Tom Brady and Jim Harbaugh just teamed up to pull back the curtain on Michigan football’s two most recent national championship teams in a two-part documentary that is going to drop some serious knowledge on college football fans. Announced by FOX Sports and Shadow Lion, “The Team: Michigan Football” is executive produced by Brady and Harbaugh themselves, promising an inside look like no other.
The Eye of the Storm: Harbaugh’s Roots and 2023’s Triumph
Part one, titled “The Eye of the Storm,” is set to premiere Friday, November 27, at 7 p.m. ET on FOX, right before “The Game” kicks off the next day. This segment is diving deep into Harbaugh’s half-century connection to the program, tracing his journey from growing up around it all the way to leading the Wolverines to that epic 2023 College Football Playoff national championship. You know it’s going to be a wild ride, and they are bringing out the big guns for interviews, with former Michigan quarterback J.J. McCarthy and running back Blake Corum among those featured. What a lineup to hear from about that incredible run! Brady is even dropping some truth bombs in a first-look teaser, talking about embracing adversity. He says, “I hope this program is hard… I hope every day someone’s pushing you harder than you would push yourself because you’re never going to know what you’re made of if it ain’t hard.” That kind of grit is what builds champions, right?
Those Who Stay: Brady’s Climb and the 1997 Legacy
Then, part two, “Those Who Stay,” takes us back to the 1990s and that legendary run to the 1997 title. This one airs Saturday, December 12, at 6:30 p.m. ET on FOX, and it’s stacked with icons like Brady himself, Charles Woodson, and Brian Griese. We’re going to see Brady’s unbelievable climb from being a lightly recruited quarterback, all the way down at seventh on the depth chart, to snagging that starting job. Can you imagine the grind? The seven-time New England Patriots Super Bowl champ credits his five years in Ann Arbor for shaping him, stating, “Thank God I went to Michigan. Thank God I didn’t leave and go somewhere where they would make it easy on me.” He also added that thinking about his years at Michigan brings up a lot of emotions because “it really shaped who I became as a player and person.” That’s the kind of raw honesty you want from a legend.
Both parts of “The Team: Michigan Football” will not only air on FOX but will also stream live on FOX One. Mark your calendars, because this isn’t just about reliving old games; it’s about getting inside the minds of the guys who built these dynasties and what it truly takes to win.
