Jim Harbaugh Fires Back at 'Pete' Finebaum After Being Accused of Cheating

Michigan Wolverines head football coach Jim Harbaugh has never been one to bite his tongue.

On Thursday, the 53-year-old sent a shot at ESPN's Paul Finebaum, who Harbaugh (perhaps intentionally) referred to as "Pete":

As noted by Awful Announcing's Matt Clapp, Finebaum has been critical of the Wolverines for some time, even calling their fanbase a "whiny and sniveling bunch."

But on Wednesday, the 61-year-old media personality took issue with Harbaugh for hiring the father of an elite quarterback prospect, Michael Johnson Jr., to his staff.

Update: Friday, Feb. 17 at 10:55 a.m.

According to Matt Prehm of DucksTerritory.com, Michael Johnson Sr. has been hired by Oregon as a wide receivers coach.

The reason for the Harbaugh-Finebaum beef isn't even heading to Ann Arbor.

Finebaum called Harbaugh an "evil genius" but accused him of cheating and "blatantly disregarding the spirit of the NCAA rule" on ESPN's Outside the Lines.

Here's the full video:

Keep an eye on Harbaugh's Twitter account. He might not be through responding to "Pete."
