American Football coach Jim Harbaugh once guest-starred on which TV show?

James Joseph "Jim" Harbaugh (born December 23, 1963) is the head football coach for the University of Michigan and a former quarterback. As quarterback at the University of Michigan, Jim Harbaugh guided the team to two bowl games and was named to the 1986 All-American team. While playing in the NFL, he went to the 1995 Pro Bowl and, to this day, still holds the Chicago Bears record for most completions. He coached the Stanford football team to its best season in a generation and almost singlehandedly transformed the San Francisco 49ers from an under .500 team to one of the best in the NFL in a single season.

While all of the things are undeniably impressive, there’s one thing that really stands out: guest-starring on Saved By The Bell: The New Class as the cousin of Samuel “Screech” Powers back in the 1990s when he was quarterback of the Indianapolis Colts.

Sadly, since this was the universally panned “New Class” and not the beloved original version, Harbaugh wasn’t able to get caught up in one of Zack Morris’s hare brained schemes. Instead, all he got to do was hang out at the Maxx and impart some life lessons about the importance of teamwork to one of Assistant Principal Screech’s students.
