In Michelle Obama's final speech as first lady Friday in Washington, she took the opportunity to tell a joke at Jim Harbaugh's expense.

The Michigan coach and his wife, Sarah, who have been to the White House on multiple occasions, were in attendance for the Reach Higher & Counselor of the Year event, where Obama gave them a humorous shoutout.

"Coach Jim Harbaugh and his beautiful wife, who's a lot better looking than him," Obama joked, according to Angelique Chengelis of the Detroit News.

The Harbaughs have worked with Obama to promote higher education on her Reach Higher Initiative throughout her time as first lady.

The coach posted a picture of his wife at the White House, noting that the couple is expecting its fourth child in exactly 30 days.
