Jim Harbaugh Jack Harbaugh John Harbaugh Michigan Wolverines NCAA Connor Stalions Football Washington Blake Corum

HOUSTON — Jim Harbaugh emerged from the winning locker room with a Diet Coke in his right hand and joy in his heart. The Michigan Wolverines football coach extended his left hand for a series of middle-aged-man high fives to various friends of the program who were loitering in the hallway at NRG Stadium, then disappeared behind a door for the postgame interview after beating the Washington Huskies 34–13 for the College Football Playoff championship.

Harbaugh’s comments were his usual kaleidoscope of thoughts—all over the place, analogies and bromides colliding with each other, but consistently effusive in praise of his undefeated team.
