just looked like he truly, honestly, did not know how to relate to this man sitting next to him.  Harbaugh might as well have been a Golden Retriever fielding questions from the audience and then looking to Fisher for additional comment.  That is how bewildered Fisher looked about the entire situation.

spent close to a minute breaking down his first encouter with a coconut.  We cannot put all of the blame on Fisher for his confusion.  Our coach is not a normal man.  Imagine trying to have a conversation with another adult dressed up in an Iron Man costume but not letting on that anything is unusual about it.  That is the Harbaugh effect.

"Harbaugh spent close to a minute breaking down his first encouter with a coconut"

 A coconut that he got out of the first palm tree he ever saw, on his own, using sticks and rocks.  He them opened said coconut using rocks and "a curb."  He then eat the coconut.  This all happened when he was a child, yet he remembers it in a way that makes you think he still has peices of the shell.

I love this man.

I sometimes think I get why there's a certain resentment out there on the part of rural people about how they are perceived. . .

People said the same thing about Bobby Bowden, and he came to town and kicked our asses up and down the field in 91 with a brand of football no one had ever seen.

As someone who grew up in a rural area on a farm, I can assure you that your hunch is 100% correct. Rural people know the perception of them, resent the hell out of it, and then often rally around the things that "city folks" resent about rural people (which is not an unnreasonable psychological reaction, I might add).

when people say Harbaugh is weird. Why? Because he is educated, experienced, adventurous, and gives rich illustrations to articulate his thoughts, or his answers to questions? That's not weird, that is intellectual sanity and clarity. His focus on tasks and his ability to multitask is outstanding. Try brilliant instead of weird, its a better fit

Cool things like not using the letter M and refusing to say Michigan.

It would be cool if it was original, we gave two shits about it besides laughing at them while they mess it up, or even remotely clever.

Little did I know that the Dos Equis commercial at the beginnign of the clip would foreshadow Jim's coconut gathering experience.  Jim Harbaugh is the most interesting man in the world.

Stay thirsty Harbaugh, stay thirsty.
