Harbaugh-isms Whiteboard Photo

Submitted by SAMgO on

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.

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!

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.
