Ann Arbor – Ask the Michigan players for a story about their coach from this past season, and they all come up with something different.
Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh, who turned 52 on Wednesday, has not failed to provide unique moments for his players, let alone the media. He regularly quotes movies, historical figures and philosophers, he has offered advice to young Halloween trick-or-treaters, shared his preferred foods -- including steak and whole milk -- and he sometimes puts his own spin on oft-quoted messages.
Harbaugh, in his first season coaching his alma mater, led the Wolverines to a 9-3 regular season, 6-2 Big Ten.
