Michigan Football: 5 key things Jim Harbaugh said at Big Ten Media Days
Michigan football coach Jim Harbaugh stepped to the podium Friday in Chicago and here are the most interesting things he said along with key takeaways.
Whenever Michigan football head coach Jim Harbaugh steps to the podium, it’s interesting. And one day after criticizing former Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer, he stepped onto the stage at Big Ten Media Days in Chicago.
It didn’t take long for Michigan football’s coach to get asked about his comments on Meyer and he responded as one would expect. He didn’t really elaborate on the topic but didn’t back away from it either.
Harbaugh is an interesting figure because, at times, he does play things very close to the vest. However, he also is one to speak his mind as he did on Friday when he touched on topics ranging from Ohio State to transfers to the College Football Playoff.
And here is the first question about Meyer: "I don't think it was anything new or a bombshell." Harbaugh says.

Of course, with Harbaugh being the biggest name in the Big Ten right now after the departure of Meyer he and Michigan football are only going to get more and more attention. The Wolverines have gotten tons of preseason hype and who knows, maybe Harbaugh said what he did about Urban to take some of the pressure off his team.
All I know is that Harbaugh is pretty calculated and very intelligent and I don’t think he says many things without a reason, including offering criticism of his former rival. With that in mind, here are the most interesting things Harbaugh had to say Friday.
