WATCH: Jim Harbaugh goes back-and-forth with reporter regarding Urban Meyer comments
Published:
Big Ten Media Days are always fun.
We get to hear coaches and players talk about themselves and the team leading up to each college football season. The 2019 version hasn’t disappointed, but of course, there has been a little drama.
That drama involves Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh and the comments he made about former Ohio State coach Urban Meyer on a recent podcast.
Harbaugh: "Urban Meyer's had a winning record. Really phenomenal record everywhere he's been. But also, controversy follows everywhere he's been." https://t.co/zFKSngtRMo

Harbaugh was again asked about his comments during his time on the podium Friday morning and he didn’t back down from what he said. Harbaugh said that nothing he has said about Meyer was new or a bombshell.
But, we aren’t done there. Afterwards, a reporter asked Harbaugh once again when he was with the media. The two went back-and-forth about the matter:

Regardless of whose side you are on with this, it seemed as though the reporter was looking to get a reaction from Harbaugh. It didn’t seem to work, as Harbaugh backed up what he had previously said.
Controversy has followed Meyer. End of story.
