But as Jim said, his winning sometimes came with a cost.

“Urban Meyer’s had a winning record. Really phenomenal record everywhere he’s been,” Harbaugh said on The Athletic’s “The TK Show” podcast. “But also, controversy follows everywhere he’s been.”

Jim went on to say that while he may have a losing record against the Buckeyes, Michigan football has two goals: “win multiple championships and run a first-class program.”
