He was a natural leader. Harbaugh started only one season at Pioneer — located kitty corner across the street from Michigan Stadium — because his father became the defensive coordinator at Stanford and the family moved to California in , the last of Jim's 12 moves while he was growing up.
Harbaugh attended Palo Alto High School — located across the street from Stanford Stadium — where he spent his final two prep years as a three-sport star. Francis Elementary School, experiences at Tappan Junior High School, experiences at Pioneer High School, sitting in Bo's chair, sneaking into the IM building to play pickup basketball with some of the students when he was a freshman and sophomore at Pioneer High School — those were moments in his life that kids have that they remember forever.
Jim Harbaugh didn't stay away from Ann Arbor for long. He returned in when Schembechler, late in the recruiting season, finally offered him a scholarship. Although not a hotshot recruit with a national reputation, Harbaugh arrived with the aura of somebody who was going to be somebody. Jake Sweeney, U-M's long snapper for 48 straight games, saw it immediately. At times as a senior, Sweeney roomed before games with Harbaugh, a redshirt freshman. During drills, Harbaugh demanded perfection and yelled at his receivers.
It soured their relationship. He said, 'I now know what you were trying to tell me. Close enough for Hanlon to be in the room as Harbaugh was introduced Tuesday. Close enough for U-M to ask him to pose in pictures with Harbaugh.

At Stanford, he took a team to an Orange Bowl victory in four years. Some people look at Harbaugh and see a crazed lunatic. Somebody who picks fights and is too brash and cocky. A scrum ensued after his vigorous postgame handshake with Lions coach Jim Schwartz.
His relationship with the 49ers' management turned toxic this season. If there is one moment that sums up Harbaugh, it was his famous guarantee. Before the Michigan-Ohio State game, Harbaugh guaranteed a victory over the seventh-ranked Buckeyes. People have used that to describe Harbaugh's brashness and cockiness and self-assuredness and to a degree they are right.
But there is another part of the story that few fans know, besides the Wolverines' victory. At the same time Harbaugh made that guarantee, his father was about to be fired as the head coach at Western Michigan. When told by the Free Press what his son had done that November afternoon, Jack Harbaugh took a breath and said: "I know why he did that. Jack Harbaugh said that Jim made his outrageous statement to take the spotlight off his father and put it on himself. He returns to a vastly different program than the one he grew up around and later played for.
Since Lloyd Carr retired after the season, the combination of Rich Rodriguez and Brady Hoke struggled to a record, missed a bowl three times and topped eight victories only once. Harbaugh already is talking about family and commitment, and that he has the job he dreamed about as a kid — back when he was playing for the Gators, and on the playground with the Minicks. The Free Press, in fact, has reported that Jim Minick, a retired career officer in the Marines, is expected to become his director of football operations.
