Harbaugh came off as a jerk

[trapezeus]

Did anyone else think Harbaugh came off as an entitled ***** after the game?

He hardly gave the espn reporter and interview. He just said, "talk to andrew and this guy" and he walked away. Then during the award ceremony he practically yelled at the guy for asking the question, "now what?"

Those aren't really invasive questions nor are they unexpected. warning signs of a douchebag who may let his ego get the best of him and become a new shanahan. And I mean that in the derogatory 2010 manner, not the promotional, almost godlike 1998 manner.

Who cares. Reporters are annoying

Re: Harbaugh came off as a jerk

it's called having class. If you can't be a decent person when you win, what kind of ***** and awful person are you going to be to your team and coaches when you lose.

If i was a GM, that would have opened my eyes and maybe added more questions to ask in the interview.

Re: Harbaugh came off as a jerk

I see it in a totally different way. He was under the radar until this season and just isn't used to the constant talk about where he is going. It has to be pretty annoying to win a game but have the reports not even care and just constantly hound him about where he is coaching next. He didn't come off as a jerk at all to me.

Exactly Hydro I saw it that way also plus when he said talk to Luck he was trying to put the spotlight where it should of been all along on the PLAYERS

Regardless of what happened last night (I didn't see it), Harbaugh is a jerk. Don't you guys remember his playing days?

it was in his delivery. he wasn't gracious about it all. he just threw the reporter off and walked away. It was bizarre.

Reporters can be annoying, but the station just helped paid your contract. They ask that you give out a 2 second bit. You respond with something generic and shake hands and move on.

To t he guy at the award presentation he literally said, "I told you to respect the game." What the hell? is he a parent. And frankly, i hate the "respect the game" statement. What does that even mean? Respect the game means don't ask any questions about it? Ok, got it.

Harbaugh turned their program around quickly and impressively. But he also did it with a QB that many say will be a household name for the next 10 years.

I was going to say have none of you guys ever seen Harbaugh coach, play, or talk?

He's an ass, but he's also damn good as a coach. Nobody and I mean nobody is going to get Harbaugh to say anything that Harbaugh doesnt want to say. Its his personality.

An if anybody was shocked that Stanford was still throwing last night late despite being up multiple scores just re-watch a few Stanford games to see how Harbaugh coaches. He subscribes to the Beat'em Down theory.

Re: Harbaugh came off as a jerk

He's a dick, but I think he's right in this case. His team just won the Orange bowl, and some ass reporter is asking him about leaving? Let the team enjoy it's win, and Harbaugh didn't want anyone to take the focus off of the win. I agree with him in this case, but he was a bit harsh with his way of deflecting the question.

He can coach my team and be the same dick anyday

Re: Harbaugh came off as a jerk

Didn't Jim Kelly punch him out once? Or was it the other way around? I believe Kelly called him out for being a sissy and playing up his injuries.

Re: Harbaugh came off as a jerk

the way I took the "talk to andrew" comment was him actually being quite selfless...he didnt want the reporters all talking to him about his job status, he wanted Luck and his teammates to get their well deserved moment in the sun.

Re: Harbaugh came off as a jerk

He probably is a dick. Pretty sure Miss Manners wouldn't make it as a football coach. It's nice when you have a coach who can control the press without being seen as a total douchbag but it's not essential.
