Harbaugh and Durkin once babysat 2016 DE Recruit Connor Murphy

Submitted by The Mad Hatter on

Harbaugh and Durkin were on an official visit to recruit Connor's older brother Trent to Stanford in 2009.  The boys' mother went into labor and so Harbaugh and Durkin stayed behind to babysit while mom and dad went to the hospital.

They were there for several hours babysitting six kids, including then 8 year old Connor.  They played chess and drank milk.

Connor is now a 4* WDE.

I don't live in a tree anymore.  I live in a house that's been outfitted with synthetic trees.  I learned to type from my father.  He actually only had one hand, but was still able to type pretty well.  I've gotten to 65 words per minute.

This story would've been slightly better if Harbaugh and Durkin had delivered the baby.   But only slightly better.   I can't imagine having Harbaugh as my babysitter.  Besides chess, I'm sure they lounged around and read "Good Night Moon" a few times.

That story is all kinds of awesome.    Didn't Harbaugh save someone from a wreck this year? That person is destined to have a 5* recruit as a son who later plays for Harbaugh.
