27 examples of Coach Harbaugh's competitiveness
"Jim Harbaugh is, without a doubt, one of the best coaches in football.
Before returning the Michigan Wolverines to the top of the college football polls, he led the San Francisco 49ers to three consecutive NFC Championships and one Super Bowl. Before that, he revived a dormant Stanford program.
No matter where he has coached, Harbaugh has been defined by a crazed sense of competitiveness that has often manifested itself in peculiar ways. He is also one of the most entertaining figures in all of sports.
Below we take a look at 27 examples of his insane competitiveness."

I can't help but think Harbaugh may be a fan of The Office.

for the most part. a couple of funny ones in there, but more of them are put there to try and not-so-subtley embarrass him, ending with a 'no telling what shennanigans' he'd be up to in the CFP if we make it.

Agree, it seems to me that the writer is trying to make Harbaugh out to be an idiot. Also, it doesn't appear to me that the fullback position is an irrelevant position. We've score at least 10 touchdowns using a fullback.
October 26th, 2016 at 7:41 AM ^
From the article: "He is obsessed with the fullback position, although it has been a somewhat irrelevant position in modern offenses."
Agree with you, amichfan2 ... I read that and thought, "Tell that to Khalid Hill."
It shows the writer's ignorance. The writer is probably one of those people who think that a running back is irrelevant -- go five-wide all the time and if you run the ball, have the QB do it.
What separates Harbaugh from the others is a willingness to use what techniques will allow him to win. If the FB position was ineffective, Harbaugh wouldn't use it. But it has proven effective. So it's used.

our offense is modern or not. It is either a throw-back or the most modern offense there is. 5 tight-end sets indicate it is certainly unique. Personally, I think it is the most modern offense there is, perfecting old pro offense characteristics.

I also got the impression that they were poking fun at Coach Harbaugh but, when you work for a shitty website like Business Insider that's starved for clicks, I guess you do what you have to do. Still, fuck 'em.
October 26th, 2016 at 12:08 AM ^
damn, got too excited.
October 26th, 2016 at 10:56 AM ^
wouldn't even care if the guy was trying to slam him. He would probably just shrug his shoulders and move on doing his thing. Harbaugh is a definitely a little odd, but he's one of the best football coaches in the world and his quirkiness is part of his genius. Sly as a fox.

He once delivered an impassioned eight-page speech to his team that included the following excerpt: "My opponent is going to have to die. But does he have to kill me too? He is killing me. But he has a right to. I have never seen a greater opponent than him."
OK, I missed this somewhere along the line but I laughed when I read that one. There is only one coach that could give that speech and he coaches the Michigan Wolverines.
October 25th, 2016 at 11:15 PM ^
Have to believe said speech sounded like Sun Tzu mixed with Jack Handey.

Win with character. Win with cruelty.

Only 27 ?
Did the author of that article get lazy and not want to write about the other million reasons ?

I saw my insufferable Spartan sister in law. She says, "I have a serious question for you. Do you honestly, truly, like Jim Harbaugh??" I'm not kidding. That was her question. I basically asked if she liked Dantonio and said that he's a douchecanoe and we both like our own coaches.
God, I hate them. The boys better be locked and loaded Saturday.

How has no one tracked down that 10-year old yet? I want to hear his life story. Is he emotionally scarred? Did Harbaugh give him a pep talk? Does he really remember it?
There's probably a 30-for-30 here somewhere.
October 26th, 2016 at 8:47 AM ^
How in the hell did I miss the Harbaugh-catching-a-mouse story? I practically live on the board.

The superstition of wearing his Stanford sweatshirt with a Niners logo sewed over the "S" was a new one for me. That is awesome that he would take the time to do that. ...and you know it was him that sewed it. Harbaugh!
October 26th, 2016 at 10:07 AM ^
Harbaugh don't do anything "practically"
