In parts one and two of this series, I looked at the early years of Jim Harbaugh as a coach, including his time at Stanford, the San Francisco 49ers and up until the middle years at Michigan. In this article, I will finish with the most recent runs of quarterbacks under Harbaugh’s tutelage.
Dylan McCaffrey
The most perplexing miss of the Harbaugh era, Dylan “Run DMC” McCaffrey had all the traits Harbaugh and any coach with command of their faculties look for in their quarterback. Big, fast, athletic, with elite bloodlines and the jaw structure of a cartoon prince, the 6-foot-5, 200-pound son of Ed McCaffrey and brother of Christian was the centerpiece of the monster 2017 recruiting class that finished top-five in the country.
