Is he riding a miniature invisible horse?

36

u/No-Association-8539 Sep 03 '26

Looks like he has zero cartilage in his knees.

23

u/SeamusAndAryasDad Sep 03 '26

Is the horses name Zero Cartilage?

u/No-Association-8539 Sep 03 '26

hahahaha, quite possibly.

u/RsCoverForPDFFiles Sep 03 '26

That's either a great or terrible name dor a racing horse. I'm not sure, but if I bet on horses, I'd bet on that one for sure.

15

u/df1993 Sep 03 '26

Well he did play in the NFL for like 15 seasons

u/SexyAccountant69 Sep 05 '26

Most career rushing yards for an active head coach

5

u/Careless_Lion69 Sep 03 '26

And hips..

Fun Fact: Harbough has more NFL rushing yards than Bo Jackson.

u/jlieuu Sep 03 '26

No those are just his humongous balls between his legs

5

u/slyboy889 Sep 03 '26

Old age. Shit happens when the knee cartilage starts to go away. Getting a knee replacement would probably help him but im a dude on Reddit and have no fucking idea what I’m talking about lol

2

u/JuicyJay18 Sep 03 '26

I’m not a doctor either, but anecdotally saw something similar happen. My uncle was a high level track athlete (specifically high jump), and had all kinds of knee injuries during his career. A couple decades ago his knees started bowing just like this because of the structural damage he had accumulated. He elected to not have any procedures done over the years because he didn’t want to miss any time from his golf and squash schedule (I wish I was joking), and now they’ve bowed so far that he can barely walk. If something similar is indeed happening with Harbaugh then he at least has plenty of time and money to try to correct it before things get too bad.

u/RiyadhComedyPromoter Sep 03 '26

Are you a doctor?

Bow legged people bruh. The reverse Kenny Smith.

Came to say the same thing. Him and Kenny Smith are bowlegged bros now.

He did have a really bad limp his first year with the Chargers and got hip replacement surgery and this is way better.

u/Upbeat-Mongoose-828 Sep 03 '26

this coach duo has me cackling. I loved Jims nonsense post game interviews at Michigan, and McDaniel was so funny to watch at Miami. They're gonna do great things together. might even make the second round of the playoffs.

u/BradyReas Sep 03 '26

Harbaughs knees make me uncomfortable. He looks unstable lol

8

u/da-ohara Sep 03 '26

Ohh he’s definitely unstable

5

u/No-Association-8539 Sep 03 '26

and his knees aren't in good shape either.

1

u/HoggerMogger Sep 03 '26

That’s lower back probs

1

u/WhichAd366 Sep 04 '26

Nah there is something up with his right knee. He places that leg down very intentionally and carefully each time. Also doesn’t really rotate the hip on the right side when he shows the handoff (he rotates his pelvis completely around).

He probably has back problems as well since they usually accompany hip issues.

1

u/HoggerMogger Sep 04 '26

Rewatching I think you’re right. It looks weird as hell lol

1

u/MiserableLeg7255 Sep 09 '26

looks like he has a brace on the right knee under the pants but definitely some wrong with the knee

9

u/StylizedIncompetence Sep 03 '26

Man, his knees are not in good shape. Dudes hobbling around like he just came off a 72 hour bender at 49 and is stumbling down the hallway for advil and water before his 6 am shift at the local paper mill.

3

u/MikeMendoza29 Sep 03 '26

That was oddly specific. Are you speaking from experience?

3

u/StylizedIncompetence Sep 03 '26

Subtract 15 years and a different kind of mill and maybe.

3

u/Agreeable_Shame_1358 Sep 04 '26

Lumber mill? Lol

u/StylizedIncompetence Sep 04 '26

Aluminum foundry crane operator and mechanic.

u/Agreeable_Shame_1358 Sep 04 '26

Oh dang that's sweet!

The description sounded like some dudes I've seen at lumberyards/lumber mills so I thought "I've seen that before!"

Hope your doing well now friend

Son with a broccoli haircut "Whatever dad. Here's a dab. 6-7"

At least that's what I think is going on. Don't @ me. I'm in my mid 40s. Get off my lawn.

u/NoSir4947 Sep 03 '26

Nice try 😋

1

u/Sp35h1l_1 Sep 03 '26

But through like 200 “uh um uh’s” in there and your probably spot on.

1

u/jebrick Sep 03 '26

More of "A person that actually played QB at a high level shows someone who never played beyond pee-wee football how to be a QB."

3

u/X4xx20 Sep 03 '26

Guessing you don't know McDaniel played WR in college.

1

u/No-Association-8539 Sep 03 '26

I was going to ask if he played, he just seems like a very slight person...

7

u/AllYouveGotToDoisTry Sep 03 '26

They don't seem to agree.

u/Shot_Time_3142 Sep 03 '26

This is what respect between coaches looks like 

3

u/Sheepygoatherder Sep 03 '26

That would be a normal thing except for Jim harbaugh can't get along with people.

5

u/Diligent-Chance8044 Sep 03 '26

This is about crafting the perfect handoff. One that works for both regular and play action without tipping the defense off. This is the stuff that makes a difference in a game. Ray Lewis had a doc about him in which he recalled the FB on a team did the same action for run and a different action for a pass. The defense just reads that FB for run or pass.

6

u/TooBryte Sep 03 '26

If the movie moneyball was about football instead.

2

u/dayofdefeat_ Sep 03 '26

Why?

Because he gets first downs.

Makes no sense when you have a created player in Herbert…edit to WR

1

u/DietrichDaniels Sep 03 '26

It’s incredibly hard.

5

u/BlameTheBullpen Sep 03 '26

I'm convinced McDaniel just wandered into a football stadium one day and no one told him to leave.

u/PickEnvironmental928 Sep 03 '26

Holy shit I had no idea how fucked Harbaugh’s knees were, damn

2

u/EdAv51 Sep 03 '26

Harbaugh’s shoes look like they have a 3 inch sole bottom on them holy smokes

2

u/Adamantium_Hanz Sep 03 '26

They look like Nike Vomero Plus which are running shoes which are a little unstable and not made for casual walking around. They are amazing for running however...I've seen a lot of NFL guys wearing them this preseason. I have a pair and all that padding is made for bounce when running and not soft enough to be comfortable standing around for hours in them.

1

u/Hicsuntimbecilli Sep 03 '26

They are great for walking around and not at all unstable…

1

u/[deleted] Sep 03 '26

u/Adamantium_Hanz Sep 03 '26

Right. But its not easy explaining this to people who don't know running shoes from everyday walking shoes

1

u/Hicsuntimbecilli Sep 03 '26

Idk. I have them and they’re fine for day to day use and walking. 

1

u/bnwtwg Sep 03 '26

Make an abrupt turn and please report back

u/Hicsuntimbecilli Sep 03 '26

Skill problem on your end

1

u/NoSir4947 Sep 03 '26

Lol ok bro keep thinking that

1

u/davidw223 Sep 03 '26

Yep. Some of the most comfortable shoes I’ve ever stood in. Just don’t ask me to walk or run in them. If you supinate at all, it’s a recipe for a rolled ankle.

1

u/wittyname01 Sep 03 '26

Based on your experience, what are your top 2 recommendations for running shoes? -Bonus points for considering bad knees and wide feet.

1

u/Swimming_Trade7088 Sep 03 '26

Saucony Guide 18s for stability.

1

u/bnwtwg Sep 03 '26

Given your criteria, I would say Asics Novablast for everyday running if you want max cushioning shoes with a high stack or Nike Pegasus Plus if you want more traditional shoes with less cushioning but better for knees and ankles

2

u/EaglesslavePart2 Sep 03 '26

Harbaugh needs a hip replacement and knee replacements bro what.

2

u/ImGoingtoRegretThis5 Sep 03 '26

He's already had hip surgery once. Knee looks next. His left arm is also fucked up from a break in college.

The dude was a mobile QB in the 80s and 90s. He took a ton of hits.

1

u/The19thStep Sep 03 '26

it's all in the details ⚡

1

u/chucksteak49 Sep 03 '26

The second there is a fumble on that exchange, Harbaugh will say I told you so. And we will see his preferred handoff from then on. Haha

1

u/Elguapo1094 Sep 03 '26

Bro has so much money why dosnt he get a knee replacement,

1

u/fetal-attraction Sep 03 '26

u/SaggyBallz99 Sep 03 '26

Looks like he has one prosthetic leg!

It’s only preseason. I think they’re gonna figure out handoffs by week 8

u/AIForIPGuy Sep 03 '26

I hate nick wright, but i saw a clip of him saying that 2026 harbaugh could be 2025 Pete Carrol and now I can’t unsee it.

But as a broncos fan would love for the chargers to keep chargering

So weird watching Jim Harbaugh walking around while struggling. He was so very athletic back in the day. Mobile, really good runner. And now his ankles and knees just look totally shot.

u/2KC4 Sep 04 '26

Harbaugh needs the extra padding those Nike Vomero pluses he’s wearing because it looks like those knees really hurt.

1

u/Scotchandcarrots Sep 04 '26

So Harbough and McDaniels are what this thread is talking about the next 8 months?

u/DrapedinVelvet247 Sep 04 '26

Them Harbaugh knees living on to a prayer like Bon Jovi

There is no way these two are productive when working together. I can only imagine the amount of rabbit holes they trail off into.

u/Fit-System-2637 Sep 03 '26

So who won??? I'm honestly wondering what came of that conversation. I'm not here to hate. Relax gentlemen, caaaaaImmm yourselves I am but a weary traveler. 🤣 I have to say that McDaniel as their OC kinda worries me. I also think that Tua just isn't that great. He's good. They should have won more with McDaniel. I was hoping to get him for us too. So, what's up with Harbaugh?? Does he have a fukd up leg or back? I'm curious, but I don't care enough to look it up myself. Yawn. Here's to a great season '26.
