Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh appeals to ‘cool people’ in rap video

CHICAGO — Jim Harbaugh has apparently gotten very positive feedback on his recent rap video.

Speaking at Big Ten media days Monday afternoon, Harbaugh said he's gotten texts and messages from fans of the video, which has been viewed nearly 700,000 times since it was released July 18.

"I think all the cool people liked it," Harbaugh said. He later added, “It’s only uptight white people that didn’t like it.”

In the video, Harbaugh drives a yellow convertible sportscar through the Michigan Stadium tunnel with rapper Bailey in the passenger seat, then bobs his head while Bailey raps. When asked why he participated in a rap video to begin with, Harbaugh said his natural inclination is to say "yes" to any and all possibilities.
