I understand about not wanting to read the FREEP, so read the following one sentence synopsis and a couple choice quotes to get the jist of the article.

Beilein spent a full day in the submarine with Coach Harbaugh during fall practice and came away very impressed by what he called "Harbaugh's Impact". 

"I just like the atmosphere, the environment of a practice. I don't pretend to know anything about football, so I don't judge him in any other way. I want to be known as a teacher myself, and that's what I saw when I went to practice."

"What you do is you don't amass talent, you build a team," he said. "That's what everybody's got these roles and if you make everybody feel really important in their role great things can happen.

Have a great day, and forever GO BLUE! Beat The TURTLES!

Both coaches here are very good tactical coaches, and both seem to do a great job of coaching players up and molding a very good team from whatever talent they have to work with.

I wonder if, as their relationship continues, they may be able to offer each other some fresh perspectives and help each other grow and improve even more as coaches.

"I want to be known as a teacher myself..." That's like Clapton saying, "I'd like to be known as a guy who could play the guitar a little bit." Mission Accomplished, Coach.
