Los Angeles Chargers Head Coach Jim Harbaugh Recruited Cincinnati Bengals Star Joe Burrow, Tried to Get Him to Ditch Ohio State for Michigan
The Bengals play the Chargers on Sunday, but it won't be the first time Joe Burrow has met with Jim Harbaugh.
Harbaugh tried to get Burrow to decommit from Ohio State and switch to Michigan shortly after he was named head coach of the Wolverines"He seems to win everywhere he goes. He's an intense guy that seems like guys like to play for, so credit to him for the job he's done everywhere he's went." The Chargers are 6-3 this season and firmly in the playoff race. Harbaugh tried to get the Ohio kid to flip to Michigan. Did he consider making the move?
"Here's my thought process. He had just gotten the job at Michigan that January, after that season. I had been committed to Ohio State for five or six months of that point,""So, I think coach was trying to make a big splash, trying to flip the Ohio State quarterback commit. I'm not entirely sure he knew exactly who who I was or what I could do at that point. I think he was just trying to make a little splash there.
Things worked out. Burrow and Harbaugh ended up winning National Championships at their respective schools.James Rapien is the publisher of Bengals On SI. He's also the host of the Locked on Bengals podcast and Cincinnati Bengals Talk on YouTube.
