Remember when everyone — especially the SEC — was upset that Jim Harbaugh hosted spring football practices for a week at the recruiting hotbed IMG Academy in Florida? Well the second-year Michigan head coach looks like he isn't done making people angry with his latest announcement. On Thursday, Harbaugh announced that he would be joining forces with Baylor head coach Art Briles, and the two will be hosting a recruiting camp in Waco, Tx.
Where did this new friendship come from, you're probably thinking? The two head coaches spent some time together earlier this month when Briles went to Ann Arbor during Baylor's spring break and served as a keynote speaker for one of Michigan's coaches clinics. Briles, who spoke with ESPN after Baylor's Pro Day this week, said that despite what it may look like from the outside, Harbaugh's ego is nonexistent.
"It was really refreshing, because he's very humble. No ego. It was really refreshing," Briles said via ESPN.com. "I'd never really been around him, so I was intrigued like everybody else. He's just like me: He loves football and he's very passionate about it, and he's only concerned about what helps his guys."
Given the prominence of the state of Texas recruiting-wise, and having a dynamic guy like Harbaugh in Baylor, the camp will probably turn out to be a huge success.
