"This guy here is dead"Owen Marecic? The worst player in NFL history? Hardly a ringing endorsement for Harbaugh.
Also notice how many teams some of these "NFL players" have been part of. Lots of practice squad nobodies who've never seen a live snap.
If I were a Wolverines fan I wouldn't look too far into the accounting behind this claim.
e.g. don't check on Brian Bulcke
Edit: 9 of the 58 had their first NFL association with the 'Niners. Hmm...

Two of the players Harbaugh coached at Stanford were receivers -- Doug Baldwin from Gulf Breeze High in Florida, and Richard Sherman from Dominguez High in Compton, Ca. Sherman moved to cornerback after his first two seasons for the Cardinal, and neither player made a huge impact under Harbaugh -- at least, not enough to be drafted highly by any NFL team. Sherman was taken by the Seahawks in the fifth round of the 2011 draft, and Baldwin signed with Seattle as an undrafted free agent that same year.
Thus, Baldwin and Sherman have interesting recon abilities as the only two guys to have played for both Harbaugh and Carroll. Safe to say, Harbaugh's personal style rubbed both players the wrong way -- both Sherman and Baldwin felt like odd fits, and Baldwin actually thought about quitting the game altogether in his junior year before his mom told him to stick it out.
“I’ll start with Coach Harbaugh," Baldwin said this week, when asked how different his college and pro coaches are. "Coach Harbaugh was a very... I’d say he’s more of a disciplinarian type of coach. He likes to be in control of things, and likes to be hands-on with everything. He likes to make sure that everything is running smoothly and he has his say on stuff, and Pete is the same way. I just think they have different approaches. Like I said, Harbaugh is more of a military type. Everything has to be precise and has to be exactly the way he wanted in order for it to go as well as he wants it to go, and Pete kind of gives us leeway to do things that we want to. It might rub the outside people the wrong way sometimes, but I think for us, it gives us a better sense of just having fun when we’re at practice or in meetings and stuff.”
You'll find just as many players who espouse and appreciate Harbaugh's approach in San Francisco, but there are two guys in Seattle who have been through the Harbaugh car wash ... and they didn't really find success until they graduated from it.
This is fucking interesting, man. This is fucking interesting.
