No wonder Jim Harbaugh is perceived by many as a total jerk. The idiot is paranoid and possessed by success at any cost even running up the score and trampling a luckless opponent. Below is a short article concerning the status of Ryan Whalen and Harbaugh’s take on secrecy and scoring points. Both responses are a little over board.
This is the same coach that refused to shake Jimmy Clausen’s hand two years ago in South Bend.
Fortunately, in life, what goes around comes around. Opposing coaches have very long memories when their Teams are unnecessarily abused.
Stanford football notebook: Receiver Ryan Whalen likely out for Notre Dame

Ryan Whalen, Stanford's leading receiver the past two seasons, has a dislocated left elbow and probably won't play Saturday against Notre Dame.
Wearing a shoulder sling Tuesday night at practice Whalen confirmed the injury but said he hopes to return soon.
Coach Jim Harbaugh had declined to reveal any information about the injury that occurred in the first quarter of No. 16 Stanford's commanding 68-24 victory over Wake Forest last weekend. Whalen, a senior from Alamo, fell awkwardly on his left elbow after a catch.
"As soon as I tell you you're going to tell Notre Dame," Harbaugh said at his weekly news conference.
Why does it matter?
"I'd want to know about the status of every player on their team, what percent they are, how many plays they are going to play. That's valuable information," Harbaugh said.
Whalen has 10 catches for 113 yards and one touchdown this season.
"Wales is the leader on offense for us," quarterback Andrew Luck said. "He's been there and done it all at Stanford. It will be a serious blow if he's out for a while. But we've got guys who step in and fill that role."
One of those shoring up the receiving corps is Chris Owusu, who made a successful 2010 debut against Wake Forest after missing the first two games with a knee injury. He caught three passes for 65 yards and two touchdowns.
Inside linebacker Shayne Skov also returned from an injury to play for the first time last weekend. Skov reportedly suffered from an infected knee but declined to provide details about the injury.
"It took me a couple weeks just as a precaution to make sure I was ready to go," he said, adding he'll be fine the rest of the season.
Harbaugh had no regrets about challenging an official's call with 5:25 left and the Cardinal leading 68-24.
"I thought he caused a fumble and we recovered it," Harbaugh said of the play in which a Wake Forest runner was ruled down before losing a fumble. "Guys are in there and it's very important game time for them. We thought there was a fumble; it's as simple as that."
