ENCINITAS, Calif. (AP) -- University of San Diego football coach Jim Harbaugh was arrested early Sunday on a charge of drunken driving after being stopped for running a stop sign.

Harbaugh, a former NFL quarterback, was released after 7 1/2 hours at the Vista Detention Facility. He is to appear in court in December.

``I'm upset at myself about it, and more embarrassed for everyone else around me, the team,'' Harbaugh said Wednesday. ``My No. 1 concern is the players. I'm trying to set a good example for them. There's a consequence for making poor decisions and now that applies to me.''

I guess he's out of the running for the Liberty job. :)

Wow that is not good. I think this will be a big setback for him but not a career killer. I hope he has an understanding AD.

Hey, not to make too much light out of a serious situation, but do you think he was driven to drink after he read the threads on here completely discounting any possibility of San Diego making the playoffs? I feel so responsible. :spank:
