After Michigan’s victory in the National Championship Game, coach Jim Harbaugh confirmed a major change coming to his life.
He’ll be getting a tattoo.
The Wolverines victory over Washington on Monday not only secured a national championship for Michigan but also a perfect 15-0 season. After the game, Harbaugh confirmed that he would be getting inked up to commemorate the perfect season, following through on a promise he made to the team.
“I did say that to our players, I said if we go 15-0, I’m getting a tattoo. It’s 15-0,” Harbaugh said in his post-game press conference in a video captured by Alejandro Zúñiga, 247 Sports. “I’m going to put it on my shoulder. I don’t know if it’s my left or right yet. I’m a right-handed quarterback, I’ll probably get it on my right. And then an M, too, an M that’s maize & blue M. Also that signifies a thousand in Roman numerals.”

Another interesting question, of course, is whether Monday’s game was Harbaugh’s last with Michigan. It’s been long rumored that Harbaugh wants to return to the NFL, where he enjoyed a lot of success as head coach of the San Francisco 49ers but didn’t win a Super Bowl. Winning a national championship at his alma mater might seem like the perfect way to end his stint at Michigan and return to the NFL.
But Harbaugh avoided answering questions about that change.
SVP then brought up the postgame presser to Jim Harbaugh which led to laughs.

Whenever Harbaugh does leave the Wolverines, though, these tattoos will ensure that Michigan will forever be a part of him.
