We should all have this dedication to our profession and enthusiam for our life.  He is a great role model for the players and should be for all of us, too.

Respect.

That's just awesome.  First, because it's true at some level.  Second, because he just whittled away at the foundation of MSU's recent football success.

I had half the passion for my job that Harbaugh has for football 

Too late. Gene Wojciechowski only mentioned Meyer.  Yes, JH brought up Dantonio, but he was second in the interview and an impromptu add-on by JH. DISRESPEKT!!!

It moved

when you know what it is that excites you at work and at home; when you know what you're gonna do until the day you die. When you are truly engaged in all aspects of what makes you tick and relate to the world around you, then there is no down time for feeling as if you are missing something, only perhaps the dream of recreating that part of your life which you can no longer experience the same way, playing versus coaching football.

Jim loves to experience new things. He loves the opportunity to share new things with his family, which for him, means both those he shares time with at home and at work. The way Jim goes about things is more an expression of his personality in navigating choices and opportunities. And until you understand that, I think trying to assess what he does through the prism of your own experience or realm of seeing and doing things, is why so many journalists and critics might suggest that he borders on the nutty. But to JIm, these are all natural responses to living his life. Who's got it better than us, is a family mantra, for being happy with the blessings of having great parents, siblings and a great home life. And now it takes on new meaning.

So, sitting in Bo's chair as a kid and then dreaming he would one day be like him, comes full circle when he actually sits behind his desk and now goes to kid's homes and schools and then sits in the principal's office at some recruit's school, his hat tilted on his head, eating a piece of licorice, and he greets a kid with a huge smile on his face, and radiates the pleasure of a life well lived. Who's got it better than him? Nobody, I'd say. And because of that, so do we. Go Blue!

just more reasons to love Coach Harbaugh. He is intriguing, funny, and just brilliant in so many respects. I also liked the 'respect' comment on the other coaches, and agree with the aforementioned point of how that deteriorates the faux-disrespect meme sparty totes around. Good read.

his own cleats and glove, scouting with greg maddux, etc...no, hes not nuts...everyone does that

Was this a compilation of old questions and answers, or were these questions that were recently asked again and answered in the exact same way as the first time?
