FRISCO: Jim Harbaugh, the head coach of the University of Michigan Wolverines, was present at his brother’s
playoff game on Saturday afternoon in Baltimore. Troy Aikman was also present, having covered the Houston
Texans visit, which resulted in a 34-10 victory for the Ravens on ESPN. Furthermore, if you “listen between the
lines,” you’ll see that Aikman not only supports Harbaugh as he mulls taking a coaching return to the majors, but
you’ll also hear him somewhat prophesy that the move will take place.
With regard to Jim, the brother of Ravens coach John, Aikman exclaimed, “I hope we can see him in the NFL next
year.” “He’s going to turn someone into an incredible football coach. Everywhere he went, he came out on top.
Naturally, Jim’s good friends at Michigan, where he recently won a national championship, believe he would be a
“heck of a football coach” if he stayed in Ann Arbor.
Regarding Harbaugh’s record, both in the NFL and in college, Aikman is accurate. In addition to cheering on his brother John, Jim Harbaugh attended the event with a few of his children and conducted follow-up interviews after meeting with the Los Angeles Chargers and the Atlanta Falcons.
Bill Belichick is supposedly the front-runner for the Falcons, and it makes sense given Harbaugh’s connections to both the Chargers and Los Angeles. The lingering impression that Harbaugh is trying to sweeten his agreement at Michigan by using the NFL as leverage may be justified.
