When No. 8 Wisconsin plays at No. 4 Michigan on Saturday, there will be two seemingly polar opposites coaching on the sidelines.The Wolverines Jim Harbaugh is about as close as it gets to a rock star in college football. Hardly a day has gone by since his return to Ann Arbor that Harbaugh hasnt made headlines, with his globe-hopping satellite camps, rap video cameos, famous friends and, of course, his Twitter-melting social media jabs.Then theres the Badgers Paul Chryst, whos more like a soundboard engineer than a rock star. Chryst can seem almost allergic to individual attention or a jarring quote. Just try to find a viral online moment involving him. He doesnt even have a Twitter account.Outside observers would think the two coaches have almost nothing in common.Understandably so, Chryst said before chuckling.In fact, Harbaugh and Chryst are not only good friends, but their entire families share close bonds. They might project themselves to the world in different ways, yet their core experiences and beliefs are strikingly similar. Its like a yin and yang situation, if one of those symbols were khaki-colored.Theyre actually wired exactly the same, said Geep Chryst, Pauls older brother. But if ones a neon sign, the other one wants to be the last light you turn off at night and the first light you turn on in the morning. Theres probably a point in the day where you need both types of lighting.The connections between Chryst and Harbaugh go back for decades. Jims father, Jack, played on the same Bowling Green team in the late 1950s with Dave McClain, who went on to become Pauls coach during his playing days at Wisconsin.Jack Harbaugh and Pauls dad, George, both were college coaches, too, and they crossed paths frequently. When Jim got drafted by the Chicago Bears in 1987, he spent his first training camp with the team at the University of Wisconsin-Platteville, where George Chryst was the football coach.One of most highly respected, great people this game or this world has ever known, Harbaugh said of George Chryst, who died in 1992.Platteville is also where Jim got to know Geep, who was helping the Bears out as a sort of glorified gofer. Mike Ditka hired Geep a couple of years later as a quality control coach for the Bears. Geep Chryst became a confidant for Harbaugh in Chicago, and they were reunited with the San Diego Chargers in 1999.Geep was the offensive coordinator there, while Paul was the tight ends coach. The Chargers had just drafted Ryan Leaf No. 2 overall, and they wanted a mentor for the young quarterback. So they traded for Harbaugh, who started 12 games that season.?Harbaugh impressed everybody there with his competitiveness and toughness. Geep remembers him trying to get back into the last regular-season game despite a dislocated hip. San Diego had already been eliminated from the playoffs at that point.We thought we were bringing in a wily veteran backup, Geep said, but instead we brought in a wily veteran starter. Paul saw how Jim was wired, and it brought out the little kid in all of us.Many of the interactions between Paul and Jim that year centered on Junior Seau, the Chargers Hall of Fame linebacker who moonlighted on occasion at tight end. Jim and Paul would confer on what the best plays were to get Seau the ball. They had plenty of other things to talk about, as both were Big Ten quarterbacks in the 1980s and members of football families -- Chrysts other brother, Rick, was the commissioner of the MAC, and of course Jims brother, John Harbaugh, is the Super Bowl-winning coach of the Baltimore Ravens.Being coaches kids gave us a little more in common than the quarterback careers we had in the Big Ten, certainly, joked Chryst, who was a career backup with the Badgers.Our dads were friends, the sons were friends, and its been a 30-year friendship, Harbaugh said. If somebody cant get along with Paul Chryst, theres probably something wrong with them. Thats how Ive always looked at it.Harbaugh later hired Geep Chryst as his quarterbacks coach with the San Francisco 49ers. Paul remembers calling Harbaugh before a game from a Big Ten stadium when he was Wisconsins offensive coordinator and asking for Harbaughs memories of the place -- he cant remember for sure if it was from Wisconsins 2010 win at the Big House, but Paul lingered in the press box a little longer after that victory.?Harbaugh also gave Chryst some advice on what to do when he got his first head coaching job. What did those words of wisdom include?Nothing that makes for good print, Chryst said, declining to share specifics.After Chryst got his first head coaching job with Pitt in 2012, he came out to San Francisco for a Rams-49ers game during his bye week. Harbaugh secured him a sideline pass, and Geep gave him a 49ers sweatshirt to wear. Harbaugh wasnt too pleased when, after the game ended in a rare 24-24 tie, Rams running back Stephen Jackson ran up and hugged Chryst on the field. Chryst had coached Jackson at Oregon State.Jackson just killed us that day, Geep recalled. Jim looked at Paul like, Of all the games ... That was the legendary competitiveness of Harbaugh coming through, one thats not hard to spot on the sidelines or anywhere else. Chryst is outwardly low-key and soft spoken. You would be hard-pressed to tell the difference in his demeanor between a spring practice and after this seasons victories over top-10 teams LSU and Michigan State.Geep says hes sure Jim will have thought about his Wisconsin pregame speech for weeks, if not longer, hoping for the perfectly profound message to inspire his team. Paul picks his spots to even raise his voice in front of his players. Both will have the same burning desire to win Saturday.For Jim, I think thats real for him, Paul Chryst said. Its why I loved being around him -- hes passionate and he wasnt going to hide it.I definitely have a competitiveness in me. It fuels you. Yet I think it comes across differently.Chryst could never imagine getting in Twitter feuds with other coaches or wearing different sports jerseys in each city on a camp tour like his friend. But of Harbaughs antics, he says, Hes authentic. Thats a description often used for Chryst, too.Theyre consistent with who they are, and their teams respond to that, Geep said. Thats genuinely who Jim is and genuinely who Paul is. Theyre perfect where theyre at and comfortable in their own skin.Its no coincidence that both of their teams play the same way: tough, physical styles featuring fullbacks and tight ends on offense. No spread stuff here. Just old-school football. Chryst says you can probably trace that back directly to our dads.Geep plans to sit in the Big House stands next to Earl Hansen, who was the high school football coach for both Harbaugh and Geeps son, current Stanford backup quarterback Keller Chryst. Theyll enjoy watching two old friends project wildly different demeanors on the sidelines while aiming for the same goal.Its fun because everybody can see the opposite ends of the spectrum theyre at, but deep down theyre really going to play a similar style of ball, Geep Chryst said. To have them square off against each other in a big game, no one appreciates it more than those two. Fred Lynn Jersey . -- Matt Kuchar and Harris English ran away with the Franklin Templeton Shootout, shooting a 14-under 58 on Sunday in the final-round scramble to break the tournament course record. Brian Goodwin Angels Jersey . -- Josh Sterk scored once and set up two more as the Oshawa Generals edged the visiting Belleville Bulls 3-2 on Friday in Ontario Hockey League action. http://www.baseballangelslockroom.com/kole-calhoun-angels-jersey/ . -- On the field, it was business as usual for Jameis Winston and No. Rod Carew Jersey . Mitch Holmberg added a goal and three assists. Connor Chartier also scored for the Chiefs (3-0-0). Luke Harrison spoiled Garrett Hughsons shutout bid with a power-play goal at 13:17 of the third period. The Spokane goaltender finished with 28 saves, including a Brandon Fushimi penalty shot in the second period that would have tied the game 1-1. Jonathan Lucroy Angels Jersey . Detroit and Boston are deadlocked, 1-1, and Tigers manager Jim Leyland could be forgiven if he was caught rationalizing instead of dissecting how his club could blow a 5-1 lead late in Game 2. Graham Arnold and Alex Brosque had more than a few discussions during the A-Leagues off-season.Sydney FCs coach and captain scrutinised a sub-standard domestic campaign, painfully analysing what went so wrong less than a year after the clubs 52-goal run to the 2014-15 grand final.The long-term loss of Brosque to injury was a major factor in a campaign largely devoid of goals from other sources.Some key players struggled to perform, while balancing a successful Asian Champions League campaign ran the rest ragged.There was no erasing the 11-game winless streak that ultimately cost them a place in the finals.The only real answer was to move forward, and acknowledge that perhaps a lousy season was what Sydney needed most.Thats one of the things me and Arnie spoke about in the off-season, Brosque told AAP.The first season he came in, everything went well - we broke a lot of club records and made the grand final.But it probably masked over a few issues that were there when he took over already.As bad as it was, it was probably one we needed to have in order to get things going in the right direction again.The harsh truth for Arnold was he wasnt used to losing.Hed claimed a premiership and championship within three years at Central Coast and then breezed to the 2014-15 season decider in his first year at Sydneys glamour club.Now, the 53-year-old is well-versed.When you go into coaching, youre not handed a handbook - you cant do a university course for it. You learn along the way, through experieences, Arnold told AAP.ddddddddddddThat was the first time Id been through that, ever.In the A-League, out of five years, Id had four top-two finishes and three grand finals. This was the first time Id missed the top six.Im always hard on myself. I went away, analysed my own performance and it wasnt good enough.Its made me not only a better coach, but a better person.Its taken some negative things from last year to make it better.Quality recruitment is the standout element of the new Sky Blues, increasingly viewed as genuine title contenders.Last seasons squad of 27 has been reduced to 23, with Brazilian marquee striker Bobo and returned winger Bernie Ibini leading a revived attack, backed up by the proven talent of Danny Vukovic, Michael Zullo, Alex Wilkinson and Josh Brillante.That fit-again Brosque and last seasons player of the year Matt Jurman started on the bench against Blacktown City last month hints at the depth.Arnold is in the last year of his contract and has knocked back a number of off-season offers to coach overseas.Theres unfinished business.Theres regularly offers and phone calls from agents trying to entice you, but now isnt the right time. he said.I love Sydney FC. Im a Sydney boy and all I want is the fans to be happy and the club to win things and go forward.Im on the last year of my contract but I dont care - my future is open for myself. ' ' '
