Harbaugh . . . really??

Submitted by Chi-Blue on

Looks like Hoke was for sure the right guy for the job as Harbaugh looked like a complete tool after the game.

I completely agree!  What was Schwartz upset about...that he got beat in his own house?!?!?  Aren't they the mighty Lions who have a tradition of winning...uh no, they are not, so Schwartz overreacted.  He shook his hand, now move on.  I didn't hear Schwartz complaining about protocol when his players are prancing all over the field after trying to take someone's head off. What a clown move by Schwartz.

What happened after the game has nothing to do with the Mich coaching job. That's what JH does, he was fired up and Schwartz didn't take kindly to it. Hopefully a start to bitter Lions/49's rivalry!

LOL I knew he was going to try to draw attention to himself somehow, with him being back in the state. Go back to cali Jimmy boy, you turned your back on us twice.

PS Brady Hoke actually has some sportsmanship and doesn't try to beat up the opposing coach.

Really? You're going to criticize a coach because he was excited his team won a game on, the road, against a 5-0 team, in his first season as a coach? And what did he do that was so "toolish"? Had his sleeves rolled up? Jumped around a bit when he congratulated Schwartz at the end of the game? You're right, what a tool. He should have acted with class like Schwartz, by running after him after the situation was over and yelling "Fuck you."

that was a d-bag attempt at a handshake than a big SLAP on the back.  he was a great player and now a great coach, but he is an arrogant a-hole.  i had my own brush of d-bagness many  years ago while he was with the bears.

Are you blind MIchigan Man?? $10 says you didnt even watch the clip before you just shit out of your mouth. Seriously you are the only person to think that. He showed up JS on purpose to be a dick. JS has done the fist pump like right after we score a TD to win the game, not on the star in Dallas while shaking Jason Garretts had. JS was wrong to chase after him as well, grow a couple and go to the locker room. Nobody criticzes a coach for being excited about a win thats a dumbass thing to say. If Hoke would have done something similar to Brian Kelly after we beat ND he would also be wrong and toolish for that.

Somewhere in East Lansing there is another tool who totally agrees with your ideas on sportsmanship . . . Gholston. You need to change your name . . . NOW!

It is pretty "toolish" to be jumping up and down and swearing during your handshake with the other coach. Harbaugh might as well have just not shook his hand because he clearly didn't care about sportsmanship.

That is so pathetic.  Yes I will criticize this douche for jumping around like he is a player, then running to the other coach and slapping his hand without shaking or saying good game.  Absolute classless move.  This incident has nothing to do with him not coming to Michigan, I agree.  Still, the guy is a prick (even before this).

It was a childish move--in the NFL tradition and sportsmanship says you shake the other coaches hand and congrstulate him--not prance up, smack the other coach on the back and skip away while saying nothing. That is not to excuse Schwartz, he should have shaken his head and moved on and not followed Harbaugh. But that move by Harbaugh was supremely childish.

Guy was excited... chill out. Thats not how you treat someone that was a great Michigan man.

 

You know after watching that video... whose the tool now? Certainly not Harbaugh.

Playing at Michigan doesn't give you carte blanche to act like a jackass without Michigan fans calling you out on it.  A Michigan Man doesn't yell "YEA" and "shake" hands like a hard guy.  This has nothing to do with Schwartz and everything to do with someone who was once a candidate to coach at Michigan.

Great coach? Absolutely.

Jackass? No doubt about it.

Right, and we should all applaud Braylon for the way he's carried himself lately. If being a "Michigan man" means acting like a damn fool after you win, then the concept of it needs to die. If he was really a "Michigan man", he'd be coaching at UM right now. Brady Hoke is a Michigan man, Jim Harbaugh is a pompous asshole.

But, really, this has very little to do with Michigan and/or Hoke, so let's save ourselves the petty slapfest over the coaching search.  

Michigan is 6-1, the Niners are 5-1.  Everybody found their place.

.......I was simply saying that Jim Schwartz instigated it and has started to gain a reputation for talking smack to opposing players and coaches (see the Jared Allen and Dez Bryant incidents).

I personally like it and like how he went after Harbaugh today. It's an attitude that resonates with the team and gives them a identity. However, he shouldn't complain when someone else gives him a taste of his own medicine.

I'm not saying its OK for Schwartz to go bonkers and chase the guy down and try to start a brawl, but do you not see anything wrong with a coach greeting another with an obscenity after a game?  You're probably not one of those people that thinks things like "sportsmanship", "not acting like an ass" and "doing the right thing" are important I guess.
