the questions. I give Ferentz credit for basically defending Harbaugh like...it doesn't seem to affect their performance. Exactly Kirk. Thank You. Hey Iowa reporter, go pound sand or cry in your beer. Wonder if that guy wouldn't mind Harbaugh coaching at Iowa?
Q. Your opposing coach this week, he took time out in game week yesterday to go to a campaign rally. Last week he traveled to a World Series game. Are there any circumstances imaginable that you would do something like that?
KIRK FERENTZ: You know, outside of a funeral or someone being ill, I can't think of any time in my life I've ever done anything, but that's just -- we're all different, and we all do things differently, and we're all creatures of habit probably in some ways, but basically I've just tried to focus on what it is I do, and I'll say this, it doesn't seem to affect their performance. They've looked pretty good on the film I've seen.
Q. What do you make of that guy, Harbaugh?
KIRK FERENTZ: Well, I was around Jim in Baltimore, and that was as a player and a coach. We didn't work directly with each other, but our players had great respect for him, and as a coach I think it's well-documented he's done a great job everywhere he's been, including San Diego. Stanford, right on through everywhere he's gone, he's done really well. He's doing really well right now.
