Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh usually gets pretty amped up before games and he’s been known to slap his players on the shoulder pads, among other things. Today, for the Michigan-Georgia game in the College Football Playoff Semifinal, the head coach at Michigan put on receiver gloves and was catching passes.

Check it out below.

The Capital One Orange Bowl is one of the most anticipated games in Michigan football history and the Wolverines have had an incredible year. It’s no surprise that Harbaugh is fired up for it and he should be.

These are the kind of games college football fans live for. Both teams will have a shot to go to the national championship and face Alabama.

It’s also one of the biggest games of Jim Harbaugh’s coaching career. Regardless of how the Wolverines do in this game, it’s been an unbelievable season.

The manhandling of Ohio State in Ann Arbor and the thorough whipping of Iowa in the Big Ten Championship game were true masterpieces.

Breakthrough season for Jim Harbaugh finally came in 2021

After all the disappointments over the years, Harbaugh finally had a breakthrough season for Michigan. The ironic part is the school reduced his salary in the off-season.

Harbaugh and the Wolverines have put together one of the most balanced teams in America in the 2021 season. They’ve got two of the best running backs in the nation in Hassan Haskins and Blake Corum. The Wolverines have rushed for 223 rushing yards per game this season, good enough for 10th in the country. Their power running game has been a huge part of their identity and they also have one of the best offensive lines in America.

It’ll be interesting to see what Harbaugh and company can put out on the field tonight in one of the biggest games of the season.
