Jim Harbaugh: Michigan Is About as Close as You Can Possibly Be to Winning Title

Jim Harbaugh has never even won a divisional crown during his nine years as a collegiate head coach, but he believes his Michigan Wolverines have been right on the cusp of the national championship during his five seasons in charge.

"I mean, just look back over the last the last years that we've been here last five years," he said, per Zach Shaw of 247Sports. "About as close as you can possibly be. But you got to put it over the top. That's what drives us."

To Harbaugh's credit, he took over the Wolverines at a particularly low point for the historic program and wasted little time putting them on the right track.
