Freeman Director of Football Head Football Coach Stanford University Throughout his 30-plus years in coaching, Walt Harris has tutored some of the finest players in the game, has been a part of championship teams and some of the most respected programs in the nation and has earned a reputation as one of the great innovators and teachers in football. And on December 13, 2004, the San Francisco Bay Area-native returned home to become the Bradford M. Freeman Director of Football and Head Football Coach at Stanford University. There is no doubt that Harris has put together an impressive career both as a head and assistant coach on the college and professional levels. At each stop along the way, Harris made his mark by coaching and mentoring players and building championship teams. At 58, he has coached in 14 bowl games, including six as a head coach, while coaching 11 NFL first round draft picks and 14 NFL quarterbacks. Some of the players who have played under Harris include Larry Fitzgerald and Antonio Bryant, both wide receivers from the University of Pittsburgh who each won the Biletnikoff Award as the nation s top receiver, Heisman Trophy winner Eddie George at Ohio State, Boomer Esiason with the New York Jets, Biletnikoff Award winner Terry Glenn at Ohio State and Lombardi Award winner Orlando Pace at Ohio State. Harris has had two previous head coaching stops: at the University of the Pacific, his alma mater, from , and at the University of Pittsburgh for the past eight years ( ). His 11-year record as a head coach stands at 63-68, including an record at UOP and a mark at Pitt. Over his last four seasons at Pitt, however, the Panthers won 31 of Harris final 44 games as head coach. The Panthers reached bowl games in six of his eight seasons at Pittsburgh, including each of the last five, to give the school its best bowl run since reaching nine in a row from Each of his past five bowl teams have won at least seven games and combined to post an impressive (.629) record, marking the program s winningest five-season stretch since Harris led an impressive turnaround of the Pittsburgh football program during his tenure in the Steel City, culminating with the school s first Bowl Championship Series berth and a share of the Big East title in 2004 after posting an 8-3 regular season record. Harris, who was named the Big East Conference Coach of the Year for the second time, led his team to six wins in its last seven regular games to set up a Fiesta Bowl showdown against unbeaten Utah.
