So Fisher, his team's offseason minicamps now completed and training camp a month away, is preparing for a week-long trip to the Persian Gulf. He'll join Giants Coach Tom Coughlin, former Steelers Coach Bill Cowher, Ravens Coach John Harbaugh and former Raiders and Buccaneers Coach Jon Gruden on the morale-building visit overseas.

"I've been told many times their gratitude and appreciation for us making the effort is overwhelming and to me that is backward. We are going over there to show our gratitude and appreciation,'' Fisher said.

...

He has, however, been told to pack for warm weather — the average temperature should be between "115 and 130 degrees" each day, he said.

I think it is terrific that Fisher will get to visit our troops in the Middle East. Just stay safe! :peepwall

Does John Harbaugh knows or was told that he has to arrive on time to the airport and he is not allowed to delay the departure?

...since he has to be familiar with delays :mad:

It is an interesting group of coaches that were assembled for this trip, especially from Fisher's perspective. You have three coaches that have won Super Bowls in recent years, and then you have the Raven's coach who just beat us in the playoffs. I hope Fisher's ego is solid. :lol
