Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh spoke to reporters Monday for the first time since the Big Ten suspended him from game-day coaching duties for the rest of the regular season, and he came out swinging after his team beat Penn State without him Saturday.
Harbaugh raised eyebrows by suggesting his team should be hailed as “America’s team” as it navigates the obstacles of a sign-stealing scandal.
“It’s gotta be America’s team. It’s gotta be America’s team,” Harbaugh said of the Wolverines. “America loves a team that beats the odds, beats the adversity, overcomes what the naysayers, critics, so-called experts think. That’s my favorite kind of team.”
