We knew Jim Harbaugh's preferred meat was steak. And now, according to one of his former players, we know how much he dislikes chicken.
In a story for Bleacher Report, writer Matt Hayes provides a Harbaugh anecdote courtesy of former Michigan quarterback Wilton Speight, who transferred after last season to UCLA. Hayes writes:
Early in his Michigan tenure, Harbaugh pulled Speight aside and told him not to eat chicken, a protein that is considered fairly safe by nutritionists. When Speight asked why, Harbaugh said, "because it's a nervous bird."
"He thinks some type of sickness injected its way into the human population when people began eating white meats instead of beef and pork," Speight says.
