A quick look at a great week with the family in Northern Michigan and more access to my personal social media: https://t.co/DvKX7MNXCR

Urgent text from one SEC coach to another: "Shit, another f'ing unfair advantage. How the hell am I supposed to keep up with this? Youtube videos of wholesome family vacations? WTF's next?"
enjoy his 'family time' if he now has to figure out how to upload videos to youtube? I guess he can figure things out after this season when he has a little more free time.
Coach is staying busy
Someone needs to teach him about the evils of vertical video.
Camp Michigania !! I have heard a lot of very funny stories about his week. More of the classic Harbaugh stories we all love.
I'm trying to think of the last college football coach that had such a large personal presence alongside the football presence. Some potential candidates: Steve Spurrier at Florida, Lou Holtz at Notre Dame, Barry Switzer at Oklahoma. Those were all before social media.
By contrast, Saban and Meyer are robots; successful at their craft, but their personal presence lacking. And other colorful people -- Mike Leach comes to mind -- don't have the national football impact. Dabo Swinney has the potential, but to date has not achieved the same level.
Bobby Bowden was pretty folksy too without it coming off as fake.
Heard rumblings the Harbaughs were going to be at Camp Michigania this week. Glad to know they had a great week, and that it seems the other campers were pretty respectful of not turning it into a social media circus so they could have a relaxing vacation. Greatest place on earth.
I assume that with Harbaugh wandering around Camp Michigania, the physical fitness related items just got that much more intense. The campers will not know what hit them, I would think, but they will be the better for the experience. Enthusiasm unknown to mankind and all that, you understand.
No offense but if I had to choose between a robot who has won as many national championships as Saban or as many Superbowls as Belichick or a colorful guy with a presence (Trump, anyone?) I'd take the success. They might be boring but they win. Maybe Harbaugh will get both. The verdict is yet to be seen.
I take offense at this. No one should ever choose Saban over Harbaugh.
For the record I never said I like the guy. I was talking in terms of personality. A robot personality who does nothing but win vs a charismatic personality who is very very very good but not quite where the other is (yet).
Focusing like a laser on wins and not considering a person's personality and character is a recipe for disaster (see: MSU, PedoState, Baylor, OleMiss, etc.). Give me a very very very good Harbaugh any day of the week. Over anyone.
