Revealing Harbaugh’s hands-on approach, Hutchinson disclosed, “He’s very interactive with the quarterbacks and he has this thing where he slaps the [expletive] out of them before they play and likes pounding their chests.” This unique form of motivation adds a personal touch to Harbaugh’s coaching methods.
In addition, Hutchinson shared a lighter side of Harbaugh’s routine and recounted the coach’s unusual gym attire. Before practices, Harbaugh would hit the weight room wearing khakis, cleats, and no shirt, lifting weights while clad in unconventional gear. Hutchinson found it amusing to witness Harbaugh squatting with 135 pounds for reps in such attire before heading straight to practice.
