Carmichael attended Raines High School where he played Quarterback. He went on to attend Southern University playing Quaterback, until switching his position to Tight End and Wide Receiver in the NFL. Some believe that had African American Quarterbacks been given the same opportunities then as they do today, Carmichael may have remained a Quarterback. Retiered from the NFL in 1984, Harold now works for the Philadelphia Eagles apart of their front office. He was inducted into the Philadelphia Eagles Hall of Fame in 1987.
