Jim Harabaugh is widely viewed as one of the best coaches in college football. 

He has also become known for his somewhat eccentric personality. The Michigan football coach has made plenty of interesting sports analogies during his nine seasons in Ann Arbor. 

Harabaugh held a media session with reporters on Saturday, just a couple of days ahead of the Rose Bowl. The Wolverines will play the Alabama Crimson in this year's game, which will serve as one of the two College Football Playoff semifinals.

During the press conference, Harabaugh decided to share the hypothetical star rating Jesus would have had if he was a high school football player. "Jesus would have been a five-star," Harbaugh said.

Harabaugh suggested that Jesus would likely use sports analogies on a routine basis if he was on earth during the current era. The ninth-year Michigan coach shared his belief that Jesus would be an outstanding coach.
