WATCH: Jim Harbaugh, Blake Corum, Will Johnson speak in morning-after press conference
HOUSTON, Texas – The Michigan Wolverines contingent of head coach Jim Harbaugh, running back Blake Corum and cornerback Will Johnson made their way to the JW Marriott in Houston for a celebratory press conference on Tuesday morning. You can watch the full press conference above or on our YouTube channel.
For Michigan, the national title win capped off a dominant season that helped slay a lot of narratives surrounding the program. It was not easy in the early stages of the Harbaugh era, but he would have had it no other way.
“I don’t know. I don’t know how hard they were. I never really looked at it as hard,” Harbaugh. “They were joyful days. I wouldn’t have changed a thing. I have a few regrets, but just a few. And just some of the best times. Some of the best times.
“Like I said last night, what an exclamation point our guys put on this season. Took on all comers. We were the last ones standing. Feels great to be the champs, and I get – in my own family, to be – my dad won a national championship. My brother’s won a Super Bowl. And it’s really cool. I feel like I can hold my head up high now. At least be at their same level, not sit at the kids’ table anymore, get to join the big person’s table. You feel like you’re the only guy. Not anymore. So, yeah, it feels great, too.”
Running back Blake Corum helped set the tone at Michigan over the last three years and thinks that the players left behind have the goods to win the national title again in 2024.
“I definitely think the guys will run it back,” Corum said. “They know what it takes. They know what it’s like. And something Coach Harbaugh always says is don’t get a big head. And none of the guys on the team will have a big head after this win.
