HEAD COACH Bradford M. Freeman Director of Football

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 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. “Winning the USC and Cal games added credibility to the program with alumni, supporters, fans, university staff, friends of Stanford and maybe most importantly the students,” Harbaugh said. “We must challenge ourselves in the areas that need to be addressed to move for- ward—player development, recruiting, research, evaluation, team morale, promotion of the program and the off-season and spring practices.” Harbaugh came to Stanford from the University of San Diego, where he guided the Toreros to an impressive three-year overall record of 29-6 (.829), including back-to-back 11-1 seasons that netted a pair of Division I-AA Mid Major national titles in 2005 and ’06. Success is no stranger to Harbaugh. A product of nearby Palo Alto High School, he was one of the most highly-sought after recruits in the nation. He enjoyed a storied career at the , where he led the Wolverines to three bowl appearances and garnered Big Ten Player of the Year and first team All-America honors. As a professional, Harbaugh finished his career ranked among the NFL’s top-50 in several passing categories and was named the AFC’s Offensive Player of the Year in 1995. During his brief coaching career in the NFL, he helped the Oakland Raiders reach the 2003 as the team’s coach. As a collegiate player, Harbaugh led the Maize and Blue to a 21-3-1 record and three bowl appearances as a full-time starter from 1984-86. As a senior, he quarterbacked the Wolverines to a Rose Bowl appearance and earned first team All-America and Big Ten Player of the Year honors while finishing third in the Heisman Trophy balloting. As a junior, he led the Wolverines to a victory and a No. 2 ranking in the national polls. He finished his collegiate career completing 387-of-620 passes for 5,449 yards and 31 . Harbaugh became the first Wolverine to throw for 300 yards in a single game, accomplishing the feat against Indiana on October 25, 1986.
