STANFORD, Calif. -- Just about everybody at Stanford has a Jim Harbaugh story. He rolled through the idyllic campus during his four-year tenure, inspiring better football, rolled eyes and, yes, hurting some feelings along the way. Then he bolted to become head coach of the San Francisco 49ers.
This is not a Jim Harbaugh story, though. This story's subject is low on quirk, bluster and viral tweets. It's about success through corporate cool rather than nuclear reaction. It's about a sustainer rather than a builder, a man of diverse interests who doesn't obsess about everyone else hearing and celebrating his journey.
