Harbaugh brings fresh air to stale Stanford program

"I'll have to give him a call ..." Harbaugh says of LaRussa. "In a lot of ways it made me a much better decision maker. I'm more compassionate to people, even to players. I was a little of a hyper-perfectionist."

Poignant stuff from a guy who met his current fiancé in the takeout line at P.F. Chang's. Harbaugh was in Las Vegas for an all-star game, got tired of the hotel food and walked down the street to the Chinese chain on Jan. 9, 2006.

For some reason he blurted out to Sarah Feuerborn, "Excuse me, ma'am, could I meet you?"

Yes, it was a line, and it was cheesy, but it worked. Feuerborn didn't know who Harbaugh was until the second date.

Now he takes Sarah's call too. This one is about getting work done on the new house.

Harbaugh will be home soon. Look for the bicycle and bright blue jacket coming down the street.

At night, he is the doting husband-to-be. By day, Captain Comeback is trying to repair a program too.
