ESPN wasn't the first to confuse the Harbaugh brothers, and it won't be the last.

John has coached the Ravens since 2008, and Jim has led Michigan since 2015.
The Ravens advanced to the playoffs on Sunday after the Jacksonville Jaguars lost to the Tennessee Titans, but John's brother Jim is scheduled to coach Michigan State in the CFP National Championship game on Monday night. ing.
Jim's Wolverines defeated the University of Alabama 27-20 in overtime on January 1 as part of the College Football Playoff, aiming for the school's first national championship since 1997.
Some fans noticed the gaffe during the broadcast and tweeted it live.
Despite the loss, the Ravens remain the No. 1 seed in the AFC playoffs, and if they make it that far they will have home-field advantage until the Super Bowl.
Earning the No. 1 seed would give the Ravens a first-round bye before returning to play in two weeks, allowing John to play in Monday's game between Michigan and Washington. According to ESPN.
Jim previously coached in the NFL, leading the 49ers from 2011 to 2014 and leading San Francisco to the Super Bowl in the 2012 season, where they lost to John's Ravens.
