Jay Harbaugh praises ‘constant chaos’ from defense as Michigan shutout UNLV in 1st half

Jay Harbaugh, eldest son of Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh, finished his career as the head coach of the Wolverines with a lead in hand. But before Harbaugh handed off his interim head coaching duties to Mike Hart at halftime — the duo are filling in for the school-suspended head coach — he spoke with CBS sideline reporter Jenny Taft.

Leading 21-0 against UNLV, there wasn’t much for Harbaugh to pick on. The defensive line had caused havoc and quarterback J.J. McCarthy finished completing 17-of-18 attempts with a touchdown to boot.

“Really happy with how we played, especially the defensive front. Just constant chaos up front. A few TFLs, five sacks if I’m correct and love the way the quarterback is playing, so we gotta keep it up,” Harbaugh said.

Taft asked Harbaugh what his message to Hart would be as the running backs coach took over head coaching duties for the third and fourth quarters.

Harbaugh kept it simple and referenced something his dad — or “head coach Harbaugh” — frequently tells his Michigan team.

“Just be him, just like head coach Harbaugh always tells us: ‘Be yourself, be loose, have fun and great things will happen.’”
