Bowlsby did have a committee when he hired Harbaugh.  I have a friend, a former Stanford football player, who was on the committee who interviewed both Chow and JH.   And, according to my friend, there was no question who was going to get hired after those interviews.   I don\'t mean to suggest that the committee made the decision....simply that my friend knew after those interviews who he wanted to see hired and it wasn\'t Chow.  That was a very different time for Stanford football (and Bob Bowlsby) and I have no idea if Bowlsby would use the same approach now.
