Jim Harbaugh finally talks about the allegations that have ruined his coaching career. The 59-year-old is the head coach for the Michigan Wolverines and is one of the best in the league. His team has had an amazing season so far, but his reputation has been tarnished.
Harbaugh was accused of being involved in a sign-stealing activity. The NCAA ran a thorough investigation into the illicit cheating, and eventually, Harbaugh was dropped from the team. The Wolverines have had an unbeatable record, but their success can’t be quantified because of the stain that Harbaugh’s controversy left behind. For the first time in a while, this is what Harbaugh had to say in his defense amid a storm of speculations.

Blackledge said, “He didn’t feel like he was responsible. He does feel like it’s his problem and he’s got to deal with it but he told us he was blindsided by these allegations. “ It’s evident that Harbaugh is trying to shift blame here rather than taking full responsibility for it, but either way, he will have to face the consequences of his actions. But during his absence, the Michigan Wolverines were seen getting emotional and dedicating their win against Penn State to Harbaugh.
