Coach Harbaugh's new Twitter page is racking up the followers

Submitted by snarling wolverine on

As of 10:45 p.m. Friday his Twitter page, created in the afternoon, had 91,100 followers.  He is already one of the 10 most-followed coaches in the NCAA.  The only coaches ahead of him: 

170K Urban Meyer

159K Butch Jones

153K Les Miles

149K Mark Richt

121K Brian Kelly

107K Bret Bielema

107K Gus Malzahn

96.2K Bo Pelini

94.1K James Franklin 

It's only a matter of time before IT HAPPENS and Jim takes over the top spot, I'm sure.

Hoke not having a twitter account was a little thing, but reflective of his stubbornness that brought down the program. Even if he didn't want to operate the thing, for the love of god have a staffer do the tweeting. Not having a twitter account in this social media environment when one of your main responsibilities is connecting with 16/17 year olds is a disaster.

If only you could run Twitter analytics on other accounts, I bet the chart would be phenomenal. All I can really tell you unfortunately is that all I had to do was notify and tell others to follow his account and the mere mention of that sent the engagement and impression ratings temporarily into the stratosphere(relative to the normal numbers)  for my own account. Can't imagine where that peaked on Jim's first tweet yesterday.

97.7k followers and counting, I checked last night before bed it was just over 92k.  I cannot WAIT for some of his tweets if he uses it at all like he used to...

Just checked the number and found that Coach Harbaugh is at 98.9k followers, so he's moved past Pellini and Franklin already.

I bet he tops 100k by the end of the weekend!
