Read this again w/ new perspective: Congratulations on the purchase of your new Harbaugh!

He's not wearing cleats in that picture! :-)

"There are still a few bugs in the answer-response system. For instance, you may sense – due to a long pause – that your Harbaugh has completed an answer. You will begin to ask another question. You could be two sentences into your question when your Harbaugh suddenly continues his answer to the previous question. You will feel stupid. Do not be alarmed. This is normal."

I heard a lot about Harbaugh but don't remember hearing about this before the season started. But I noticed this reading almost every presser.

I can't say I've ever wanted to kick him in the shins.

I ran across this article a few days before we discussed it on the board back when.  I REALLY, REALLY appreciated it then and got a chuckle about the boards reaction to it when it was posted here.

Reread it... still strong.  Good writing (nice change of pace!)

Coach looks better in black shoes...cleated.

Did not read that article before.  Interesting that the author gets Harbaugh at the same time that he does not get him.  At the end of the day I bet he misses having him at the helm of the 49ers. 

In fact, I was in Napa recently and the locals (most of whom are/were 49er fans) would get all fired up to talk Harbaugh when they saw my crew in UM colors. 

"Your Harbaugh will not alter his attire in a 1,460-day span. This is normal."

Could not be happier that this man is our coach and fearless leader. 

Your Harbaugh may inexplicably tarnish an impeccably coached football game by inserting a particular offensive package or formation that nobody can figure out let alone actually execute.  This glitch is not fully understood.

Your Harbaugh will never look defeated.  It he feels defeated he will only look puzzled.  Technitions believe he does not entirely understand the concept of defeat and that his look of bewilderment is entirely legitimate.

The knock on him not staying at a place more than 4 years.  It's brought up in the article, and I'm sure it's been talked about here, but for some reason it kind of pisses me off that they knock him for it.  Do people not realize that each time he left, it was 1. For more money and 2. An obvious upgrade over his previous position.  

He leaves USD to coach Stanford...a pretty obvious "promotion".  He then go to the 49ers...of the NFL...yea...a pretty big step up.  

The only knock could be on his departure from the 49ers, but given Jed York and how poorly he has handeled...well....everything...it seems pretty clear that the "only stays at one place for 4 years" label, while technically accurate, shouldn't be a label that sticks with him.

 

"The reasonable man adapts himself to the word; the unreasonable man persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.  Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man."

Amazon.com has warned its customers that their new Harbaugh may catch fire during recharging, due to an excessively large lithium battery...

Your Harbaugh has been designed for combat and will pick a fight with the biggest bully around within 6 months...

Still waiting on this one!

A good read and much appreciated.  I noticed that there appeared to be a little buyer's remorse from the previous Harbaugh owner:

"You are guaranteed to have many memorable moments with your Harbaugh, but it is important to note that it is not designed for use beyond four years."

Apparently, they didn't read the fine print in their Harbaugh instruction manual:

"Your Harbaugh is best utilized with college athletes, as most (but not all) are still capable of being coached and haven't completely turned into spoiled, highly paid prima donnas.  Use of your Harbaugh with professional athletes is discouraged and not covered under warranty beyond 3 years."
