Jim Harbaugh on Michigan sign-stealing allegations: 'I do not apologize'

All Hades broke loose once again over the weekend with a so-called "leak" of the draft of the notice of allegations the NCAA is getting ready to send to Michigan for the sign-stealing allegations. We were all trying to enjoy our weekend but instead, we got sucked into the news that just keeps on giving.

One guy most people wanted to hear from after some more details emerged regarding Sherrone Moore potentially being involved and Connor Stalions being confirmed on the sidelines at Central Michigan (among other things), is former Wolverine head coach, Jim Harbaugh.

We haven't heard too much from him since he was airlifted out of the situation, but he was asked about the recent report from ESPN and was -- for once -- happy to talk about it and oblige. It wasn't an even-keel coach-speak response either, but a rather defiant one that we haven't seen too often from Harbaugh.

"Yeah, I do have a comment," Harbaugh said. "Never lie, never cheat, never steal. I was raised with that. I raised my family on that lesson. I have preached that lesson to the teams that I have coached. No one's perfect. If you stumble, you apologize and make it right. Today, I do not apologize. I did not participate (in the sign-stealing), was not aware, nor complicit in those said allegations. So for me, it's back to work and attacking with an enthusiasm unknown to mankind."

Harbaugh does sound like he means it, but then again, what else would we expect him to say? All we can do is wait for more to come out and for the NCAA to continue its snail pace on the whole thing. In the meantime, I'm sure we'll be discussing it more, especially when the Stalions Netflix documentary comes out in a few weeks.
