Whiny Jim Harbaugh diminishes great Michigan-Ohio State game with officiating rant | Politi Bits

The last time Jim Harbaugh lost a really big game, he also blamed the referees for blowing a call. This was in 2013, when Harbaugh was head coach of the San Francisco 49ers. This was in Super Bowl XLVII, in a game that will be remembered as the improbable coaching matchup of two brothers.

Harbaugh didn't come to the post-game press conference to heap praise on John Harbaugh, who was celebrating a dramatic victory with the Baltimore Ravens for his first Lombardi Trophy. He came to rip the officials for missing a pass interference penalty on the final, desperate pass to receiver Michael Crabtree to seal his team's fate.
