Harbaugh's first major college job was at Stanford. He was hired in December 2006 after three seasons at FCS program San Diego and took over a Cardinal program that had won just 16 games in the previous five seasons combined. Stanford went 4-8 in '07, then 5-7 in '08 before improving to 8-5 in '09 and 12-1 in '10. The 12 wins were a school record and just the fourth time to that point that Stanford had won double-digit games. The other three coaches who had led the Cardinal to 10 wins were legendary: Glenn "Pop" Warner, Clark Shaughnessy and Bill Walsh.
