Don't cry for me, San Francisco.
The most popular coach on social media Friday - in the midst of the NBA Finals, the Stanley Cup Final and the Major League Baseball season - was a college football coach by the name of Jim Harbaugh.

All the first-year University of Michigan coach had to do was take off his shirt during a satellite summer camp in Prattville, Ala.
Sporting News reported that the phrase, "Jim Harbaugh puts summer dadbod on full display" was trending on Twitter just 20 minutes after photos of the coach's pasty chest appeared on the social media site.

"This ups the ante a bit for those other coaches who aren't so comfortable with Harbaugh's skin," Sporting News reported. "Why? In plain sight, it's another all-out offensive measure from a Big Ten school looking to pull that 5-star talent out of the South."
Less than six months ago, Harbaugh was finishing a nasty divorce from the 49ers after an 8-8 season that kept the team from the playoffs for the first time in his four-year tenure.
Harbaugh had guided the Niners to a 44-19-1 record in the Bay Area, but strained relations with San Francisco management and owner Jed York led to a parting of the ways.
Rather than fighting the likes of the 49ers front office and Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll, Harbaugh is now trying to compete with the likes of Ohio State's Urban Meyer and Alabama's Nick Saban.
Harbaugh is doing a good job of getting under Saban's skin, according to the Indianapolis Star. The turnout of 475 players at the event was better than expected, the Montgomery Advertiser added.
Had Harbaugh stayed his final season at San Francisco, all the offseason stories would've been a continuation of the soap opera that was 49ers football in 2014. At Michigan, he is currently undefeated and undaunted.
Profootballtalk.com tweeted that the half-naked Harbaugh looked like "ET after Elliott's brother found him in the river."
Harbaugh can't buy better publicity than that.
