Jim Harbaugh looked back to his playing days at Tuesday’s presser after the monumental win for Michigan in the national championship.

One reporter asked Harbaugh how much it would mean for Bo Schembechler to have seen it. Harbaugh played quarterback for Schembechler from 1983-1986. Harbaugh figured the long-time late Michigan coach would be talking about techniques or something to that nature. He thought Schembechler would have really enjoyed coaching a player like Blake Corum.

“So much. I think about that, I think about Bo Schembechler in heaven him looking down. I think there’s some things he’d be talking about coming off the ball with lower pad level,” said Harbaugh. “But I think he would be really pleased. Rushed the ball for, like, 300 yards. He’d really love Blake Corum. He would love him like we do. Makes you feel good.”

On top of all that, Harbaugh gushed about Michigan football finishing the season with 1,004 wins all-time. He reflected on a video that was narrated by James Earl Jones around 2015 emphasizing how rare that is at all levels of football.

“Other things, I mean to get to a thousand wins this year, that was such a thing. We were just for a couple years now we’ve been counting that down,” said Harbaugh. “To do it this year, do it in this fashion, now have 1,004 wins — no team’s won more. It’s in the video that we — my dad Jack and I wrote back in like 2015, that James Earl Jones narrated. No team has won more. No high school team has got to a thousand wins. No pro football team, no college team.”

Lastly, the Michigan head coach credited everyone who had a part in the wins throughout all the years of Wolverines football.

“That’s something that 144 years of players, coaches, staff, we feel that — we know contributed to that, and we’re very proud of that. To get there first, it was a race. It was a challenge. And our guys stepped up to it with aplomb,” said Harbaugh. “Many things. Just happy and proud. And Go Blue. The guys did a job, and did it great.”
