JIM HARBAUGH

BRADFORD M. FREEMAN DIRECTOR OF FOOTBALL Michigan ‘86 Third Year

Since his appointment to the position of the Bradford M. Freeman Director of Football on December 19, 2006, Jim Harbaugh has instilled a new sense of passion, enthusiasm, energy and pride into Stanford’s football program that continues to show marked improvement under his leadership. From day one, 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. His mantra of “We bow to no program at ” was firmly indoctrinated into the minds of everyone associated with the Cardinal program. Flash forward three years to present day and the Stanford football program hardly resembles the one Harbaugh inherited following a 1-11 season just four years ago. After posting records of 4-8 and 5-7 the previous two seasons, Stanford turned the corner in 2009 to become a force in the Pac-10 Conference and on the national scene. This season, Harbaugh guided Stanford to an 8-4 overall mark as the Cardinal posted its first win- ning season and earned its first bowl appearance since the 2001 season. Among the eight victories included three wins over ranked opponents, including No. 24 Washington, No. 7 Oregon and No. 11 USC. Stanford spent four weeks ranked nationally, peaking at No. 14 in the Associated Press poll on Nov. 15. Harbaugh effectively transformed the Cardinal into one of the most exciting and productive offensive units in the nation, as Stanford finished the regular season ranked first in the Pac-10 and 10th nationally in total offense, averaging 441.1 yards per game. The Cardinal also set a single season records for total offense yardage (5,279), points scored (434) and rush- ing yardage (2,692). Stanford’s high-powered offense was at its best in wins over No. 7 Oregon (51-42) and No. 11 USC (55-21), as the Cardinal scored 50 points in back-to-back games for just the second time in the program’s history. Harbaugh’s commitment to the running game has resulted in Stanford compiling two of the program’s highest rushing totals over the last two sea- sons. Led by 2009 Doak Walker Award winner and Heisman Trophy runner-up Toby Gerhart, Stanford has averaged 215.5 yards a game on the ground over the last two campaigns. This season, the Cardinal rushed for a single-season record 2,692 yards, breaking the previous mark of 2,481 set established in 1949. Gerhart blossomed under Harbaugh’s watch. The Pac-10 Offensive Player of the Year earned con- sensus All-America honors as senior, claimed the Doak Walker Award as the nation’s top running back and finished second in the Heisman Trophy balloting in the closet vote in the award’s 75-year history. Freshman quarterback Andrew Luck emerged as one of the best young signal callers in the nation this season under Harbaugh’s tutelage. Luck engineered a Stanford offensive attack that averaged 36.2 points a game this season, which ranks second in the Pac-10 and 10th nationally. His 2,575 passing ▼ The Harbaugh File yards this season were the highest total by a Stanford freshman quarterback in the program’s history.
