Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh is a big fan of cutting his own grass because, of course, he is.

While he could pay somebody else to do it, Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh is his own lawn care service.

Harbaugh may be pushing 60, but he is forever youthful at heart. After all, he brings his own bottle of 2-percent to a steakhouse, his trusty glove to a baseball game and will help remove a fallen tree in the middle of a neighborhood street. Harbaugh epitomizes Big Ten Energy like no other, and that is why we love him so much. He is a content machine, powering through the awkwardness.

So when asked what he would be doing if he was leading Michigan on fall Saturdays, Harbaugh said he'd be a grass man!

As a man who does enjoy cutting grass, despite being allergic to it, I totally understand why Harbaugh derives such immense satisfaction from taking care of his own lawn.

These are all great things, but for a man of his importance in college football, wouldn't he like to get those one-to-two hours back each week during the spring, summer and fall? Those things add up!

All we know is Harbaugh is clearly about that side-hustle life. Work hard, play hard, no doubt, man!

Jim Harbaugh would 100 percent be cutting his own grass at this stage of his life

Just imagine strolling through your local Ann Arbor neighborhood on a peaceful Saturday afternoon sometime this spring. You turn that corner, and lo and behold, the Wolverines head coach is either taking his John Deere another round or pushing the same push mower he's had since his rookie year with the Chicago Bears shirtless. He is Team Skins in neighborhood pickup…

The good news is I know exactly what to get Harbaugh for a gift on any occasion. It could be his birthday, it could be Christmas, but it'll never be Father's Day because he'll never beat Georgia (Go Dawgs!). The only answer here is power tools. If we need a new olympic by the time the games come to Los Angeles, I would suggest power tools be that sport and Harbaugh a signature athlete.

I also subscribe to the notion that bingo is a skill game, and that Chris Paul might be onto something with that speed walking thing. For those who invite The Harbaughs to their quarterly shindigs in the cul-de-sac, just know that if you see a lawn care truck parked in his driveway, something went horribly wrong and the Ann Arbor Police Department must be made aware of it.

If Harbaugh's backyard doesn't have the crisp lines of the Wrigley Field outfield, I would be furious.
