Has Harbaugh given any post game on the field interviews?

Submitted by blueak on

I don't recall seeing him talking to any reporters on the field immediately after the game. Yesterday the announcers said that Holly Rowe was with Harbaugh for comments after the game, but then they said "guess not" and cut to her interview with Speight.

I thought it was great he gave Speight the interview.  It's possible Speight will have a bunch more starts and other great moments, but this could be the biggest sports moment of his life.  I think Harbaugh recognized this and wanted to make sure he got to enjoy every bit of the moment.  

Given his play on the winning drive and the 2 point conversion that was so critical, he certainly earned it.

But then he stopped 2-3 games in...WD can you look that up?

I don't mind if he passes it off to Drevno or Durkin as he's done...I think it's cool to give your coordinators some shine.

That said Coach K gets a ton of hate for doing this and I think it's unwarranted. I'd much rather listen to a top assistant give good answers than a head coach giving you token interview lines.

Might very well just be another layer to his coaching genius. Put your backup (apparently) qb on the spot before he's ready right after the whistle sounds and let him try to handle the pressure of that interview with composure and class. Maybe he just wants the players to get the spotlight, but I gotta think that it's a part of his coaching too given that he's done this before.

Years ago, I was coaching youth baseball.  The Ann Arbor News would let the winning coach write up a short one or two sentence recap.  I realized they would include up to three player's names for the recap. So I made sure to find a way to mention three different players each time. The ones mentioned always came to next practice, extra motivated. Especially the kids who were not normally the 'stars'.
