Ever since the sign-stealing accusations, Jim Harbaugh‘s life has undergone significant turmoil. His actions have had severe consequences for the Michigan Wolverines. The Big 10 conference came down hard on the Michigan HC, and he was immediately suspended for the remainder of the NCAA season.

After the suspension, the interim HC stepped up and picked up from where the usual coach left. As the team prepares for its next clash against Ohio State, their captain comes with a thunderous presentation. It’s tough for rookie players to first understand the challenges that lie with the sacking of their HC. At such an early stage of a career, the players need some motivation to deliver the results on the field. Michigan’s captain’s ultimatum and the faith restored in him through Harbaugh were evident during the pressers.
