Former San Francisco 49ers head coach Jim Harbaugh has guided his University of Michigan Wolverines to the College Football Playoff National Championship, where they’re facing the University of Washington for all the marbles on Monday evening.
His brother John is the longtime head coach of the NFL’s Baltimore Ravens, and while the two have been very competitive against each other in the past, it hasn’t dampened their fraternal love.
In fact, John made the trip to NRG Stadium in Houston to see his brother attempt to win the national championship, per SportsCenter, and the two shared a touching moment when they embraced.

John Harbaugh has coached the Ravens since the 2008 season, making him the third longest-tenured head coach in the NFL behind Bill Belichick of the New England Patriots and the Pittsburgh Steelers’ Mike Tomlin.
At the end of the 2012 season, the two Harbaughs went at it in the Super Bowl as their respective teams battled for the Vince Lombardi Trophy, with the Ravens defeating the 49ers, 34-31.
Jim Harbaugh, who immediately took the Niners from the wilderness to the NFC Championship Game during the 2011 season, his first with them, has been rumored to be interested in a return to the NFL next season.
The Los Angeles Chargers, Las Vegas Raiders, and Washington Commanders are reportedly in pursuit of him, according to Jordan Schultz.
Whichever team gets Harbaugh, assuming he does return to the pros, will be getting a proven winner who will bring a winning culture and lots of intensity.
