Harbaugh-isms Whiteboard Photo
Marty Smith was in Ann Arbor today for a piece on Harbaugh that is set to air during week 1 College Gameday. He tweeted out a photo of the quote board Harbaugh has in his office - I think I remember a blurry image capture of this being passed around a couple years ago from some mgoblue video, but there are some gems here. Hope the embed works:
Within his office, @CoachJim4UM has a massive whiteboard covered with Harbaughisms.

For a complete analysis from over a year ago...

A few still remain from the original article. I hope to see a breakdown of what stayed, what is gone, and what is new.
It is a glimpse into the mind of our beloved madman.

“A sign of high integrity is not worried about being F.O.I.A.’d”

I like the one below it, direct shot at Urbs- "A fundamental prerequisite of high integrity is not lying"

The "lose to rivals" one is strange.
August 20th, 2018 at 5:55 PM ^
I'm missing that one?
August 21st, 2018 at 8:27 AM ^
It's not as strange as, "don't develop quarterbacks".

The FOIA one is classic!

Beeks? That sounds exactly like Beaks. You know what else has a beak? Chickens. Are you a nervous bird, Clarence? Are you!? You're not Michigan Man material.

Thought I'd pass on, alot of sparties are making cracks .when referring to chicken they call it nervous bird... My gosh, M is still in their heads .

Sparty? I care very little for what those "jive turkeys" think! I fully embrace Harbaugh's quirkiness. It's what sets him apart from all those dullards who coach football. Coach Harbaugh seems the genuine article. Can we say that about the overwhelming majority of other programs coaches?
Go Blue!

Go Blue, “Who got it better than us!”

In your delusions, nobody!
In reality.... Screw it. Keep living in the era of leather helmets and scheduling high schools.

What are you doing here? Isn't it your turn to walk the basset hound?
August 20th, 2018 at 10:41 PM ^
"Don't get bitter, get better" is still my favorite.
August 20th, 2018 at 11:06 PM ^
I'm a little disappointed that my new favorite didn't make the whiteboard. "Don't eat chicken... it's a nervous bird".
That's absolutely hilarious! It's so quirky. It's so Harbaugh. It's a part of his personality that makes him such a unique, interesting guy. His quote about playing football as long as he could, then coach, then die... "preferably on the field" simply cracks me up every time I think about it. And, when he'd pound on Speight's shoulder pads before the game, I'd get so fired up that I'd damn near run through the tv.

Too bad the search committee wasn't aware of this one before Harbaugh was hired:
"I've been known to come through on occasion."
