The Detroit Free Press Uses Wrong Harbaugh Picture

As many know, a lot of ESPN analysts are saying former San Francisco 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh will be the next head coach for Michigan, which also happens to be his alma mater.

Michigan has told its biggest boosters a deal for Jim Harbaugh is done and a press conference is scheduled for Tuesday, per sources.

In anticipation for Tuesday’s likely announcement, the Detroit Free Press aka Freep Sports ran an article called “All Signs Point to Harbaugh at U-M.” Unfortunately, they used a picture of the wrong Harbaugh. The person in the picture is actually John Harbaugh, brother to Jim and coach of the Baltimore Ravens.

And the Freep wonders why its medium is dying. @mgoblog @AceAnbender @sbell021 @MVictors @MZoneBlog pic.twitter.com/DrRy0SPy5p

Since this mistake was pointed out, Freep Sports took to Twitter to apologize for the mix-up and called the fault a “Case of the Mondays.” And best of all, the newspaper has resorted to self-deprecating humor to get past this very big error.

We've got a serious "Case of the Mondays." Our deepest apologies, folks. We'll have the right one tomorrow, promise. pic.twitter.com/ldTdKz2UwJ

For what it's worth, though, we do have the correct Ryan brother on this story about "Black Monday" in the NFL! https://t.co/f7ZrZ1Yvhl

In the end, everyone is human: but make sure the people picking out the pictures know what they are doing.
