Wasn't he the guy who practically asaulted the Lions coach instead of just shaking his hand? <Mod cut - false statement>

And they said Mike Singletary was a wingnut. I would take Singletary 7 days a week over that guy.

I think all the media hype about how "awesome" he is has gotten to his head. He kind of kept it at a decent level coaching in the college level, but since hitting the pro's he's kind of turned into an egotistical ass. I appreciate intensity and passion for the game and his job, but he can be such a sore loser and cry baby, yet when things go his way and other's act out of place, he'll easily point the finger. Didn't he turn down interviews after the game tonight? Maybe I heard wrong on that, so don't quote me.

I think I did see Harbaugh briefly shake Coughlins hand after the game-----he spent zero time with Coughlan and fled the scene as if an air raid was under way.

Harbaugh strikes me as the kind of guy that his team would run through a brick wall for----and that the opponents he faces would like to run him through the same brick wall.

He obviously knows how to win-----he is well organized, knows talent, and will be a winner for a long time.

He does seem to know slightly irritate the media and other coaches and gms. I really dont want to judge him as a villian----we all have our own personality flaws and traits.

Eventually he will have the officials in the league on his back----he is pretty tough on them.

He happens to be a good coach and a huge a$$hole...the two aren't mutually exclusive!

I think there are about 26 other teams that would love to have the guy coaching their team.

Well, true. Even with my above comments that I made, if he could turn around my Cleveland Browns, I'd take him. Hell, at this point, if Hitler himself could come back and coach the Browns to glory, i'd accept it. **Joke people, please don't take offense**

No. I'd call this a false rumor. He did in fact shake Coughlin's hand.

I think that the Lions' coach was the jerk in that other exchange you mention as Harbaugh was just excited.

Jim Schwartz was the douchebag in that situation and he did shake Coughlin's hand. So I am not sure what you are complaining about.

I didn't like the guy when he was the Bears QB and cheered when Ditka melted down on him on national TV so I am biased. I think he must be a good coach, but he needs to learn some class.

He'll end up like Rex Ryan and have a schtick that will wear out if he doesn't show people respect.

After the AFC Championship when he lost with Indy to Pittsburgh and there was questionable call on the last pass, he had a smile on his face and basically said you win some, you lose some so I dont know how you can call him a cry baby. He is a competitor. I think sometimes coaches are too politically correct. A real coach is a competitor and should be pissed off when they lose.
