<\/p>\n
Jim Harbaugh<\/strong> is already a beloved figure in Michigan … but the Wolverines’ head football coach just earned even more respect in the community after assisting a police officer with clearing the road during Wednesday’s ice storm in Ann Arbor.<\/p>\n Harbaugh played good samaritan when he encountered a member of Ann Arbor’s police force who was having difficulty moving a large tree that’d fallen in the middle of the road due to the inclement weather. Coach decided to lend the officer a helping hand.<\/p>\n The PD said while their officer was surprised to see it was the head coach\/ex-NFL QB and coach who was helping, the officer gave Jim a pair of work gloves and the two of them got to work together!<\/p>\n Ann Arbor police tweeted about the incident Thursday, saying it took Harbaugh and Ofc. Cooper <\/strong>about ten minutes to clear the tree from the roadway, allowing traffic to finally pass through.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n “We thank Coach Harbaugh for being a valued member of the Ann Arbor community and helping out Ofc Cooper,” the department said.<\/p>\n The police department also shared the officer’s body-worn camera footage where you hear Harbaugh introduce himself to the officer after they finished clearing the tree … and the cop says, “you’re a good man.”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n “Hey, feel free to spread the word on that,” Harbaugh joked.<\/p>\n Of course, Harbaugh has been a presence since arriving in Ann Arbor both on and off the field … but moments like these are what endear him to Michigan fans.<\/p>\n
