Hey everyone, it’s your boy back at it again, sharing some of the stuff I’ve been digging into. So, I got sucked into this whole thing about the Harbaugh brothers, Jim and John. You know, the football coaches? Well, I started poking around because I kept seeing people online asking if they were twins. It’s a fair question, they do look a lot alike and they’re both big names in football.
First thing I did was hit up Google – naturally. Typed in “Are John Harbaugh and Jim Harbaugh twins?” and boom, the answer was right there. No, they’re not twins. But, they are brothers, and pretty close in age. Turns out, John’s the older one, but only by about 15 months. I was a bit surprised, I always thought they were closer in age.
Then I started reading more about them. They were born in Toledo, Ohio. Their dad, Jack Harbaugh, was also a football guy. He was an assistant coach at a local high school back then. I guess football just runs in their blood, huh?
Dug a little deeper and found some folks saying Jim was born in December 1963, and John was born in September of 1962. So, yeah, definitely not twins, but pretty close. I even saw one article mention that John is 62 and Jim is 60, which does the math right there.
Then I wanted to see if there was anything about their personal lives. Found out John’s a Roman Catholic and is married to a woman named Ingrid. They have a daughter together. Nothing about Jim’s personal life in detail, but that’s not what I was after, so it’s okay.
Conclusion Time
So, there you have it. After all my internet sleuthing, I can confirm:
- Jim and John Harbaugh are brothers, not twins.
- John is older by about 15 months.
- They both come from a football family.
It’s funny how these little questions can lead you down a rabbit hole of information. I just wanted a simple answer, and ended up learning a whole bunch about the Harbaugh family. Hope you guys found this little info-dump interesting. Until next time, peace out!
