
I grew up on burgers, donuts, fries and Coke.
It's been a long time coming bro. From Lloyd Carr to the dark age of Rich Rodriguez and all the way until now, we're finally back to being champs.
Mannigham was in the 00s
Mee too
@@Dennis_Reynolds_Golden_God yes finally!! I love watching NFL games, and when I witness a former Wolverine do good like when Ty Law had 3 INT against peyton in the playoffs, or desmond kickoff return for TD in the SB, or manningham clutch catch against NE in the SB...now seeing Hutchinson doing great...yes ...FINALLY!! we are champs!!! I bleed Blue! Ya bleed Blue! Go Blue!!
I was a dyed-in-the-wool Paul Finebaum hater, but his willingness to admit he got it wrong about Michigan and the attitude he took about it was nothing short of amazing and it's opened the door to me actually liking the guy. If he can continue to show this kind of openness and humility, I will be eager to follow him in the future. This is the very definition of "man up" in my opinion. Mad respect for you, Paul Finebaum.
Seriously? It's not that hard to admit after you've been proven to be objectively wrong. He's not an analyst and I don't know why anyone would pretend otherwise.
Michigan finally got that monkey off their back. That Rose Bowl game was one for the ages. Setting up for an interesting '24 season....and the 12 team tournament. Can the Wolverines defend the crown?
Takes guts to admit you were that wrong. Respect and welcome home Mr. Finebaum
I can't stand Paul Finebaum, but you have to respect the man for admitting that he was wrong and not making excuses. He didn't bring up the sign stealing bs, or say that the SEC had a "down year." He just admitted that Michigan was better. Period. Thank you!
The BEST team won the National Championship. Go Blue!
Jim with the buffs on is crazy 😂😂😂😂😂 Go Blue my baby 💯💯
Harbaugh got to this point by going back to his roots which centered upon hard work and building a brotherhood culture at Michigan. He hired Sherrone Moore and Jesse Minter to compliment his already vast knowledge of the game while recruiting selfless players with potential that would play for Michigan. It was vital that all involved understood that being selected to be a part of the Michigan football program was an opportunity to be a part of something bigger than themselves....
THE TEAM...
THE TEAM....
THE TEAM.
The reason Finebaum didn't understand what Harbaugh was doing is because his knowledge of college football tops out at counting 5 Star recruits.
Not true. It's because Harbaugh didn't know what he was doing but he ended up lucking out when new personnel came aboard to help him. Besides, the five star ranking didn't start until 2002. Paul was 42 and he was knowledgeable about football by the time he was ten or twelve, unlike Harbaugh.
How true!
@@vernonfrance2974you must be a bucknut with those comments! You really know how to throw dirt! Jealousy?
@@vernonfrance2974 Lucked out with new personnel? You don't know what you're talking about lmao, the story is already known and clear that Harbaugh knew what defense he wanted so he went and got the personnel he needed to build it.
Harbaughs won at every level of football, Finebaum's only ever talked about it. Comparing their knowledge is a joke
@@vernonfrance2974 to be clear, you're arguing that Harbaugh lucked his way to three straight wins over OSU, three straight B1G championships, three straight playoff appearances, a 15-0 record with the top-rated defense in the country, one of the most closely bonded teams in the history of the game, and a national championship? All of that was just...lucky guesses on his personnel?
Okay, good. You go with that. The rest of us will be living over here in the real world.
I like Booger but what does Georgia beating teams two years ago have anything to do with 1/8/24?? Alabama beat Georgia. Michigan beat Alabama (and OSU and Washington). Why couldn’t they also beat Georgia? Nonsense.
Evenly matched teams often take turns losing to each other.
@@vernonfrance2974 Not sure how that answers my question…
Because he’s an SEC homer
Luck can happen on any given day!
@@banditsixtyfive3900 So Booger doesn’t actually think Georgia is better than Michigan, but they’ll just lucky?
I put a like on this when I heard Paul say he was wrong about Harbaugh.
GO BLUE!!
Yea Georgia definitely needs to stop losing to Bama every other year.
💯 accuracy....that is our Kryptonite ....Blitz Bama Blitz....as an Georgia fan since the 80s .Georgia visit Alabama in Tuscaloosa Al.....pre college playoff semifinals or the natty...at the end of the day SEC what count....bring in the natty....whether it my Georgia or Alabama ...or LSU.....congratulations to Michigan......Go Dawgs
Agree. But also, let Michigan play UGA’s SEC schedule and this is the only year from the past 3 they even maybe make the playoffs
😂😢
@@garretttjordan Uga's schedule is pretty weak sauce in its own right. They dont even play Alabama in the regular season.
@@MattBuild4we play Bama, Texas, Clemson, Tennesse, and Ole Miss next year...
As a MSU SPARTAN fan i always want them to get beat, BUT you have to admit he put together a good team and deserves that win !
😂Respect lil bro
@@ichiganade2071LOL
Michigan's defense was elite this year
WOW ! Didnt think i'd ever hear the contrition from Paul! Congrats to Paul for his comments. New respect for Finebaum!
Paul , you admitting to being wrong was actually one of your finest moments, Stephan A along with some others in broadcasting-could learn a lesson from your example. Thank you
5:02 Somebody on a secret hot mic called Finebaum a coward. 😂😂😂😂
🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
Wow
@@primeminister66 NO ONE WITH 2 BRAIN CELLS IS SUPRISED. NOBODY LIKES C MONTGOMERY BURNS FROM THE SIMPSONS.😏
Love to hear it
Lhhhhhh
Long time Michigan fan, two time grad and season ticket holder. I have to take my hat off to Paul Finebaum because he was very objective in his analysis here and duly congratulated Jimmy and U of M! Agree with the other gentleman that Harbaugh made tough decisions and got back to basics! All the hypotheticals that fans of other teams throw out there are irrelevant because they will never ever come to pass! Go Blue!
This is such a beautiful day watching and hearing Paul admit he was wrong.....At least he admitted it
I love that Michigan won. Having Ohio State having to live with the knowledge of the Wolverines being Big 10 Champs, National Champs, and the owner of Ohio State.
Jalen Milrose and Michael Pennix Jr. entered their Michigan games with a lot of hype and around 65 TDs and hugh stats.
In those 2 games, Michigan basically made them look like Josh Dobbs.
CJ Stroud Penix Milroe all could be heismans but they had to play a team with an NFL type defense 💪🏽〽️
Georgia loses to Alabama and Alabama loses to Michigan yet there are people saying Georgia would have beaten Michigan. No one was beating Michigan with that UM defense. In the discussion for the best overall defense in college football history.
Alabama lost to Texas and Washington beat Texas but Michigan beat Washington but Alabama beat Georgia.
don't play that game. you know it doesn't make sense. just b/c one team beats another or loses to another doesn't mean they can beat or lose to another team.
@@vernonfrance2974michigan beats all of em, so it doesn't matter
Thank you coach Harbough and the rest of the coaches. You made champions from your program. You also. Help those young men through lots of adversity! Congratulations, your 2024 National Champions! Go Blue.
Respect to Paul he manned up...that being said where are those crying ryans and little brothers lol they think the Titanic hit
Im a UGA fan. The fact they even asked the question is insane. Can we just let Michigan have their moment good lord what is wrong with ESECPN!!!!
Respect
What a way to welcome Washington into the Big Ten next year. It's going to be fun, Welcome to the Big Ten Wash, Oregon, USC, and UCLA. Congrats to Mich.
@DavidBrielmaier All four teams you welcome in won at least one bowl game this year. That's only one less than this year's Big Ten teams won .
May this first outright Michigan National Championship in 75 years be a harbinger of dominating Big 10 football to come. Including the four newest Big 10 schools. Welcome aboard Washington, Oregon, USC, and UCLA. Proud that you are joining the Big 10.
As a UM fan, it's always nice when a chronic skeptic finally sees the light.😉😁🏈
Great win for Michigan and what a way for Washington to announce their arrival to the Big 10. Congrats to both programs
I now have respect for Paul Finebaum
Thanks Paul, I have always valued your coverage. Your one of the best for a reason.
I fart for a reason.
Only ESPN would try and make an argument for the SEC and Georgia literally the morning after Michigan wins the national championship
😂😂😂 well they did cheat so
@@AliFrankTheTankcry some more buddy. 😂😂😂😂 while we pop champagne and polish up this shiny National Title.. 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
Next year won’t matter with 12 team playoffs. Michigan took advantage with no UGA and got it done.
That’s because Georgia should’ve been in and would’ve won
@@jerseyraider9618Shoulda, woulda? Couldn't beat Saban🤣
And they forgot when Harbaugh was at Stanford and built the program up to beat Pete Carroll and USC.
I respect and admire him for admitting he's been proven wrong and not making excuses or exceptions.
Georgia only lost once...this year. Michigan didn't lose this year. Georgia should've tried that and maybe they would've had a shot at the title. You can't give a trophy to a team who didn't even earn a shot to play for one.
yeah it's fine lol. he is paid to be a contrarian because that's what drives attention
Georgia lost to Alabama in their home state. Michigan beat Alabama in California.
@@sanddunestacker6110 Georgia had like three games they could’ve lost two bad teams. They just weren’t that great this year and we’re very beatable. There’s no reason why she wouldn’t have beat them the same way they beat bama
Georgia was banged up against Alabama!! They didn’t put the best 4 teams in. They are lucky this year wasn’t the 12 teams play off.
@@JesseHorton-fl4mland Michigan is coming. JJ and Donovan Edwards show all over again .
Never liked Finebaum but for him to take things back and show respect makes me give him some respect too
Michigan has always been a program based on physicality in the run game and defense... Winning the time of possession and flipping the field betting on the other team to eventually make the back breaking mistake... Michigan football is not high flying or enticing to the eyes compared to the teams that air it out week in, week out... Football... No matter what offense or defensive scheme you run has always come down to blocking, shedding blocks, tackling, tackling in space... Football is still won in the trenches... And the 2023 Michigan Wolverines reminded all of us.. what is old becomes new again... GO BLUE!!!
The real miracle is getting all those talented players to buy into the team concept.
Actually, the bottom line is not blocking, tackling, etc. It is scoring.
@@vernonfrance2974 Which you can't do without blocking or tackling.
@@vernonfrance2974 that worked out so well for washington, didn't it
Another DUMM Comment pal, keep 'em coming!
@@vernonfrance2974
I can't do nothing but respect a person that admits their wrong because for whatever reason it's so hard for most people to admit when they wrong.
I've been looking for this clip where Finebaum has to sit on air and have Michigan's title forced upon him.
Michigan home of cheaters and idiots!
How could you not believe in this team they were just dominant all year
Yeah, dominant against SO MANY tough teams. Play a cupcake schedule, cheat your way through the last 3 seasons and it's all ok! Nothing will happen! Wankers
Michigan won with sheer will and physicality! Udub got rocked all night!
Respect to Paul for being a decent person about this!
This is priceless. 😂〽️💛💙🏆 Winning a national championship for Michigan Wolverines ecstatic, shutting up Paul Finebaum, priceless! 😂〽️💛💙🏆
People are still talking about Georgia in this?! Georgia couldn't beat the worst team Bama has fielded in at least 10+ years. Georgia should've beaten Bama by double-digits - they didn't! Michigan beat that team, and would've dispatched Georgia handily.
Georgia doesn't belong in this conversation, not this year. They had their chance and blew it - get over it!
Georgia looked so poor the first half of the year, but Alabama actually played a decent game against Michigan and wasn’t half as bad as the Alabama team we saw last year. With that said Michigan would beat the brakes off Georgia if both teams are playing their best or their worst respectfully
Sick of georgia talk they lost get over it period
McFarland is spot on when he says the turning point was when Harbaugh finally fired Don Brown (about 3 years too late). Don Brown's overly aggressive defenses piled up stats against weaker teams, but when facing teams with equal talent (Ohio State, Bowl game teams), his defensive schemes were exposed. Kudos to McFarland for stating the truth.
Finebaum should watch the games and understand that Michigan football is how the game is supposed to be played. A program built on toughness, love of those players and coaches, and execution excellence. Watch the games Paul. Watch the games. Go Blue!
Paul had to take it back. He realized Michigan is the shape of a hand.
Nothing better than eating that classic HUMBLE PIE. Hail 2 the Victors
Please stop it Paul.. we don't need ur approval, keep the same energy. Go Blue 💙💙💙
Paul should have to apologize to Jim while shining his shoes and singing the praises of the B1G in front of the statues of Bear and Nick.
As gracious as you’d expect a Michigan fan to be.
Maybe he was influenced by the fact JH spent 8 years trying to do what Saban did in 2. Maybe his expectations were set that by now, a great coach such as Saban would have won 5 championships over the same amount of time that JH has had.
Anyway Michigan did win it all. First outright championship (unshared) since 1948 so enjoy it.
Ask me to be gracious after Paul spends a few years being gracious to the B1G. Paul deserves his lumps after all the trash he has talked, and he should take them gracefully. The SEC has Always cheated, and NIL is only now leveling the playing field. And Bama had a more talented team than UM this year, but still lost to the better, more well-coached team.
What I’ve said for a long time is that harbaugh is not liked by many people, so when something negative happens, like a rare Michigan loss, people line up to crucify him. They also knew that if he stayed he’d win the championship eventually so they had to get in their shots while they could.
Too bad he didn’t win that superbowl he reached in the nfl. Then he’d be less likely to go back.
Has there been a coach to win the college natty and superbowl?
pete carroll
Don’t forget jimmy Johnson Miami national championship and Dallas super bowl
Carroll, Johnson and Barry Switzer
FINALLY!!!! I think we might be able to be friends now Finebaum:)
I have to say, I respect Paul for admitting on tv he was wrong. Not everyone would humble themselves that way. He's a bigger man than I assumed him to be.
Harbaugh - great coach who surrounded himself with great coaches.
The IRONY of the fact that people whine about "if, if, if Georgia beat Bama, they would've won." But if Michigan loses to OSU and doesn't get in, do ANY of these analysts whine the same way for Michigan? The fact of the matter is this, if you're a good team you win the games you need to win. Georgia needed to go undefeated to be there, and they couldn't. Now live with it. GO BLUE!!!
Would have loved to have seen UGA vs UM. That would have been a great day.
Great question Saturday!!! Because I wondering the same thing .
But he's not lying 😂😂😂. We the best team in college football!!! Go Blue 🔵
And up here in Canada, so many parroting,”he cheated, cheaters win,….” ( all done by people I doubt have watched any games). J H proved he is a great coach. It’s obvious the players and personnel have followed his thinking and leadership. Congratulations to Michigan, well deserved, well earned. Complete shut down of Washington….. and yes they would have beaten Georgia and anyone else.
They would have??
I don’t believe so but we will never find out this year at least
Michigan is Canada's team.
Well, they did cheat. It’s on the record.
@@JDashRider anymore than any other team?
Back to the run game , RPO , and blocking and tackling
The thing that feels the best is, Ohio state will never be able to hurt us the way we hurt them the last two years. Because of the playoff expansion
That may be true bro moving forward. I enjoyed enough Wolverine tears for the better part of 20 years to last a lifetime. Congrats on the natty though.
They did make it to the playoff and nearly beat OSU
Told my brother Sept. 2 his Michigan Wolverines were the best team in the country after seeing everyone play. They made me look good.
Been waiting for those words out of Paul’s mouth. Truly relieving
Finebaum was on the anti Harbaugh wagon.....How could you ignore Washingtons total defense was ranked about 94th in the NCAA. Absolutely horrendous to win a NC. Their offense carried the season.
Last night gave up over 305 rushing yards a new CFP record.
The first quarter Michigan seemed to exhausted themselves with those big plays. Caught their breath in the 4th quarter.
How can you give Harbaugh credit for Washington being ranked 94th? That's why Michigan won not because of the mistake prone Harbaugh who killed momentum before the first half with a silly decision to go for it at midfield. He even admitted it to losing momentum, to his credit, when he spoke to the interviewer at half time.
Its a great day to be a Wolverine!
When you watch Finebum on his own channel, he doesn’t act fake like he does on this show. The smiles & chuckles are beyond fake, his whole act is cringe. Be yourself, man. Own up to it.
That was the best Defense I've ever seen.... And I watched all 15 games
4:57. Look at Greenberg's face.
UM may or may not have Intel. Everyone gets some. Michigan is just physically dominant. Showed it all year. You still have to perform and make real plays. Those young men earned that title.. period. Go Blue🏆
Don Brown was not at Michigan "for a long time." 3 years and when he was new everyone loved him. His problem was that he had a complete inability to adjust.
Yess was just thinking this and u made a great statement about "adjusting" he was awesome at first when he had the personal to run his type of blitz defense but when the experience and talent level dropped on the defense he didn't adjust with it
Like the avatar of Harbaugh wearing a pair of buff’s Ifkyk 😎
Couldn't figure out why so many thought "advantage Washington." I knew they'd make Penix miserable, and grind them into paste.
And this Michigan team would beat either of the Georgia national champions.
Thank you Paul, you admitted you were delusional and gave credit where it was deserved. Good man
😮 what just happened??? Did I just hear that???
Michigan is the undefeated champion!
It's actually nice to see one of these "experts" own up and admit they were wrong, he manned up and accepted he was wrong. Most others gonna come up with some nuance of why they were wrong and say "If it wasn't for this I wouldn't have been wrong."
Finebaum learned a lesson. God bless him for admitting his mistake. Best, Go Blue!
Good on Pete Finebaum to finally get his facts straight...
5:07 did I hear somebody say coward, wow!
As a Michigan fan, I thought he’d fail because the whole run and gun / solid defense model doesn’t seem to work that often. Didn’t see a lights out offense to keep up. It took him awhile but he succeeded. The program wasn’t in great shape when he arrived and it simply took awhile.
For the record, Don Brown was there 5 years. He wasn't even Harbaugh's first DC.
I can't believe what I just heard, the end times are near.
This is becoming a yearly tradition.
THANK YOU BOOGER! Why did they not remember how bad Don Browns terrible defense was.
Congratulations Connor, you deserve the trophy more than anyone else!!!🍺
Kudos to Paul , never thought id say that
Oh the humanity! GO BLUE! Lol oh Paul, you so CRAZY!
The only explanation when 3 stars beat 5 starts is THE COACHING.
He never had guts to admit he was wrong, he legitimately had no other option BUT to admit he was wrong 😂 😂 Everyone is laughing at him.
Finebaum start flapping those ears and get to flying...🤣
Honestly, mad respect that the guy at least admits when he’s wrong
Stop making this about UGA. Let Michigan have their moment. They went 15-0 and won their first title in 26 years.
Paul keep the same energy we need the hate to repeat next year
