John Harbaugh Makes Michigan Football Sign-Stealing Joke

The Baltimore Ravens and Kansas City Chiefs are about to face off in the NFL Playoffs, though due to harsh weather, some flights have been delayed. After Ravens head coach John Harbaugh watched his brother, Jim Harbaugh, win a National Championship with the Wolverines last Monday, he managed to slip in a Michigan football sign-stealing joke during his press conference yesterday.

John Harbaugh cracks Michigan football sign-stealing joke

John Harbaugh and Jim Harbaugh are two of the best head coaches in football — at the NFL level and the college level. After winning the Big Ten title three tims in a row, making the College Football Playoff each time, and more, the younger Harbaugh brother finally won himself a ring.

On Monday, Harbaugh and Michigan football hoisted the National Championship Trophy in Houston after downing Washington 34-13, leading Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh to make a subtle sign-stealing joke on Friday.

“It’s gonna be interesting in Kansas City,” John Harbaugh said, via Shawn Stepner. “It’s going to be very interesting. We’ve got some scouts whose flights have been canceled going out there. Trying to get out there to scout the game — which is legal in pro football by the way.”

Despite outside noise and NFL rumors, Jim Harbaugh is a National Champion

Of course, with the Michigan football season now behind us, Jim Harbaugh and his Wolverines may have to do a full go-round with the NCAA regarding the sign-stealing allegations that have plagued the national media attention surrounding UM for months now.

Despite Connor Stalions resigning and Jim Harbaugh being suspended for six games this fall, Michigan football won itself a National Championship for the first time since 1997 — something that even NCAA President Charlie Baker admitted the Wolverines won fairly.
