“Coach Schembechler’s a daily source of inspiration and remains that for me and all the people he coached or was associated with,” Harbaugh said Tuesday on the Big Ten coaches teleconference. “Today’s a special day in remembering coach Schembechler.”
Schembechler, Michigan’s legendary former coach, died nine years ago today, Nov. 17. He died of heart disease on the eve of Michigan’s No. 1 vs. No. 2 battle with archrival Ohio State in 2006.
The College Football Hall of Famer went a whopping 194-48-5 during his coaching run at Michigan (1969-1989), winning 13 Big Ten championships and a pair of Rose Bowls.
Harbaugh, of course, played for Schembechler at Michigan from 1982-86.
