Paul Finebaum agrees with Illinois coach Bret Bielema when it comes to Jim Harbaugh.

In fact, the SEC Network analyst took even further.

“I’ve always liked Bret,” Finebaum said on “The Paul Finebaum Show” on Wednesday, per On3. “He was fun when we were together. But he is right. Harbaugh is just a disingenuous fraud about all the things he used to say. He didn’t want to face the music. By the way, Michigan didn’t really want him to stay.”

Bielema didn’t hold back this week after it was reported Michigan planned to fight the allegations in the sign-stealing scandal.

The Illinois coach re-posted old videos of the Harbaugh, the former Michigan coach, speaking about truth and integrity.

The remarks were a reaction to the video in which the now-Los Angeles Chargers coach said, “Tell the truth. Always. If you lie … It’s over.”

Bielema also reacted to a Harbaugh video in which the coach states “If you cheat to win, you’ve already lost.”

“Really…. Why did you leave?” Bielema posted on X. “Was looking forward to playing but understand why you ran to the NFL. See you in the future and can’t wait.”
