💬 Harbaugh is quite the jack-ass

[OldPlayer]

Herbie comments: "Saban is probably the most misunderstood and misrepresented coach in the country and it's because of all the success he's had..."

True, true and true. I can't tell you how many people I know who don't like Saban because they think his one-on-one personality is just like his media-presented personality.

s media-presented personality.

Perfectly phrased.

While Harbaugh coached at Stanford, he faced Rick Neuheisel and UCLA on occasion. Neuheisel, now a CBS analyst, was on the Dan Patrick Show Thursday and was asked about a famous handshake incident he had with Harbaugh.

“They won 24-16 and we’re driving trying to get the tying score and he comes across to shake hands — and this is before he did it to (former Detroit Lions coach) Jim Schwartz, by the way — and he just slaps my hand and (says) ‘What’d you think about that, Ricky?'” Neuheisel said. “And I’m like, Did that just happen? I mean who does that?”

Neuheisel didn’t say anything to Harbaugh. He was in shock.

“I was literally like, Who does that?

“He gets so lost in the competition. I mean, he competes at everything

In a Bleacher Report feature story published earlier this week, Frank Beamer recalled an awkward moment with Harbaugh when Stanford played Virginia Tech in the 2010 Orange Bowl. A few days before the game, Beamer and Harbaugh were at an event in Miami and started talking.

“Jim says over and over how much respect he has for Georgia Tech. He must have said it five times. I’m just looking at him like, ‘Are you serious?’

“Finally, I’m joking with him and I say I can’t wait to tell my team that you called us Georgia Tech. Because, you know, we’re Virginia Tech.”

Harbaugh then gave Beamer a firey, uncomfortable stare.

“Well,” Harbaugh said, according to Beamer. “I can’t wait to tell my players that you said you were going to play Samford, not Stanford!” He then turned and walked away.

I've never really had an opinion of Harbaugh before this comedy routine came up. Now...if people see what I think I see...this man should be avoided. He's a clown, and he's turning CFB into a circus. I may be wrong, it won't be the first time.

Roll Tide!

For those who didn't take the time to read this ...

Harbaugh calling Saban a hypocrite...remember that?

This makes the second violation of NCAA rules Harbaugh/Michigan have been involved with in the last six months.

Let's not forget this is about the kids, right?
