And when you realize where average intellegence is you realize that 50% of people are dumber than that.
Also, twitter commentators probably are not average. They're likely at least educated through 8th grade and at least decently well off to be on the internet. If we're talking global, probably in the top 30% of education and income, easily.

A little over a quarter of those guys played for the Niners. I would expect that inflates the numbers a tad, but not by much.
Awesome infographic!

He's not counting guys that he coached in SF but did not sign. This is basically a list of all of the players he signed at Stanford who eventually made the league, against the total number of guys he signed at Stanford.
It also throws in the few San Diego players who made the league, though I don't think that school offered any athletic scholarships.
November 6th, 2015 at 3:41 PM ^
I'm struggling to figure out the numbers here. Even though FCS only allows 62 scholarship players, Harbaugh must have had much more than 106 shcolarship players in his 7 years of college coaching right? Where is the cutoff in that number?
November 6th, 2015 at 3:45 PM ^
USD did not offer scholarships. Details here:

Thanks for the clarification. Not that turning 4 walk-on FCS level players into NFL caliber players isn't impressive (it's actually more so), wouldn't that make the statistic 54 out of 108 scholorship players made the NFL? Still very impressive regardless.
November 6th, 2015 at 3:45 PM ^
I think it only counts his Stanford classes, 4 * 27 = 108.
Also it's only the players he signed, not the ones there already when he started coaching there.
November 6th, 2015 at 6:03 PM ^
I don't think that's true. For example, from what I can tell, Richard Sherman joined the team in 2006 while Harbaugh didn't join until 2007. There's not a great way to define this because you can't just look at those he coached or else it skews it out of his favor. It's also unfair to count the guys that he recruited but never coached.
November 6th, 2015 at 3:42 PM ^
Trying to make sense of the numbers. In 6 years as head coach he only recruited 106 players? Maybe small classes in first and last class? Please enlighten me.

I thought this was a thread about Peppers...
November 6th, 2015 at 3:52 PM ^
If only the people in charge of the Athletics' logo realized that an apostrophe in it is grammatically incorrect.
November 6th, 2015 at 4:02 PM ^
Actually, using an apostrophe in a plural form of a letter or abbreviation is correct. "A's" is correct usage.
November 6th, 2015 at 4:02 PM ^
Apostrophes can be used for contractions not just possessive nouns. Like can't instead of cannot. So A's instead of Athletics is not grammatically incorrect.

You're not completely wrong. It will apply to Peppers....
November 6th, 2015 at 3:48 PM ^
Not 1 Lion was coached by Harbaugh in college?
Sounds about right.

And Mayhew wasted two first round picks on a TE.

I have a feeling you could punch some holes in this without much trouble, but it's amazing.
November 6th, 2015 at 5:20 PM ^
True, but you'd have to punch A LOT of holes in it before it loses the message or value.

the all pros coached by Harbaugh.
November 6th, 2015 at 4:14 PM ^
I keep saying this ... Michigan is the new NFLU. It's only year 1 but it'll ramp up really freaking fast. Top recruits who want to make millions will stand in line to play for a chance to play for Michigan's Jim Harbaugh. Welcome to the hoover vacuum cleaner of talent years.

If you say you spelled it wrong on purpose it kind of defeats the purpose, you know?
November 6th, 2015 at 4:16 PM ^
Can't you read? He said he spelt it wrong on purpose, moran.
November 6th, 2015 at 4:13 PM ^
Catch phrases have a tendency of dying meek deaths in the face of cold reality. Not only does Harbaugh sell results but he throws in a strong chance at tickets to The_Show if you have the talent and desire to do the work.

committing to coaches and not the school philosphy, one that I agree with. I have read a lot of posters say it is all about committing to the school and no one should commit to a coach. Harbaugh disagrees!
November 6th, 2015 at 4:21 PM ^
Incredible record.

This is the type of thing you can show a hater/doubter, and all they can do is shrug and shake their head. Many more wins yet to come for JH. Many more players to mold and send to the NFL. This year is just a preview, and it's been a pretty good one.

I believe it's players drafted and/or signed as FAs, but not certain.
November 6th, 2015 at 5:46 PM ^
It's impressive regardless (truly), but if we are talking about training camp invites and practice, then even Hoke and RR's lists will be pretty long too (obviously lacking the top end NFL success though).

Well. That seems like the kind of statistic that could be tactically used in recruiting. I'd be curious to see what the "gets drafted in the NFL" rate is for other elite coaches.

He naturally gave scholarships at MSU and LSU but that is dangerously like work which is a topic I avoid.
