2.) "There used to be a saying by old coaches. My dad (Jack Harbaugh) used it. 'Hey, we're all robbing the same train here.' Coaches, administrators, media, TV, conferences the NCAA, and the ones who are getting a very small piece are the players." ... To a question on state of college football on Saturday.

3.) "We allow ourselves to evolve into a pack of wolves. That's what we want to channel. Probably nature's greatest fighting unit. They're like the perfect fighting unit to me - a pack of wolves.

The gathering is the main thing." ... To a question Sunday about pregame video sessions.

Can't tell you what that means to us that we reached 1,000 wins this year (1,004 presently). Definitely going to include that in the tattoo. Thousand wins. That's the most of any football anywhere. To reach 1,000 wins and win the national championship in the same year, man, doesn't get much better than that. I would really ask you, who could possibly have it better than us? NOBODY." ...

I think about Bo Schembechler (Michigan Wolverines coach from 1969-89 whom Harbaugh played under and dad Jack Harbaugh coached under) in heaven looking down. I think there are some things he'd be talking about - coming off the ball with lower pad level."

13.) "Back to it. It's always either people want to look at the past or the future. Definitely going to just enjoy this. Waking up this morning, this wasn't a dream. That was real.
