Why John Harbaugh?

[HornEsch]

I think he has a great football mind and work ethic. My major concerns are around the differences in the college game with regards to recruiting and how much less time he would have to coach up the team. I think he is a big name and could be great, but there are more risks with him imho.

I found a pretty good read on John Harbaugh. Im more sold on him after reading this:

- from the article -

His attention to detail was key in turning the Ravens from underachievers to a perennial playoff team. His commitment to discipline changed the bad-boy culture in Baltimore. Last season's Super Bowl team featured just six players (Lewis, Suggs, Ed Reed, Haloti Ngata, Marshal Yanda and Sam Koch) who were on the team before Harbaugh. For the most part, these were his guys.

Expectations for John Harbaugh have always been high, starting when Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti, left, hired him in 2008.

When you sign up for Harbaugh's program, you're required to follow the rules at practice. Run full speed. Tuck in your shirts. Buckle your chinstrap. And don't ever think of sitting down. The signs posted throughout Ravens headquarters -- like W.I.N. (What's Important Now) and Team, Team, Team -- seem more suited for a college setting, but Harbaugh is all about professionalism. If you're not playing the best at that position, Harbaugh won't put you on the field, and it doesn't matter if you're a former Pro Bowl player. Chris McAlister and Bryant McKinnie learned that the hard way.

Drag worm.....thanks for posting.

I had heard he was a stern taskmaster and disciplinarian. Also a better personality to work with than his brother. I feel we would be lucky to get him
