Detroit Free Press Prints Wrong Harbaugh On Front Page

San Francisco 49ers ex-head coach Jim Harbaugh has been widely reported to be the new head coach of the University of Michigan football team, but an image used on the Monday print edition of the Detroit Free Press has a lot of reader scratching their heads.

The paper mixed up the two brothers using a photo of John Harbaugh instead of Jim. John coaches the Baltimore Ravens and his team is currently in the playoffs.

Freep took to their Twitter account to express their embarrassment.

And added a little humor to lighten the mood.

John U. Bacon, a New York Times author says the deal to bring Jim Harbaugh to U-M is already done, though no official contract has been signed.
