There was more than Luck involved. He at least Ok’d Sherm’s move to defense. He brought in some nasty defenders. He had a pulse no matter the level which Teevens and Wlat didn’t have. God knows how many Rose Bowls Ralston and Walsh would have had if they had stayed. Like him or not Harbaugh would have gotten there too.

Agree with you on the team attitude, but Sherman (and Baldwin) flourished despite Harbaugh, not because of him.  Today, Sherman would have been a grad transfer.

But yeah, the elite defenses we had in 2010, 2012, and 2013 are largely guys Harbaugh brought in who, recruiting accolades aside, seem to have a qualitatively different attitude towards the game than the ones on the field today.
