Michigan Wolverines head coach Jim Harbaugh caught everyone off guard when he took the field wearing a pair of glasses on Saturday.

The former 49ers coach who helped Kaepernick take the team to the 2013 Superbowl said he is now “a full-time glasses person” after getting the results of an eye exam on Tuesday.

“It’s a tip of the hat, a nod to Woody Hayes, to Michael Douglas in the movie Falling Down, and also a tip of the cap to Malcolm X,” Harbaugh said after his team pasted Illinois 41-8. “In honor of those three men.”

It’s pretty strange Harbaugh mentions civil rights leader Malcolm X, considering he expressed disapproval of Colin Kaepernick’s national anthem protest that’s meant to raise awareness of civil rights issues. Harbaugh first said that he didn’t “respect the motivation or action,” and then later apologized, saying in a tweet, “To clarify, I support Colin’s motivation. It’s his method of action that I take exception to.”
