Jim Harbaugh, the coach for the Michigan Wolverines, once told the former Alabama quarterback off for not loving football enough. He’s one of the most prominent coaches in the NCAA and his passion for football is renowned all over.

The Michigan Wolverines have had an unbelievable season this year. They have made it to the national championships and maintained their undefeated winning streak at the same time. But their respect was much to be desired as Harbaugh continued to gain flak for his sign-stealing controversies. Even with his mistakes, he’s proven that he’s a strong advocate for football, and his passion for the ball outlives all. And it was proven when he told off Greg McElroy in a past incident.

Greg McElroy shares the story of his interaction with Jim Harbaugh.

On the latest episode of the ESPN College Football show, McElroy talked about Harbaugh, telling him off for leaving football and moving towards being a commentator. Moreover, his conversation with Jim left him with the realization that he deeply cares about football.

Harbaugh asked McElroy if he was done playing football, and he responded by saying that he’s moved towards being a commentator on the sport to have more flexibility than being a coach. Eventually, the conversation got to a point where Harbaugh looked him dead in the eye and said, “Well no no you love football if you play football and when you’re done playing and you can no longer play, then you coach and if you don’t coach then you die.”  It’s apparent that Harbaugh is an extremely passionate man when it comes to football, and the upcoming CFP championship match will be the ultimate decider for his career’s fate.

Will Harbaugh head to the NFL if he wins the championship with Michigan?

Harbaugh’s transfer to the NFL has been long overdue, and the big league has been on his radar for quite some time. There’s a lot of speculation about his move from college football, and more specifically, the Los Angeles Chargers have his name as one of the potential candidates.

On January 9th, Michigan will play against the Washington Huskies, which will be the ultimate challenge for Harbaugh as he’ll try to make sure the team takes the CFP trophy home. Hopefully, he can add another final accolade to his name before leaving the men in blue and maize for a long time.
