The Michigan Wolverines and Washington Huskies have both made it to Houston in advance of Monday’s College Football Playoff National Championship
Speaking to the media Sunday afternoon, Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh took the time to discuss how much the program winning a national championship would mean to everyone, not just himself.
“It would mean so much for our players, for them to know what it’s like to be champions. Just be simply referred to as national champions. and for their parents to have their son be a champion, a national champion; for their grandparents to have a grandson; for their brothers and sisters to have a brother who is a national champion,” Harbaugh said.
Harbaugh went on to explain how proud a win would make his family, saying, What it would mean to me, for my kids to know their dad is a national champion and for my parents and my brother and my sister, that’s the overwhelming thing, just that so many people would be able to enjoy that, be a part of that. For my wife, for her husband to be a national champion. For me, not so much, but for everybody else, yeah, that would be huge.”
Michigan last won a national championship in 1997 when they defeated the Washington State Cougars in the Rose Bowl.
