John Harbaugh: One Tough Mudder

[RavenScallywag]

I did last year's Tough Mudder Mid-Atlantic at Frederick, MD (Side story, was a HUGE debacle...ended up getting cancelled due to rain early on Saturday and both the parking and track were such a mess they cancelled Sunday too, leading to scheduling this weekend's one in Spring). I don't plan to do anymore, but it was a great training experience and a hell of a lot of fun, through a hell of a lot of pain.

Saw this on BR.com. John, Juan, Kevin Byrne, spouses, and a few other people did this as a team. Reason #182351 I love our coach. Look at his face on these pics, he was having a BLAST. There are a good amount of HC in the NFL I can't see doing this kind of thing.

bwahaha.

Pagano, if not for battling leukemia, is one I could definitely see.

I remember a couple months before I did it, I saw that David Tyree was doing it for charity (He was asking for people to sponsor him with his own cause, the event itself is supposed to raise awareness and some funds for Wounded Warrior Project).

In all seriousness, I'm not sure how anyone can not like having this guy as the HC, its obvious that Steve made a great choice, although I think we would have been fine with Rex too (just my opinion on that huge debate). He's just a great person, and probably the most underrated coaches in the league, even after winning the SB.

looks like he's sporting a goatee - Harbs getting an attitude ;)

Thanks for posting this. Harbs is a good guy.

Easily one of the most successful coaches over the last 5 years. Maybe even the most successful.

You know, for all that saw swore Harbs was gonna be too much like Reid and make the Ravens "Eagles South", there was one obvious difference between the two from the get-go and that was the fact that Harbs is a fitness nut, even to the extent he uses the gym at the team hotel on the road when many people would probably just skip a day.

He buys into the "Mighty Men" gym warrior mentality, that's for sure. I remember, before TC got privatized to OM, people who got out to McDaniel early would see Harbaugh going out for a morning run each day before camp. Think he took coaches out with him too.

That is awesome

Very true. When I see a guy like Harbs, I see a man who has discipline for himself, and that kind of attitude trickles down to the people around him.

Awesome! Reminds me of my training days.

Harbs is a great human being. My man crush on him continues to grows.
