After accidentally accompanying a front page story about outgoing San Francisco 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh with a picture of his brother, Baltimore Ravens coach John Harbaugh, the Detroit Free Press took another crack at it Tuesday, getting it right this time.
Jim Harbaugh has parted ways with the 49ers and will soon take control of the University of Michigan’s football program, the university expected this afternoon to announce the hire formally.
Unfortunately for the Detroit Free Press, the newspaper on Monday published a front page story speculating about the possible university hire, including in its headline a picture of the wrong Harbaugh:
The Michigan-based newspaper was a good sport about it, though, apologizing profusely on Twitter after it realized its mistake.
“We’ve got a serious ‘Case of the Mondays,’” the newspaper said. “Our deepest apologies, folks. We’ll have the right one tomorrow, promise.”
