I just realized what every picture of Finebaum reminds me of.

There’s a story about Leo Durocher in the book “The Boys of Summer,” Roger Kahn’s wonderful memoir of his time as a baseball reporter covering the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1952-53. Durocher, the former Brooklyn manager, was managing the hated New York Giants at this time – and because of his combative personality and big mouth, Durocher was hated more than anyone.

While coaching third base during one game, the bald Durocher took his hat off. One of the Brooklyn bench jockeys promptly yelled out:

“Hey skinhead! Put your cap on before somebody jerks you off!”

Finebaum even looks a little like Durocher. The analogy certainly fits.

must not sleep much. I know a lot of highly succesful people don't sleep much, but when you think about how much time he spends recruiting, game planning, strategizing and spending time with his family, you wonder how much Coach sleeps. We're lucky to have him. Go Blue.

my former co-worker in California here had a group business trip to UM, she met harbaugh and he gave them all a motivational speech. This is a random group of California workers, guess her boss is a big UM booster or something. But no, Harbaugh doesn't sleep if he gives random speeches like this to. Good news is they're 49er fans mostly to so they loved him from those days and knew who he was.

Harbaugh hire, but just to have his dad Norv, who is as close to an offensive "genius" as there is, to bounce ideas and analysis off of once in awhile can't hurt.

Looks like Scott Turner only played 3 years in college and never went on to play any form of professional football.

He just might have one year of eligibility left.

Harbaugh hired the guy as an assistant not to get his kid to play for Michigan.  He hired the guy as an assistant to get him to commit!

Harbaugh is just brilliant!

Take THAT Pete!
