Jim Harbaugh gets tattoo celebrating Michigan's 15-0 season
Jim Harbaugh apparently has a new tattoo on his right arm, signifying an undefeated season for the Michigan Wolverines.
After winning a national title, Harbaugh will remember it forever on his body at least. The new Los Angeles Chargers head coach returned to the pros following the college football season.
You can see the new ink below.
Harbaugh said he would get it done back in January, so it looks like he kept his promise.
“I said that I would get a tattoo,” Harbaugh said this winter. “I have no ink on my body. No tattoos anywhere, but I did say that to our players. I said if we go 15-0, I’m getting a tattoo, it’s 15-0. I’m going to put it on my shoulder — I don’t know if it’s my left or right yet. I’m a right-handed quarterback, I’ll probably get it on my right. And then an M, too, an M that’s maize and blue M. Also that signifies a thousand in Roman numerals.
“Can’t tell you what that means to us, too, that we reached a thousand wins this year. And where are we at now, a 1,003, four? I lost count. 1,004. 1,004! Four. One of my favorite numbers (laughter). Definitely going to include that.”
Harbaugh finally reached the top of the mountain with Michigan, winning a national title. Now, he’ll try to get that elusive Super Bowl in Los Angeles.
“And it’s such a great thing,” Harbaugh said. “I mean, I think of the brothers that have played here together, the father/sons that have played at Michigan. We’ve got a beautiful wall. Brad Galli has shot that wall a few times. A lot of people talk about family. I mean, that wall to me is — that legacy wall says so much. All the coaches that coached here, if they coached for five years, we’ve got them an M ring this year.
“And I really appreciate our administration and the M Club, which supports us, so great to get a ring for every coach that’s ever coached at Michigan for five years, and any staff member that coached at Michigan for 10 years, they’re getting an M ring.”
