You’ve seen the clip by now. During Friday’s practice, Jim Harbaugh got some work in on the practice field, pushing around a sled as Michigan closed out its first full week of fall camp.
Some thought it was awesome to see Harbaugh pushing the sled around. Others found the humor in it. Harbaugh, however, found out just how tough it can be to move that thing around these days.
Not long after pushing the sled around the field, Harbaugh joined Big Ten Network’s Dave Revsine for a quick interview and recap of the first seven practices in Ann Arbor. The seventh-year head coach was pretty winded.
Below is the clip from BTN:

That’ll certainly get the heart pumping.
Harbaugh is working hard to get his team ready for the start of the season, opening with a home game against Western Michigan before a tough Power 5 non-conference matchup vs. Washington. After a 2-4 season in 2020, there are expectations for the Wolverines to climb back to the top.
Clearly, Harbaugh is putting in quite a bit of work to accomplish the goals of winning a B1G title and finally beating Ohio State. Even if it means taking a few reps on the sled.
