Thoroughly discredited Pseudopsychologist on LinkedIn thinks Jim Harbaugh is a Violent Psychotic (Seriously)
I actually owe this to Tony Gerdeman at The OZone, who is a Buckeye but a pretty good guy. He shared this on Twitter. He thinks it's ridiculous and creepy as well.
A "Dr. G. Jack Brown", graduate of Ohio University and current Las Vegas resident, retains a pretty active LinkedIn profile, regularly posting short blog type items on "Body Language Communications". According to him, Harbaugh is likely to "...lose his temper in a highly significant manner" sometime soon.

He goes on to say that Michigan clearly did not vet him well - anyone should know that people with wide open eyes are evidently dangerous, violent psychotics.... apparently.
As an Opthamologist from the highly esteemed OHIO University, he would know all about this.
And this isn't the only time - he has five or six posts about Jim Harbaugh on there! I'm seriously doubting Harbaugh has any issues - but I'm kinda worried about this guy and his OCD. Does anyone know him? Does he have his apartment wallpapered in Harbaugh photos?

ED-S: Ran this by the psychologist wife. Needless to say, you can't diagnose personality disorders from a distance, and the guy doing so appears to be a grade a quack. looking for clicks or to do personal harm against a football coach he doesn't like. She especially noted you can't get diagnoses off of sports for the same reason you don't judge a personality disorder by what a person does in battle.
Yeah, I wouldn't be shocked if Harbaugh had some mild form of Asperger's Syndrome. It just so happens his area of hyper-focus and obsession is football--something the outside world finds really entertaining and therefore lucrative.
But my theory is that this is VERY common in some of the most sucessful people--whether it's business, politics, entertainment, sports, science, etc. Essentially in order to be so driven to reach peak excellence in any field, somebody HAS to be irrationally obsessed in order to put in the time required to get to that level.
People at the top of their respective fields have many positive attributes. Being well-balanced is not one of them. Otherwise, by definition once they got some OK modicum of success, they would have called it a day & gone home to hang out w/ their friends/family instead.
and obseesive behavior are typical with ASD usually only if OCD is co-morbid and then really the OCD is the dominant condition. Harbaugh may have OCD but basically everybody does to some degree.

Except that autism didn't exist when Harbaugh was born. Although, he could have been the first!
it has existed for a very long time. Instead of being diagnosed as "autistic" they were considered "slow" or lumped in with other disabilities.
Autism was considered a variation on schizophrenia essentially until the early 1900s. It is actually much different although some symptoms do overlap. The two are still frequently misdiagnosed. (See Adam Lanza)

it is a schtick. I think the intensity is real but that most of the press conference stuff is him just messing with people. His interactions during games during "down times" and with players individually are really pretty normal. I don't think there is any neurological deficit or real "mental illness" there. I just think he likes to get into people's heads.

So, a degree from the state of Ohio certainly proves to be a gamble
I would object since I have a Bachelor's from OU, but my degree is in history, and I work in logistics. Long story short, I currently don't have a use for my degree.
Might want to put some quotes in the title - unless this is what you believe.

A random guy who never met Harbaugh, let alone conducted a medical exam opines on something that's not even his specialty in an article on... LinkedIn.
I'll post an article on LinkedIn saying Urban Meyer f's goats, because I have a cat and know about animals and his eyes indicate this. Should this then be posted on a credible site?

that you are giving the LinkedIn dude some clicks and therefore spreading his qucakery.
Seems realistic, now that I have read this on the internet I know believe Urbz loves him some goats, is there any other barnyard animals that he enjoys the company of?
It was bound to pop up again and again so I just debunked it in the title and OP.
I think the craziest thing is that this is analysis No. 3295. He's currently up to No. 3577. That's pretty insane all by itself. He must not be a very busy person. Also this guy was probably obsessed with the show "Lie to Me".
He's an ophthalmologist drawing conclusions based on "body language communications." His analyses probably consist of watching 20 seconds of Youtube video.
WOW how could the University of Michigan miss this in our vetting process!!! If only we had adequate resources to conduct a coaching search, Jim Hackett's laziness is a lasting stain on the program
What can we infer from an opthamalagist who makes a psychological medical diagnosis over the internet about a famous person?
Dunning-Kruger Effect
The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which relatively unskilled persons suffer illusory superiority, mistakenly assessing their ability to be much higher than it really is. Dunning and Kruger attributed this bias to a metacognitive inability of the unskilled to recognize their own ineptitude and evaluate their own ability accurately.

I like to think of myself as a professional in the pizza field, and I think Urban Meyer is a violent psychotic based on how he eats pizza.

"That's right. Psychology isn't science. Why can we definitively say that? Because psychology often does not meet the five basic requirements for a field to be considered scientifically rigorous: clearly defined terminology, quantifiability, highly controlled experimental conditions, reproducibility and, finally, predictability and testability. Happiness research is a great example of why psychology isn't science. How exactly should "happiness" be defined? The meaning of that word differs from person to person and especially between cultures. What makes Americans happy doesn't necessarily make Chinese people happy. How does one measure happiness? Psychologists can't use a ruler or a microscope, so they invent an arbitrary scale. Today, personally, I'm feeling about a 3.7 out of 5. How about you?"agree. Human psychology is far more interesting(and complex) than any "true science."
lol really? more complex than how 6 elements that came from stars (carbon, nitrogen, hydrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, and sulfer) give rise to life as we know it?
that just sounds really dusty.
i honestly envy the simple minded. you're lucky.
Disagree.
I call bullshit until he actually busts out the phrenology calipers and starts acting like a fucking professional
my dick is a spaceship.

Asbergers (or as the latest DSM terms it, being on the spectrum) is very different than what this hack is suggesting. The spectral metaphor is a good one because an enormous chunk of humanity are a little bit tinted that way, but not enough that their socialization can't smooth it over.
