“And I like the M. The skinny M”.

So, how in the world did you end up as the head coach at IL?
Q: Jim Harbaugh recently appeared in a rap video to promote MI football. “I knew that better days were ahead financially for us to build the things that we needed to build”.
“My default is usually yes”, Harbaugh said. It’s a respectable song and video. “And all cool people like it. Some uptight people don’t, but they’re very few”.
“That’s why most of us came here”, Butt said.
“He could explode into I mean a giant of a man”.
All-America cornerback Jourdan Lewis, he said, “has never had a disrespectful word for a professor, to a coach, to a teammate”. I’m glad I’m not the quarterback. “He’s going to do the things that he’s done in the past”.
Oh, this was essentially the same act Harbaugh brought to this same event last summer-toting a Mike Ditka jersey to the dais and embarking on all manner of tangents throughout the rest of the day-and the reaction is only slightly different than it was last July, too.
He said he hopes “that people are laughing at us because if people aren’t laughing at us we didn’t set high enough goals”.
And that isn’t going to change-win or lose.
“Hire DJ. He’ll be the best coach on your staff”, Harbaugh recalled Mattison telling him.
Injury talk elsewhere: Harbaugh did mention earlier in the day Monday that “possibly one or two” players would not be available for the start of fall camp due to injuries.
Instead of that slow, methodical rebuild that most preach in the sport, instead of firing off a hefty dosage of coach speak, Harbaugh has embraced the lofty expectations that are being bestowed upon him.
And this is the part, beyond anything that Harbaugh said to those hanging onto his every word, that seemed to resonate most on Monday. “I just felt more comfortable in the cap”. I’ve been made fun of pretty much since I can remember, since I was little.
“He’s got a Champions Club and makes those things really valuable to strive for as a player”.
Smith at that time did apologize to MI athletic director Warde Manuel, but Harbaugh said he will only apologize when it’s warranted. “But when someone talks about someone or something you love or makes a personal attack, then you have the right to shoot one back across their bow”, he said. “I truly believe that”.
The league’s preseason watch list features a total of 10 student-athletes, with five players selected from both the East and West Division.
He said he hasn’t yet decided his plan when camp begins August 8, but more than likely he will shut down media access until shortly before the season. Unless, he said, someone sticks “bamboo shoots” under his fingernails.
MI head coach Jim Harbaugh spoke to the media on the first day of the Big Ten Media Days in Chicago. Even before Bri’onte Dunn was dismissed from the team, most people expected Weber to emerge as OSU’s No. 1 ball carrier this season. “I think a player and a team have the right to do that. And so far I’ve really been pleased with the foundation, the culture and the environment, the behavior and the performance that our players have given us in a short amount of time”. How amusing that getting blown out by IN at home and losing three IN a row to them for the first time IN 70 years was just me not seeing where the real progress was made.

He addressed scheduling issues by saying they’re not an issue.
