Michigan football coach Jim Harbaugh enthusiastically announces birth of son

Harbaugh announces newborn son on Twitter

Jim Harbaugh took to Twitter Wednesday to announce the birth of his son, John Harbaugh, in true Jim Harbaugh fashion.

"Arriving early, weighing in at 4 lb 13 oz, with an 18 in wing span, our newest Wolverine teammate, John Harbaugh. Precious ... God is good ..." Harbaugh tweeted Wednesday afternoon.

It's only fitting that Harbaugh announced the birth of his son like the announcer at a boxing match. As he does in almost every situation, he appears to be attacking the latest addition to his life with an enthusiasm unknown to mankind.

Harbaugh later tweeted "John's first words uttered and witnessed by Deb Berman and great (Mott Children's Hospital) staff were 'who's got it better than us?'"

Entering his third year as the head coach of Michigan football, Harbaugh is in the midst of recruiting season as National Signing Day draws closer.
