Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh was the keynote speaker at the University of Michigan football coaching clinic today.

Both Jim and John spoke to the media, and also to the couple hundred high school football coaches in attendance.

John is confident that Michigan football will get back on track under his brother's leadership.

"There's no doubt that Michigan is going to win. Obviously the variable is going to be time and how fast they pick it up. There's no question he's going to make the transition perfectly well."

Within minutes of being around John and Jim, I could tell that they're very close brothers. They were constantly talking and joking around with each other.

Their parents, Jack and Jackie Harbaugh, were also present today.

Jim spoke first at the coaches clinic before introducing his brother, John.

He talked about how he and John shared same bedroom for 16 years before John went off to college.

Jim thinks very highly of his brother.

He said, "He's my role model, he's my inspiration. He's my big brother. He beats up on me sometimes, takes advantage of me. Not only in the Super Bowl."

Everyone erupted into laughter.

Once John took the stage, he spoke about their time growing up together, and shared some of his keys to coaching success.

John also talked about facing Jim in the Super Bowl and demonstrated their postgame handshake.

After beating Jim, he was expecting a brotherly hug, however Jim popped him in the chest and said "There will be no hug. Congratulations."

Again, everyone laughed. You can check out the video of it above.

Although tensions may have been high after the Super Bowl between the two, these brothers are definitely best friends, and continue to support each other 100 percent.
