Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh had no shortage of moral support during the CFP National Championship game, with father Jack and brother John both in attendance at NGR Stadium in Houston on Monday night.
During the first half, Harbaugh seemed to feel the pressure when his brother, Baltimore Ravens coach John, surprised him on the sideline.
The Wolverines coach had his hands on his knees and his eyes on the grass when his older brother tapped him on the shoulder. The two then shared a heartwarming embrace.
Both brothers broke into smiles as they greeted each other. Weather conditions and a tornado threat in Houston had reportedly delayed John's arrival at the stadium.
Their father Jack, who wore a Wolverines hat, also appeared on ESPN's broadcast during the second quarter.

John Harbaugh was able to attend the game because his Ravens are on a bye week after securing the AFC's No. 1 seed in the NFL playoffs.
Baltimore went on a six-game winning streak before losing the season finale to the Steelers. Despite the loss, the Ravens had a 13-4 record as the AFC North leaders this season.
After missing the kickoff, John watched the rest of the game as the Wolverines dominated the Huskies.
Earlier this season, Michigan became embroiled in a sign stealing scandal, with the Big 10 suspending Jim Harbaugh for the final three games of the regular season.
