Out of the same admiration and respect that the Colts hold for their former QB, the team set up banners of “Free Harbaugh” at their home stadium, Lucas Oil, after they beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday. Along with the banner, the 6-5 Colts also filled Michigan’s spirits with inspiration by hanging the “Free Harbaugh” poster, right after two B1G Football Championship posters with 2021, and 2022 written on them. In a way, it gives the team another remainder at redeeming their coach’s reputation by bringing home the Big Ten Championship home for the third time straight.
