Who knew coaching brilliance came with a side of comedic thievery? As the Harbaughs playfully squabble over the origin of “Who’s got it better than us?” there evolves a classic case of sibling rivalry. While the iconic catchphrase takes up the central role of the chaos, Jim and John Harbaugh, in the latest episode on the YouTube channel “Los Angeles Chargers,” sought their father Jack Harbaugh’s advice while cherishing Harbaughism. 

However, what followed was the father taking the side of one sibling, accusing the other of taking all the “credit” that left the Chargers’ coach to label the stance “robbery.” Meanwhile, Jack Harbaugh continues to guide his sons in their respective careers.

The banter began when the Harbaugh siblings participated in the latest episode, talking about how they grew up under the astute guidance of their father, Jack Harbaugh. And there is no better way to speak about the 84-year-old legend than his patent chant, “Who’s got it better than us?” There was light-hearted controversy as Jim Harbaugh was poised to take all the credit as he claimed, “We were talking about the booing and I said they’re not booing. They’re saying who they’re, whooing, “Who’s got it better than us?”

Instantly, out of envy, John retaliated by saying, “I heard Dad say it,” to which the Chargers HC confirmed that their father only repeated what he said. There, the head of the Harbaugh family intervened to engrave his supremacy. Amidst laughter, Jack said, “I think I’m going to take full credit.” Failing to establish his point and learning about his after and brother ganging up against him, Jim Harbaugh jokingly protested, “That’s robbery. That is actual robbery!” Catching the Harbaughs off guard gives fans a sneak peek at the robust bond the trio shares.

Even after retirement, Jack refused to let go of his love for the game and continued to serve as an assistant coach for Michigan. This was something both Jim and John Harbaugh sought inspiration from. Other than this, during his retirement, Jack continued to analyze practice tapes for the Michigan Wolverines and Baltimore Ravens, the two teams under his sons’ tutelage. In this way, he lent his guiding hand to his sons whenever they looked for advice.
