If you wanna say Harbaugh got his jobs and a longer leash because of his playing career, fine.
But he inherited a 1-11 Stanford team, a 6-10 49ers team and a 5-7 Michigan team and turned all of them into winners. Ryan Day took over a 12-1 Big Ten title team. Not comparable.
The lack of self-awareness is so on brand for Harbaugh.
Silver spoons in his mouth everywhere he's been and he has the audacity to say this?
Clueless and classless after a win, per usual.
