Harbaugh to Williams: "Please, will you run faster A.J."
https://www.michigandaily.com/section/football/harbaughs-manners-paying
I thought this story was hilarious and indicative of what a unique personality Harbaugh brings to the job. My assumption had been his motivational tactics were about just creating an atmosphere of constant competition, and then getting in the faces of players who weren't putting in sufficient effort.
That is, I'm sure, a large part of it, but Williams in this article says that with him Harbaugh said "Please, will you run faster A.J." (in my mind I hear Lord Grantham's voice from Downton Abbey saying this).
Anyway, I'm sure that one of the things great coaches learn is that you approach players differently, and AJ's success this year indicates that with him following the advice of all moms -- "say please and thank you" -- worked.

is the absolute worst college football comentator I have ever heard. I would prefer to have Pam Ward do the analysis. He talks about specific players that "suck" ... he should know since he has the track record of "sucking".
Go Blue!

I thought the next post would be Harbaugh's halloween idea.
I haven't seen it posted here yet...

he's got a picture of the little brown jug he'd like to share with us
October 29th, 2015 at 1:25 PM ^
Sort of.
You should read the article, there is much more there than was in the press conference that you're talking about. I came here prepared to down vote the op, but it's a good post.
October 29th, 2015 at 1:26 PM ^
mentioned in the JayBaugh presser too

Sounds like fun let me try: Michigan, can you please curb stomp Minnesota with a hot nail boot this weekend and return the Little Brown Jug back to it's rightful place? Thank you!
October 29th, 2015 at 1:53 PM ^
A hot nail boot?
As if curb stomping isn't enough, you need to heat up nails and attach them to your boot?
Man, thats rough.
October 30th, 2015 at 1:51 AM ^
Not 'hot nail'.

Mostly from Magnus (who is an idiot) about how AJ was underused and could be an asset to this offense. Everyone was saying how he was fat and useless, even blocking. I begged for some crossing routes and button hooks, the only one who supported my claim was SC...fancy that....I was right and Magnus, of course, was WROOOOOOONNNNGGGGG!!!! Idiots...

He should probably ask Rudock instead.
October 29th, 2015 at 2:21 PM ^
Wrong. Rudock is a fine QB; its Ruddock that needs the help!

Rudddddddddddddddddock?

We really need a football game to discuss.

Will the NWO Wolf Pack or NWO Black & White win at WCW Bash at the Beach this weekend on paperview? Do you think Stone Cold will stun the Rock tonight on WWF Thursday Night Smackdown?

I will start that thread, but only on one condition: you have to tell me who wins that playoff game this weekend? Dallas Cowboys or Detroit Lions? I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE A GOOD ONE!!!
