Crean focus of NFL Films documentary to air this fall

Indiana University basketball coach Tom Crean—and his connection to the Harbaugh family—will be the focus of a documentary
produced by NFL Films.

An NFL Films crew visited Bloomington recently to film Crean with some IU players for the documentary to be released as part
of the weekly NFL Films Presents
series. The Crean-Harbaugh feature will air in September or October on ESPN2. At the NFL owners’ meetings in March in Dana
Point, Calif., NFL Films President Steve Sabol shot a roundtable conversation with Crean, Crean’s father-in-law
Jack Harbaugh, and brothers-in-law John and Jim Harbaugh.

Jack Harbaugh is a retired college football coach, while Jim, a former Indianapolis Colts quarterback, is head coach at Stanford
University. John is head coach of the NFL’s Baltimore Ravens.

"We thought it’d be interesting to talk to these guys about what it takes to be a successful coach, what drives them," said
NFL Films Producer Chris Barlow. "If you like sports and are interested in what drives people at the highest level of their
game, this is a show you’re going to want to see."

Barlow said Crean is just the second basketball coach to be the focus of an NFL Films production.

"We did a show 10 years ago with [former San Francisco 49ers and Detroit Lions coach] Steve Mariucci and [Michigan State basketball
coach] Tom Izzo," Barlow said. "That’s the only other time something like this has been done."
