I don't think I've ever seen a coach talk about his players' parents as much as Jim Harbaugh. Congrats to him and to his constant acknowledgment of the families who have supported and sacrificed for those kids.
i heard him talk a few weeks ago on michigan recap or whatever it is called on Sunday mornings after a game, that in recruting he sees waht the parents are like and recruites people with parents who have a good attitude and teach the kids the right mind farme.
That's really interesting. Sounds like he looks for 5 star parents@@Johnadams20760
Smart tactics. Who do you think makes the multimillion dollar decision of where to go for these 18 year olds at the end of the day?
Well… they did let their young sons have sleepovers with the guy. I guess he appreciates that.
@@gt3223 ehh shut up hater suckeye GO BLUE get beneath
Not gonna lie I had blinders on all year, but last night we saw who the best team in the country is and has been. Hats off to Michigan.
You'll get your shot when Texas comes to Ann Arbor this fall.
@HeartlessWon506
Seeing the Burnt Orange line up against the Maize and Blue in the Big House next September is an example of why College Football is the best sport in the universe. It'll be awesome.
I think that's what's frustrating. Why did you even have blinders on in the first place? Michigan fans like me have been telling people like you ALL SEASON that Michigan is the real deal. Now all of a sudden you see it? Ugh! I feel like a broken record.
@@WeFreestyleForeverbro, he’s trying to admit he was wrong, just accept it
What has made Michigan a great team is they are a family all of them not just star players all of them! Listen to coach Harbaugh in the locker room it isn’t this guy or this guy it’s all of us that make up the team!!! Not just the team the coaches the families are all part plus fans, coaches, staff etc. Michigan was playing against everyone and they deserved this! #1 Michigan is #1 for a reason! GO BLUE!!!
Bama fan here, Wanna congratulate Harbaugh and Michigan on your Championship, you guys definitely deserve the respect and that Natty, happy for your fans and them getting that Natty. 👍 👍 👍
I massively, massively underestimated how classy Alabama fans would be, even in loss. 🤝🤝 Y'all are a self-respecting, decent group of people.
Thank you, Kenneth! I agree with Retriever! Bama fans are classy, respectful, and respectable!!
@@RetrieverMan thanks bud, appreciate that, hope Harbaugh stays and it's great to see that you guys got over the hump with beating Ohio state and now their coach seems like will be on the hot seat if he loses to you guys for the 3rd or 4th straight time. 😉 btw ... what the heck is a buckeye ??? looks like a peanut with a big bubble head, not to be rude but their is some very interesting mascots in CFB period.
@@jamieduncan6346 thanks Jamie, it was Ohio state for so many years, your fan base has had alot of heard times and disappointment, glad to see the buck fans looking at your success now over the last few years 👍
@@kennethfulk8312 😂😂 I think a buckeye is some sort of poisonous nut, however, many Michigan fans agree it's the rear end of a male deer. Good luck to you and yours, and have a great new year!
"Don't get bitter get better"-beautiful
People will always have haters, but the better you are and more you win, the more haters you will have. Love JH. Leave or stay he will be remembered forever. 〽️
They won this for each other. They won this for their school, their families, their coaches, the alums. They won this for every fan in Michigan Nation.
Thank you to the Michigan Wolverine football team!
Agreed 💯
Awesome thanks for your service to each player/and their families
I was an intern with the 49ers when we lost the Super Bowl and I remember Coach personally unloading a box truck of luggage for the whole organization and their families for at least an hour or so the day we got back from the game. His line about finding a job to do instead of being bitter reminded me of that. I’m so happy for him and his family and all of the Michigan fans/team
Jim Harbaugh was the kind of guy who could coach D1 college and professional football but still feel the need to sit at the kid’s table.
Wow!! This guy is the real deal. His family love is admirable. JH is a true blessing and a true leader. It's great to be a Michigan Wolverine!!! Go Blue!!
he cheated
@@ryansmith2772Grow up
Get lost, Ryan.
@@scranberry6536 Michigan fans forget everyone will remember this season as that last season Michigan won anything but they had to cheat to do it
Go Blue! hater tots gonna hate with all their skeletons in the closet with their favorite program, its a glorious season ! Go BLUE!!!!!
One of the rare times Coach opened up, great interview!!
Michigan fan here, this is the most down to earth, focused Harbuagh interview I have ever seen, sure hope he stays
Agree 💯
I'm not a Michigan fan, but I am Niners fan who is still grateful for what that man did for us. Couldn't be happier for the guy.
Jim is a way better coach then saban Meyer or any of those jackasses if he had alabamas talent have mercy on everyone else he would have 5 year winning streaks the best part of it is the reason he’s so great is love for his players “nobody cares how much you know until they know how much you care” who’s got it better then us nobody
@@evanleney-vb6sw Harbaugh is obviously a great coach, but everything turned around for Michigan when Urban Meyer left Ohio State. Urban was 7-0 Vs Michigan (4-0 VS Harbaugh) Then when Ryan Day took over for Ohio ST Michigan finally started beating them and they took the next step to winning a national title
@@ryanc9888 fine but urban took over at what level? Jim built the program from a 4 win team he did it at Stanford he did it at sdsu he did it with the 49ers this Michigan campaign as crazy as it sounds actually took a exorbitantly long time to materialize by Jim’s standards he often goes from the bottom to top in less than 4 years what other coach can take a team in the dumps to prominence in under 5 years.
@@ryanc9888 urban like saban paid players…neither won in the NFL …
@@ryanc9888Urban didn’t leave Ohio State. He was fired amidst a scandal that the university did everything they could to hide. The dude was a walking scandal and they knew it. The guy is a narcissist and is about as classless as a coach could be. They knew all of this in Florida and that is why he got dumped there. I call him Urban Liar because that is what he is. Harbaugh is real. I can’t see him going back into all that woke nonsense in the nfl. Besides that, most of those players are head cases and you can’t motivate them. I don’t watch pro sports anymore because they have become a pack of losers in my opinion. Harbaugh brought sf out of obscurity, but as soon as they had notoriety they became a complete mess.
Best part of this game is wen his brother john suprised him on the sidelines and they hugged.That was awesome.
The way Harbaugh stood up about to throw down lol
Till this day as a 49ers fan I hate the front office and owner Jed for running Jim out of town.. congrats Jim we love ya coach!
with you bro
At least they ended up with Shanahan I guess
I have a feeling he is the next Commanders coach.
@@Mercenary-1914 Bears*
@@DKODA97 y0...I honestly can see that!
So great, Jim acknowledging the parents and the moms driving to practice over and over to contribute to their child's dream. Very classy, well said, well done, Hail to the Victors!
Not even a Michigan fan and honestly I'm liking Jim more after these interviews. He's a likeable character.
That’s what U of M molds you into. If you notice all his players that have been interviewed sound like him. Exceptional young men.
@@orenthaljames9670 I've been noticing that too. They talk with a humility, class, selflessness and unity rare among athletes these days. That's what a great coach and school will give you. Couldn't be prouder to be a part of the Michigan family right now
@@calex901Michigan fan here and I couldn't agree with you more. I love the character he has built among these young men. He is such a great coach and a great human being. Watched another interview with both Harbaugh and Washington coach Deboer, before the final game. I see many of the same traits in coach Deboer too.
How can you not like this guy?! He’s 💯 authentic
Exactly like my own dad
Harbaugh is the best. This is a Great Man. Awesome interview. Thank you, Coach Harbaugh, for bringing us this glorious national championship, this team, and this season's experience as a fan. Love this man.
I love Jim Harbaugh. I'm a Gator, but it doesn't matter. He's an awesome coach and more than that, he's an awesome person. Congratulations!
Wow. This man is so honest.
As a Washington fan and a Seattle Seahawks fan, I am well acquainted with Jim Harbaugh. I haven't always liked him, but he is a great coach. Congratulations to the Michigan fans, players, and coaches.
I'm looking forward to more games vs Washington, besides michigan, I like the huskies uniforms the most
@@gowolveriness purple is such an unique color for a team. Usually red, or black, or white.
@@gowolverinessWe'll see you at Husky Stadium in October.😉
Thank you Jim Harbaugh and hail to the victors!!!
Harbaugh was the QB of the Wolverines when I was in Ann Arbor. So gratifying to share vicariously in his success finally materialized. Very inspiring.
Thank you, Jim! You did it and us Michigan fans will never forget it. What a coach
Best Michigan coach of all time, you did it Jim you’ve accomplished what you promised so whatever your future holds you have my support, what you’ve done for my favorite program will never be forgotten by me and many others and wishing good luck to you and your loved ones and whatever your futures may hold is the only thing I can really do as thanks.
I appreciate what Harbaugh has done for our team but he's not better than Fielding Yost ... At least yet. Yost accomplished EXTREMELY too much far above Harbaugh to say he's out best of all time
@@Jam-City it’s between the two I give it to Jim because it’s much harder to win now then back when Yost was around, I mean the forward pass wasn’t even a thing yet when he first got there, but yeah he won some nattys and was coaching at Michigan for like 20+ years so its between the two. I think Harbaugh is the best Michigan coach of all time and Yost did the most for Michigan to be where they’re at today
Whether he stays or leaves
I will always be grateful for Coach Harbaugh, for all he did, and leading this team to a 15-0 season and the natty!!!!!!!
Wolverines baby!!!!!!!
Go Blue!!!!!!!
How do you not love this guy? He cares so much for his players.
I can't see him leaving but if he does, thanks for the run coach.
"There's haters, that like to eat the hater tots!" 😂Classic Harbaugh
Congrats Jim and all the players, parents teammates and coaches at Michigan
Pull down the banner, put the trophy in the case, mold the rings. We’re the best in the country. Thanks Jim
Mean put up the banner?
Great coach, great team, great season and great job, go blue
Congratulations to Michigan. Roll Tide!!!
Credit to Rece for getting Jim to dive deeper into the “kids’ table” comment. Harbaugh said that line in 3 interviews last night and never explained why he felt that way until Rece pressed him on it. Fantastic insight into the kind of competitor Jim is.
This man is genuine as they come and great for Michigan I hope he does stay! He is made for Michigan football! Bo would be proud he truly is about the team !
Absolutely love harbaugh man. Just totally himself 100% of the time, hope he gets a lifetime contract at Michigan, but eternally grateful for what he has done if he does leave. GO BLUE
Bama fan here saying congratulations to the Michigan Wolverines. Coach had his team on point and playing lights out. Glad to see them win a national championship. This was truly a great Michigan football team.
Keep yourself at Michigan Jim for more Championships moving forward.
Great interview! Congrats to all you legendary Michigan fans out there!! You guys had the best team in the country. It has been years since I have seen a defense that impressive. I hope he stays at Michigan for a lot longer.
Great interview, it brings forward the humanity of a win and the hard work of many.
Credit to Michigan - great season
Wish we could have had a rematch this year to get it, but we appreciate it none the less! Maybe next year we'll get to see that match up (I have a lot of extended family that live in athens). 🤞🏻 GO BLUE〽️🏆
Respect man. Already kno Georgia gonna be back in the mix next year. 💯
I was a foreigner studying in UMN 11 years ago. At first I didn’t even watch any American football game. Soccer has always been my fav. It was Jim Harbaugh’s 49ers and his khaki pants story that made me grow some interest in football. I then followed him to become a Wolverines fan, betraying my Golden Gophers😂But seeing him finally win a natty for his beloved Michigan made me so happy and relieved. Thank you coach, you’ve made football great.❤
A football mastermind right heee congratulations Jim Harbaugh you deserve it 💯
I don't want to lose this coach, Michigan pay him whatever he needs and wants.
They likely will, but he may or may not want to stay regardless.
Its not about the money he still has that itch to win a super bowl
He doesn't do it for the money. It's having a personal challenge. If he sees a Super Bowl as his next personal challenge, that's what he'll do. If keeping the U of M football program on top - that's what he'll do.
Sadly this isn’t a money thing for jim I feel like he loves Ann Arbor he loves Michigan it’s home and always will be But Jim is a competitor and having climbed to the highest peak in college football bringing us back he wants a Super Bowl I believe I hope he stays but if he goes thanks Jim for this 🏆
Unfortunately I think the NCAA and the crap they have been up to, will be too irritating and too much of a hassle to come back to. He's proven his coaching chops wherever he's been. Love Coach H, but I think he's as good as gone. My concern becomes the recruits in the 24-25 classes. GO BLUE...we did it!
lol it’s just funny how a couple of months ago espn and the media hate harbaugh now they love him since he won the national championship
Hypocrisy on full display by ALL: UM and sports talking heads.
well in mid september they got caught cheating.
@@matty9447 Exactly correct. But, ESPN had to eat their words, even the "crazed" Paul Finebaum when asked on ESPN today if Michigan is better than Georgia said, yes, Michigan is a better team than Georgia. They are the best college football team in America. We all really knew that, but when the guy who gets his paycheck signed by the SEC and has to keep SEC fans happy says it...wow.
It's the old saying, "Don't believe everything you read." It's a lesson for all of us.
THIS JIM IS GLORIOUS WAY TO GO COACH 😊 I,M SO PROUD OF YOU
Longhorn fan for over 60 years here and congrats to the Wolverines on a great season. One of the things I really appreciated about Michigan in their games this season was their second half adjustments and their commitment to offensive and defensive line play. In the second half of the Penn State game, Michigan ran the ball on every down and put up over 260 total yards on the number one run defense in the country. That is 'smash-mouth' football.
And this same mentality was evident against the Huskies. And how good is that Wolverine defensive line? They rushed four and got pressure on Penix all night long against a Moore Award Huskies offensive line. It was a thing to behold. I hope Sark was taking notes...
Great interview. Reece Davis, an absolute pro.
Davis who snarkley said in the fall about Jim and Michigan - "Those who stay will be suspect." So I do not have much to say about him.
Never followed Reese much, but definitely agree he is great. Glad I got to experience it.
Facts. Harabaugh doesn’t open up to strangers like that💯 rece davis is really good
So ESPN drags this mans name in the mud all year and Jim is humble enough to sit down with them.Says a lot about the man's character
Jim hope you dont leave but if you do as a lifelong fan of Michigan and you, CONGRATS Coach Harbaugh and Team 144. 1000 wins, beat 0SU, Win 3 str8 Big 10 Titles and now a Natty.
1004 wins xd :)
Rose bowl champions as well
Congrats Jim Harbaugh - you proved your team was the best - and why you are a great coach. All that's left is to win a Super Bowl - hope it happens.
jamesrawlins735, For me, I hope he stays. This is home.
So much admiration for you Coach Harbaugh!!!!
Watched three Michigan games this year and this by far their best performance. Almost perfect. Congrats to Harbaugh and the team
Came here to watch this as a Raiders fan. Finished watching this video with amazing advice in life. Thank you Coach. Don’t be bitter, get better.
The most EARNED National Championship in Cfb history. Bar none. GO BLUE
LOL 😂
@@gt3223 laughing because you think you know says a lot about you. In ways not even you understand. Quite embarrassing tbh pal. Grow up
I love when he gets interviewed, he always all over the place with his answers 😂😂
Great guy
How can you hate on this man??? Finebaum looks bad on this one....Has to be something to do with his will, and unwillingness to compromise to the outsiders. I love JH and wish him the best wherever path he chooses, what an incredible era! Go Blue!!!
Did you see Finebaum's response to this win? I actually like Finebaum now lol. He turned a new leaf and gave Michigan great respect!
@@coreywithanena, if Michigan lost by 1 point from a bad call by a ref….he would have said all the negative stuff he’s been saying all season. Finebaum only says good things if you win
Dominant dominant coach! He knows how to rally those kids and build a culture! What a season! Go Blue!
Jim Harbaugh is so blessed to have such wonderful parents and be best friends with his brother John. That clearly keeps him grounded. He has character. God bless him!
For anyone who has unfairly judged Jim Harbaugh (like myself) based on what we've heard or because we've judged a book by it's cover, watch this interview. Rece Davis does an incredible job of putting Harbaugh at ease, allowing us to see what this man is truly made of... Greatness.
I’m still emotional . This all felt like a dream last nite,this morning it became a reality. I knew this year was our year #gobigblue I sure hope he stays not only he a winning Coach, he is a very successful on both levels College/Nfl ,that’s hard to do Period… He also have built Michigan football back up So…… I’m 🙏🏾he stays
Harbaugh all the happiness you’ve brought us here and now a national championship we are incredibly grateful for you. I hope whatever your next career path is, is exactly what you’re looking for. Ps we hope it’s in Michigan
Coach Harbaugh leading the University of Michigan football team #144 to the National Championship. What Awesome 2023 season!
Who's got it better than us?
Nooobody!! Go Blue Baby!!!
Great coach! Real authentic & simple old fashioned in these modern times.
God Bless you Jim 🙏 well done 👏
Harbro with the clean 3’s 🔥
🤔
Whatever he wants for his future , I wish more of the same he has brought to Michigan; SUCCESS
Loved Jim from his college days and again with the Bears...cheered for him in San Fran and held the faith as the head coach at Michigan. Tremendous football talent right there...congrats Jim and thank you for a season I will take to my grave. Forever GO BLUE!
Total class act. Incredible.
Congratulations to Michigan!
How do you not love this guy!
Michigan loves you Jim. Please stay home.
I love this interview ❤
An awesome interview 🤜
Thank you coach
Great job Jim
Glad you see the big picture.
Appreciate your sacrifice , your words are very correct, I feel the same, no more hatter tots from everyone, God bless everyone good of the world
Jim is the man
That has to be the most straight forward answers Jim has answered in a public setting, loved it.
Can’t believe he finally won it lol didn’t think it was possible with saban kirby and dabo.
I know. I can't hate. We win enough. Roll Tide!!!
"They keep eating their hatertots and haterade" LOL Coach Harbaugh is the GOAT. HAIL!
Best harbaugh interview I’ve seen in a long time.
Yoooo… this is a GREAT interview!
Great interview
Jim is a great man.
This is the guy that NCAA wanted to punish for a hamburger.
This is the guy that Pete Thamel defamed to make a name for himself. What a small man he truly is.
pete thamel is a clown
What do you mean about punishing him for a hamburger?
Go blue!!! Best luck to you Jim at the NFL!!!!! What a great football team.
A true Michigan man. Hail to the victors and all conquering heros! Go blue!
Congrats coach!
hater tots and haterade 😂😂 he’s got some phrases man
Thanks Jim. It was a great run and you restored our program. Best of luck in the NFL and I will now have a favorite team in the NFL.
I think it’s 50-50
Whether he leaves. It’s not like he hasn’t proven himself in the NFL. He has 1000% bringing the 49ers to 3 straight nfc championships and a Super Bowl
He did say that he is looking forward to Ann Arbor in the spring after the game.
IF he goes NFL I doubt he will be in AA in the spring........
I'm hoping he stays home. Whatever the issue is, they should be able to settle it. Sometimes someone has to bite the bullet and make it happen.
His children are at or nearing high school. I’d have a hard time uprooting my kids, especially when I don’t need the cash.
Do what are you guys going to do with overpaid Ryan Day?
@@Andy-cj7bu yeah hopefully. I want him to stay but the question is, should he stay?
I relate to Harbaugh so much. Love that guy.
Love Harbaugh, dude bought that hat though right off the clearance rack like a boss lol. 😍😍 #GoBlue
I noticed that as well 🤣
He likes the old block M over the new. Can’t remember him wearing any other.
Old school.
Don’t be bitter, get better, and find some work to do.
- Harbaugh
I love this simplicity…and it’s 💯 true. From boys becoming grown men. It’s universal.
I am impressed ❤
Moms are superheroes. Love it
congrats coach
Honestly a genuine person, rival or not Harbaugh doesn’t deserve the disrespect and negativity he gets. How could parents not want a coach like that leading their kids. We already know why the ncaa is after him
Love that attitude "find work."
We need statues of these great coaches at each arena
Rocking the Jordan 3s fresh 🔥
I love my coach!!!
Waiting for you coach⚡️⚡️
Congratulations to Michigan 🎉 Jim did okay 👌 😅
Michigan players across the board looked more ready than Washington
