Ann Arbor is abuzz about Sunday’s Super Bowl, and for a very special reason: the competing teams’ head coaches are a notable part of the city’s history.

Jim’s older brother John was a defensive back and special teams coach for the Philadelphia Eagles and is now the head coach of the Baltimore Ravens.
Their biggest accomplishment is yet to come, and it will only be won by one of them: this Sunday they’ll face off in the Super Bowl.
The brothers, who made history by being the first brothers to compete for a national title Thanksgiving 2011, have recently attracted plenty of media attention –– see the list below.
