Jim Harbaugh had a plan for Michigan and he's executed it

"When Jim Harbaugh took over Michigan, they have recruited over the last two years… I think it’s like 13 defensive linemen. When Harbaugh got to Michigan, it was very obvious what his plan was. We’re going to get real physical. We’re going to recruit the hell out of the offensive and defensive lines - and they’ve done that, and they’ve done it at a high level.

"He wanted to create physical football at the point of attack. His belief was to beat Bama, to beat Ohio State, I’ve got to win in the trenches. You could see it from his recruiting. He poked Ohio State in the ribs, he poked the SEC in the ribs. He wanted to get noticed. Nationally, he wanted to make Michigan discussed, so when he walked into homes down in Georgia, Florida and Texas, the football players had heard of him. It was very obvious what Jim Harbaugh was doing. ‘We’re going to make Michigan football the talk. I’m going to go to pro wrestling events, I’m going to go to Cubs playoff games, I’m going to do these camps and it’s going to get publicity from the media.’ He comes on my radio show and he’s crazy and people talk about it.

"The gameplan was really obvious. Michigan had fallen off the radar of college football, and he’s like ‘I’m getting us back on the radar…’"
