Through Division I athletic participation, our young men and women student-athletes learn a self-discipline that has both present and long-term effects; the interplay of individual and team effort; pride and self esteem in both victory and defeat; a skillful management of time; personal endurance and courage; and the complex relationships between friendship, leadership, and service. Our athletics program, in the words of the College Mission Statement, calls for “a community marked by freedom, mutual respect, and civility.” Besides teaching these virtues, a few sports played at Holy Cross have the added value of focusing alumni and student support and enhancing our reputation locally and nationally.

WWW.GOSTANFORD.COM • 41 Jim HARBAUGH HEAD COACH Bradford M. Freeman Director of Football Stanford University im Harbaugh, who was appointed the Bradford M. Freeman Director of Football on JDecember 19, 2006, wasted little time in making a big impression in the college football circles in his first season as Stanford’s head coach. Stanford was one of the most improved teams in the Pacific-10 Conference last season under Harbaugh, whose infectious energy and enthusiasm immediately took hold of the program. The Cardinal finished with a 4-8 overall record and a 3-6 mark in conference play last season following a 2006 campaign which saw the team win just one game in 12 outings. Included in last year’s win total was an epic, 24-23 upset win over USC, ranked first in the USA Today Coaches poll and second by the Associated Press at the time, and a convincing win over defending Pac-10 Conference co-champion California, breaking the Bears five-game winning streak in the Big Game. While a pair of signature victories served notice Stanford’s program was again on the rise, Harbaugh is more than ready to push the envelope a little further this season as the Cardinal continue its journey to the upper echelon of a talent-rich conference in its quest to become perennial bowl participants.

From the day he was appointed to the position of the Bradford M. Freeman Director of Football on December 19, 2006, Harbaugh set out to change the culture and raise the expectations of a program that is in search of its first winning season and bowl berth since 2001.
