Yesterday, a report surfaced sharing that Michigan's Sherrone Moore could face a suspension based on the draft of the NCAA's Notice of Allegations, and that Jim Harbaugh was accused of serious Level 1 violations.
Today, while at his new job leading the Los Angeles Chargers, Harbaugh was asked about that report, and offered a very Harbaugh-esque response.
"Never lie. Never cheat. Never steal. I was raised with that lesson. I have raised my family on that lesson. I have preached that lesson to the teams that I've coached."
"No one's perfect. If you stumble, you apologize and you make it right. Today, I do not apologize. I did not participate, was not aware nor complicit in those said allegations."
"So for [now], it's back to work and attacking with an enthusiasm unknown to mankind."
That last part, about not participating and not being aware, is what Harbaugh has maintained all along.
"If you stumble, you apologize," and "Today, I do not apologize," send a similar sentiment to anyone thinking that he played any part in the Connor Stalions scandal that led to him being suspended by the Big Ten for some of Michigan's biggest games of the 2023 season before their playoff march and quest for a national title.

Will, what Netflix is selling as a Stalions tell all documentary tell the same story when it's released later this month?
Or will it fall well short of expectations like the media giant's look at Urban's time at Florida.
We'll have to wait and see.
