Jim Harbaugh is optimistic about the direction of his Michigan Wolverines football program.

"Right now, I think our team, we're kind of on the cusp," the 56-year-old told The Athletic's Tim Kawakami. "We haven't gotten it over the top into the playoffs and to championships, and that's what drives us and motivates us every day on the field and every day working toward that goal."

Harbaugh noted Michigan's trips to the New Year's Six bowl games, as the Wolverines won the 2015 Citrus Bowl (41-7 over Florida) and lost the 2017 Outback Bowl (26-19 to South Carolina) as well as the 2019 Citrus Bowl (35-16 to Alabama).
