Jim Harbaugh Says Comment About Urban Meyer's Controversies Wasn't a 'Bombshell'

Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh defended comments he made about former Ohio State coach Urban Meyer.

Harbaugh addressed the topic with reporters during Big Ten media days on Friday: "I don't think it was anything that was new, or anything of a bombshell. It's things that you all understand and have written about."

On a podcast, The Athletic's Tim Kawakami asked Harbaugh what his reaction was when Meyer announced last December he was retiring after the Buckeyes' appearance in the Rose Bowl.

"Urban Meyer's had a winning record," Harbaugh said.
