Harbaugh married his wife, Jacqueline M. "Jackie" (Cipiti), in 1961. Their two sons are the first pair of brothers to serve as head coaches in NFL history: Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh and San Francisco 49ers head coach Jim Harbaugh (himself a former NFL quarterback). Both brothers eventually participated in the Harbaugh Bowl on Thanksgiving Day, 2011, which was a day before Jack and Jackie's 50th wedding anniversary. They will also participate in another Harbaugh Bowl when they coach the two teams in Super Bowl XLVII. Their daughter Joani's husband Tom Crean is the head basketball coach for the Indiana University Hoosiers.

Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:
“Nothing strengthens the judgment and quickens the conscience like individual responsibility. Nothing adds such dignity to character as the recognition of one’s self-sovereignty; the right to an equal place, everywhere conceded—a place earned by personal merit, not an artificial attainment by inheritance, wealth, family and position.”
—Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)
“The life of man is the true romance, which when it is valiantly conducted will yield the imagination a higher joy than any fiction.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
