yeah, calls to Mike D'Antoni were not returned.

A very deserved +1 to you my friend. 

when telling Vernon Hargreaves who to cover.

I don't know, traveling back in time to the 1980s to pick out your suit seems like it would take more thought.

Jim McElwain travels with a trunk full of Kirby vacuum cleaners.

 

wow

I'll take what the hamster had.  Stat.

the cat ones aren't bad either

 

 

Yeah, I kind of find it weird at this point. He's pushing conventional and traditional boundaries I suppose but not doing anything outlandish or illegal. And he is who he is. I would think the media attention would have faded at this point. He hasn't acted any different than he has at any other point in his life. There's not a lot new to see here.

Nearly all of it.  They have nothing to talk about re. college football, for months.  

The biggest thing for me is that the talking heads say I'm tired of always talking about Jim Harbaugh and his antics 24/7 when they (the media) are the ones choosing to follow his every move. They spin him as desperate for attention when it's obvious he couldn't care less, even if he does embrace it. They are crating the circus, Harbaugh being himself and doing his job. I wish they would just admit it.. Jim Harbaugh is an exceptional coach and fascinating, eccentric, entertaining person and they can't get enough of him. They act as if Harbaugh is forcing them to talk about him.

Dislike Urban but it was a good answer, as was Larry Fedora's.  Malzahn and McElwain answered the question like people who are bad at answering questions.

Whenever there's a changing of the guard, people tend to hold on to the present a little tighter. One need go no further than Larry, Magic and Michael announcing "There's a new sheriff in town," before all camps started disagreeing with one another. Every honest fan knew there were three great bb players, but only one fan base, those following Michael, dared tell the truth. It happens in every sport, be it player, manager/coach, et. al. After the denial the agreement becomes consensus until the next, best thing arrives. 

The only (mildly) disrespectful responses seemed to be Petrino, McElwain, and Malzahn. Interesting, different, eccentric, and wow aren't disrespectful so much as accurate, IMO. Those are all words I'd use to describe him and I love the guy.

I didn't view any of the answers as disrespectful.

I think they just have PTHD.

What has he done to earn their respect yet. Malzhan doesn't owe him anything, McElwain is still in shock from the ass kicking (and his answer wasn't disrespectful but if he didn't glow about him at least it's based on something. He actually met him. Maybe JH rubbed him the wrong way before or after the game, I'm sure he wasn't just being a dick about the question. Petrino on the other hand is a piece of shit who has no right to weigh in on anyone and should be really careful about opening his mouth. He's a total shitbag.

He's actually twitching. Looks like Herbert Lom from the Pink Panther series.

Best comment of the thread.

On another note, I know that Harbaugh can be a bit of an odd duck, but sometimes I see the media just going NUTS and over-reacting to things that aren't really that crazy.  He tries to connect with the kids so he climbs a tree or does the dab.  He's very intense--what coach at that level isn't?  

It's not like Harbaugh is eating glue sticks, wearing a bra on his head, and claiming that he's Joan of Arc.  

 

McElwain actually looked offended by the question as if it was planted there just for him only given the beat down he took in the Citrus Bowl.
