Jim Harbaugh spotted wearing an Atlanta Falcons jersey
Jim Harbaugh spotted wearing an Atlanta Falcons Jersey? Seems normal
Arguably the most outrageous, obnoxious, exuberant football coach in the world was spotted wearing a Julio Jones jersey. And the best part of it all is the fact that he’s never coached Jones, nor has he coached on the Atlanta Falcons.
Former San Francisco 49ers head coach turned Michigan Wolverines head coach wore a bright red Jones jersey to a satellite camp and that got the media buzzing.
Some wonder why a Wolverines head coach that is all about the Big Ten conference would wear a former Crimson Tide players’ jersey. That could be taken as disrespect to some Michigan faithfuls, but it’s rather simple as to why he was sporting that beautiful jersey.
The state of Alabama does not have a professional football team. So by wearing the Jones’ jersey, he’s showing all of the potential Michigan recruits who the best current NFL player to come out of Alabama is. And by working hard enough, they too could be one of the next bright young stars in just a few short years.
However, there could be another reason behind the uniform choice. Why not because he witnessed Jones torch his 49ers in the 2012 NFC Championship game? Sure, the Falcons lost the game, but you better believe Harbaugh walked off the field with a ton of respect for No. 11.
Either way, it’s awesome to see. Harbaugh has been spotted wearing all sorts of jersey’s on his satellite camp visits. He was worn a Baltimore Ravens jersey as well as an Atlanta Braves’ Hank Aaron jersey.
Will his crazy jersey choices at these camps end up convincing a high school recruit to come play for Michigan? Hey, anything is possible, but it’s just another day in the wacky world of Jim Harbaugh.
Next: How much control does Richard Smith really have over the defense?
Nothing looks better than a Michigan hat and an oddball jersey tucked into some khaki pants.
