I have a friend who played at Stanford under Harbaugh. The view from a lot of former players is he is not a players coach, burns too many bridges. He also said that the development of Luck is overblown, he would have been drafted number 1 on his own.

20 times Jim Harbaugh proved he is batshit crazy....
20 Times Jim Harbaugh Proved He’s Completely, Bat-Sh*t Crazy - Lost Lettermen
1. He ate cereal with Gatorade
2. Upon meeting his future wife, Sarah, he called her nine times in an attempt to take her out before she replied.
3. In March 2015, Harbaugh congratulated Judge Judy Sheindlin on her contract extension, saying he was a “devout fan.” That was corroborated by subsequently re-surfaced video of him and his dad, Jack, in the audience for a taping of “Judge Judy.” He also thinks she should be on the Supreme Court.
4. Before his first spring practice as Michigan coach, Harbaugh likened it to “coming out of a mother’s womb.” Has Harbaugh ever seen “The Miracle of Life”? While every human should have a basic understanding of how birthing works, he could’ve used a less-gross analogy.
5. Harbaugh brought an unconventional coaching tactic with him to Ann Arbor, making players and units who win drills run extra, not those who lose. His reasoning? Those who win drills get the opportunity to make themselves better players. His team has embraced the tactic according to Mark Snyder of the Detroit Free Press, so clearly no one is winning drills at Michigan this spring.
6. Jim Scwartz
7. En route to a huge upset over Pete Carroll and USC in 2009, Harbaugh and Stanford went for a 2-point conversion after a Toby Gerhart score put the Cardinal up 48-21 with 6:47 left in the game. When the two coaches met at midfield following the 55-21 romp, Carroll asked, “What’s your deal?” Naturally, Harbaugh’s response was, “What’s YOUR deal?”
8. A Michigan Daily profile told the story of when Harbaugh, in his first year at Stanford, once wiped his hand on his right tackle’s bloody arm, then wiped the blood on his face like war paint. According to the story, “Harbaugh told his players that he wanted to play in the game alongside them. He wanted this so badly that he informed his players that he wanted their blood on him if they bled during that week’s game.”
9. Harbaugh is the most ruthless laser tag player since Barney Stinson, and even Harbaugh may have him beat. Harbaugh went laser tagging for his bachelor party in 2008 (before his second marriage) and according to an MLive column from December 2014, took no prisoners, regardless of age.
Harbaugh won. Because he always wins. But upon further examination of where each person’s shots came from, it became clear why he won in such a landslide.
“All his shots came against this 10-year-old kid,” laughs Eric Bakhtiari, who played for Harbaugh in college and in the NFL with the 49ers. “He just sat there, hunting this 10-year-old kid so he could win.”
This is at once ridiculous behavior for a human adult and very believable because it’s Jim Harbaugh.
10. When Harbaugh expresses solidarity with his players, he goes extra hard. During his days as FCS San Diego’s head coach, Harbaugh would run hills with his players until he vomited. Then he’d run through it. Nobody pulls off the boot ‘n rally quite like Harbaugh.
11. Also early in his coaching career, Harbaugh wanted to prove to his players that he could do 100 push-ups in a row. Ageless wonder that he is, he plateaued around 30 only to build reps in the ensuing weeks, eventually surpassing 100 and hitting 110. He cannot be stopped.
12. Harbaugh once took a trip to Six Flags Discovery Kingdom and partook in a push-up contest with Siku the walrus. There wasn’t a clear winner or loser, which was probably a real disappointment for Harbaugh, who would probably not stand losing to a walrus.
13. While in the Hoosier State for the 2012 NFL Scouting Combine, Harbaugh’s brother in law — IU head basketball coach Tom Crean — invited him to take in a game from his team’s bench. Just spectating was going to be tough for Harbaugh, though, who spent the game as an acting student manager. This was a month after reaching the NFC Championship Game in his first season as an NFL head coach.
14. The Bears intended for Harbaugh to carry a clipboard as a rookie in 1987, but Harbaugh insisted he play — on special teams. Yes, Chicago’s first-round QB wanted to play on special teams. He told ESPN’s Seth Wickersham an embarrassing story about getting blown up in coverage.
15. Wickersham wrote that Harbaugh “almost pathologically cloaks himself in catch phrases and quotes.” When it comes to who Harbaugh likes to invoke, the lineup is as impressive as it is eclectic: Abraham Lincoln, Ernest Hemingway, Johnny Cash, Shakespeare, God, Nelson Mandela, Judge Judy, Bo Schembechler and Calvin Coolidge. After losing to the Seahawks in the 2014 NFC Championship Game, he busted out some Hemingway, saying: “A man can be destroyed but not defeated.” Whatever you say, coach.
16. His cameo on “Saved by the Bell: The New Class” is a sight to be seen, marked by an after school special-esque speech about how being famous does not make you a hero. Coaching was just always in his blood, even in the blood of the fictionalized version of himself
17. Harbaugh appeared in a 1994 episode of “The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.” as Mason “Cowboy” Dixon, alongside fellow football stars Terry Bradshaw, Carl Banks and Ken Norton Jr.
18. However disgusted the coach of your favorite team gets at bad calls (except for maybe South Carolina fans), he doesn’t come close Harbaugh. Whether it was his pleading for a holding call in the Super Bowl or this meltdown from the preceding NFC Championship Game, Harbaugh’s tantrums are second to none.
19. Harbaugh replicated a recruit’s prom proposal in attempt to entice the recruit to Michigan. Vigilant and keen, creepy, or both?
20. The grandaddy of all Harbaugh idiosyncrasies: those khakis. Harbaugh puts his pants on in the morning just like the rest of us, one leg at a time. Except despite making millions of dollars, Harbaugh insists on wearing $8 pleated khakis from Walmart for each game. And when his pants are on, they perpetuate his classic, unflinching look.

Lol. ND would never take him. Kid is a pot-head who likes partying more than he likes football/school. He's not an ND kid. Wouldn't fit in at all.
Sounds like he's going to SEC-land. Perfect fit.

The real question: Does he like guns?

Only when rolling deep with 4 teammates, driving way too fast... with a dime bag in his sock.

Wait. What? All they had between the five of the was a dime bag? And they all took a ride for that? Or was it more because of the gun? I don't know what it's like to police in SB or Indiana n but going to jail for a dime bag between 5 people is kinda weak sauce. Yes it's illegal but just write them a ticket to come to court at a later date, no need for jail.

I'm speculating on the amount they had, hence the italics. Obviously the gun possession is more severe, especially if unlicensed.

I agree. He's the kinda guy you hate, but would love to have.
He can recruit his ass off, and will go the extra mile.
Only problem is that it seems people get tired of his act (or attitude) very quickly. Probably doesn't play ball with the powers that be
