ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) — Jim Harbaugh is leaning on lessons from “Ted Lasso” to cope with the challenges that come with preparing No. 3 Michigan to face rival and second-ranked Ohio State amid a sign-stealing scandal that will keep him away from his team for a third straight game.

“Despite that noise, our locker room’s in one piece,” Harbaugh said Monday before borrowing a line from the fictional soccer coach in a comedy series. "And like Ted, for me, a locker room is a lot like my mom’s bathing suits. I like to see them in one piece.

“We've got that, and it's amazing.”

Harbaugh sidestepped a handful of questions at his weekly news conference, including sharing his take on the school not going through with its threat to take the Big Ten to court for suspending him for three games and his reaction to linebackers coach Chris Partridge getting fired in the wake of an NCAA investigation and conference punishment.
