He's just enjoying himself, in a football way.

Harbaugh's mantra is simple: if you aren't working as hard as you possible can, you aren't working hard enough. Its what separates the best from the rest

tweet after tweet about how Harbaugh was the first one to contact them. It was one thing when it was the top recruits from Michigan, but then it was many top recruits around the country. Imagine if he actually liked recruiting.
I assume Dantonio is looking good, because he had plenty of beauty sleep before contacting the recruits. Some need it and some don't.

No respect I tell ya.

I've never seen a top-5 team with a 1st round, preseason All-American, fringe Heisman candidate at QB try to play the disrespect, "something to prove", card so much. Then again, when was the last time Sparty was a top-5 team?
I wanted to hand these douchebags their first L of the season, but now I want us to hang their third of fourth L on them.

On Oct. 17th. Book it!

Years in a row, people are laughing at you, not with you. You just can't take anything away from the guy who wins. That goes double for the Loser, meaning UM
September 2nd, 2015 at 7:51 AM ^
He attacks recruiting with enthusiasm unknown t mankind. No problem with that.
September 2nd, 2015 at 7:56 AM ^
How does he have that much energy? Not that I don't love it, but seriously, I could never possibly keep up with him if I had to.

Nobody can.

As you approach the speed of Jim Harbaugh, enthusiasm increases exponentially into a singularity of Enthusiasm Unknown to Mankind. I think the formula is something like E = JH2.
September 2nd, 2015 at 10:12 AM ^
I believe the formula is actually JH=E^2
September 2nd, 2015 at 7:58 AM ^
Couldn't it just be a trusted staff member using JH's twitter?
September 2nd, 2015 at 8:03 AM ^
Harbaugh is like Santa. He's everywhere, and he sees you if you question his EUTM.
September 2nd, 2015 at 9:01 AM ^
Even if is isn't Harbaugh himself, I think the important takeaway is that this staff is all about attention to detail and JH will make sure his staff identifies and pursues every competitive advantage.

There's a free article on 247 about this from yesterday. No need to bother giving freep clicks to get this info. They likely got the info from 247 anyway.
September 2nd, 2015 at 8:12 AM ^
Serious question. I looked before posting but only saw a paywalled link at 247.
September 2nd, 2015 at 10:11 AM ^
If you look at Steve Lorenz twitter activity, you can see tweet after tweet of Harbaugh being the first to contact recuits.
September 2nd, 2015 at 8:03 AM ^
Did he have to wait until 12:00am local time or could he start sending them at 10:00pm in Utah because it was 12:00am in Michigan?
September 2nd, 2015 at 8:16 AM ^
Good question. If that's the case I wonder why west coast coaches don't take advantage of this all the time.

I don't want to blow your mind, but midnight in Michigan and 10 p.m. in Utah actually are the same time. If coaches on the west coast had to wait for midnight local time, wouldn't that actually be a disadvantage?
September 2nd, 2015 at 8:11 AM ^
Jim said - he wants to do well for those that love Michigan. Great job coach!!
September 2nd, 2015 at 8:13 AM ^
HE DOESN'T SLEEP!!!!!! HAIL!!
September 2nd, 2015 at 8:15 AM ^
They already sent out at least one new offer, to 2017 Pennsylvania CB Lamont Wade.
September 2nd, 2015 at 8:28 AM ^
The recruiting site DawgNation, which covers Georgia recruiting, told a few stories in a piece today about Harbaugh's relentless approach, including one player who wasn't even considering U-M as a finalist, but still got 20 hand-written letters from Harbaugh before committing to Georgia.
The family recalls Harbaugh wrote Charlie, his father, his sister, his uncle Scott Woerner and even his girlfriend. He was always encouraging him to think about Michigan.
September 2nd, 2015 at 8:25 AM ^
some kind of shield for his phone so he can tweet in bed without waking his wife up. Either that or he's under the covers like he's reading a book with a flashlight.
September 2nd, 2015 at 8:48 AM ^
did a doubletake at your last word there

on the number of his staff members that end up in rehab for coke and/or meth trying to keep up with him?

Powdered caffeine is legal.

than coke. Stupid drug laws.

You can spend a month working with staffers on how to approach each recruit and what to tweet when midnight rolls around. Harbaugh could send it out himself or someone else could do it. He's not sitting up at night composing tweets after midnight just before the first game of the season. That doesn't make it insincere. It just means he has quickly built an organization that is highly skilled, well organized, fully bought-in, and totally enthusiastic. His tweets come from him but they come from the whole program. He is the program and the program is Harbaugh.
September 2nd, 2015 at 9:31 AM ^
HARBAUGH!

September 2nd, 2015 at 10:42 AM ^
Do all coaches do this or is it really just Harbaugh?
September 2nd, 2015 at 10:44 AM ^
This was a punch to the gut:
Another major difference? The head coach was sending direct messages (DMs) on Twitter.
While former U-M coach Brady Hoke refused to have a Twitter account, Jim Harbaugh not only uses it for promotion, he used it aggressively this morning, sending DMs to many of the top prospects...
This isn't groundbreaking information but seeing it side by side and seeing the response from current recruits, it was a real punch to the gut for me.
September 2nd, 2015 at 11:02 AM ^
what if Harbaugh woke these kids up with his late night messages? Hoke was much more considerate.
September 2nd, 2015 at 5:56 PM ^
He said that he doesn't even text.
Didn't eat before games (even night games).
Didn't wear a headset.
Didn't wear long sleeves in the winter.
Wouldn't let the players wear visors.
How'd that work out for ya Brady?
