Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh couldn’t have chosen a worse time to show up in a photo with a certain WWE legend.
It’s widely expected that Harbaugh will be suspended by the Big Ten for alleged sign-stealing while the NCAA continues to investigate the matter. It appears the 59-year-old isn’t all that worried as he was in a very good mood when he spoke to reporters on Monday.
The HC attributed his extra-high spirits to a visit from close friend Ric Flair.
“My energy level was already sky high,” he said. “But then I got a visit from the Nature Boy Ric Flair, a very close friend, and that just brought the enthusiasm to a new level.”
Flair also took to X to post a photo of the two of them. You can see that right below:
Naitch, of course, was known as the “dirtiest player in the game” during his wrestling days. So the reaction was as expected.

“If my team was being accused of cheating, I would simply not hang out with someone known as The Dirtiest Player in the Game,” one fan wrote.

Harbaugh has maintained his innocence throughout the investigations and has Michigan’s full support as the university is ready to take legal action if he gets suspended. It appears the Nature Boy has his back too.
