When the solemn words are spoken -- “Mr. Speaker, the President of the United States" -- on Tuesday, a Michigan man will be there to hear the president's game plan.
University of Michigan football coach Jim Harbaugh and his wife Sarah Harbaugh will be the guests of U.S. Reps. Justin Amash, R-Cascade Township, and Debbie Dingell, D-Dearborn, at President Barack Obama’s last State of the Union address.
After starting as the University of Michigan's quarterback for three years and leading the team to the Rose Bowl in 1987 (U-M lost 22-15 to the Arizona State Sun Devils), Harbaugh played professional football for 14 years, playing for six different teams before joining the NFL coaching ranks.
