Jim Harbaugh showed all of us how loud he wants his QBs to be (Video)

Jim Harbaugh wants all of his quarterbacks to be loud under center, and on Tuesday, the Michigan head coach was nice enough to give us a demonstration.
This week brings to us the 2017 edition of Big Ten Media Days as the college football season is rapidly approaching here. Of course, there were a lot of eyes on Tuesday, because we would hear from none other than the man who’s maybe the quirkiest head coach in all of college football, Michigan Wolverines head man Jim Harbaugh.
Once again, it was well worth the wait to hear from Harbaugh. However, nothing from Tuesday may have been better than the khaki fanatic giving us quite the demonstration.
You see, Harbaugh asks a lot out of his quarterbacks, as most head coaches do. Well, one of the things that he wants to see from his signal-callers is them turning up the volume when they’re making the calls under center on the plays. Some of you may be wondering just how loud Harbaugh wants them to be, so have no fear, he was nice enough to give the media and all of us a little demonstration right there in the hotel.
See, no confusion there. He said he wants his young men to be loud under center and then he proceeded to clarify to everyone just how loud he wants them to be out there on the field.
This subject is especially important because there’s a slight chance there might be some quarterback drama for Harbaugh and the Wolverines this coming season. Wilton Speight is projected to be the starter come September 2 when Michigan opens up against the Florida Gators, however, Harbaugh did note on Tuesday that John O’Korn and Brandon Peters will be giving him a fight for the job.

We’ll eventually find out a concrete answer to the Michigan quarterback issue come September, but what we do know for sure now is they better be loud — just as loud as their eccentric head coach.
