It must be a gift and a curse to have a brother in the same profession, especially when both are really good at what they do and people around them expect them to fight for supremacy. The Harbaugh brothers like any siblings, as they are are competitive with each other to a point. But do they do their best to avoid it turning into a rivalry? Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh is the older of the two and has always been a coach, while Jim had success as a NFL quarterback before throwing his coaching hat on as well. It should be no surprise that in the role of a proud younger brother, Jim had no problem telling people that he’s not the better coach than John. “I’m probably half the coach he is,” he told CSN Bay Area. “But I’m trying. “I don’t think there’s any coach coaching in the game today that really has the full grasp of offense, defense, and special teams like my brother has.” It was not lost on Jim Harbaugh on what a truly amazing thing is going on with two brothers in the conference championship games, as they are poised to meet in the Super Bowl. It will be the second straight year in a row that this has happened. “Definitely, I’ve thought of that,” Jim said. “You know, we’ve both got great kids. We both have a great wife and a great job, and it’s a harder job to get than being a U.S. Senator, and proud that our family has two people that are doing it.”
