SEPTEMBER 2016 THE WOLVERINE 13 INSIDE MICHIGAN ATHLETICS "I just went into this race saying crazier things have happened than me medaling in this race. I really couldn't have looked for a better source of inspiration than my teammates this whole week." — Former Michigan swimmer Connor Jae- ger, a 10-time All-American and three-time NCAA champion, to NBC after earning a silver medal in the 1,500-meter freestyle at the Rio Olympic Games "John is the best coach I know, the best I've ever come across or competed against. I'm envious of the grasp he has of the entire game. I think offensively and with quarterback play, I'm right there with him. But I've got a ways to go in terms of special teams and understanding defense the way he does. I'm half as good as John is, but I'm trying." — Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh to ESPN on his brother and Baltimore Ravens head coach, John Harbaugh "I'm happy. I can't be disappointed with the sea- son. I wasn't expecting to make the team. I came up a little short. I feel like I'm young. I feel like I'm underdeveloped. My time will come." — Former Michigan steeplechaser Mason Ferlic after finishing fifth in the event at the U.S. Olympic Trials and fail- ing to qualify for the U.S. team THEY SAID IT Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer when asked by ESPN to describe Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh in one or two words "Excellent coach."
