Michigan’s Jim Harbaugh, who is in the midst of a three-game suspension, is not letting the time away from the sidelines negatively affect his ability to keep his mind sharp.
The 2022 Big Ten Coach of the Year has apparently opted to no longer use the football terms offenses and defenses. The Wolverines “Guardian of Victory” now bundling the normally opposite sides of the game under one uniformed moniker.
On Monday, WXYZ Detroit's Brad Galli reported that Harbaugh came up with this hilarious creation.
"There’s no offense. There’s no defense. It's a We-fense."
Jim Harbaugh said the job of a head coach on game day is to be the “guardian of victory.” Then he added this line:

Despite being prohibited from guiding his team over the first three weeks, Harbaugh has every reason to be in a joking mood following Michigan’s 30-3 east win over East Carolina in the season-opener.
Junior signal-caller J.J. McCarthy was sensational posting a 95.4 QBR on the strength of passing for 280 yards and three touchdowns. On the defensive side of the ball, the Wolverines kept the Pirates out of the end zone thanks to a swarming effort that only surrendered a paltry 132 passing yards.
Harbaugh, who will miss the next two games against UNLV and Bowling Green in Ann Arbor, is clearly happy with his new ‘We-fense’ after just one game into the 2023 campaign.
