By the way, Jim Schwartz doesn't like Harbaugh. Check out this video from after the game.

No one does. I remember before he coached his first game how the media was saying he won't make any friends. He does seem to be a good coach though. And mazel to Alex Smith. He deserves it.

In the span of 5 seconds at the end of that game, I went from absolutely loving Jim Harbaugh to souring on him and hoping to see his jaw detached from his grandpa face.

I had no problem with what Harbaugh did. He was excited for a BIG win. All Harbaugh did was shake Schwartz's hand a little too hard, which he even admitted to in his press conference. Schwartz was talking trash all week, and even talked trash in the pre-game. He said the 49ers deferred after winning the toss because they were afraid of the Lions home crowd. Guess what Schwartz? Niners have deferred every time when winning the toss this season.

All Harbaugh did was be completely unprofessional and be an ***. Got it.

The writer of this article has it right.

Schwartz said "there's a protocol in this league," implying Harbaugh violated some unwritten rule of postgame sportsmanship. It's rich, to say the least, that Schwartz would be offended after a season of exuberant fist-pumps, cursing at officials and taunting opposing players. Those instances were fun and representative of the Lions' newfound passion, but this one violated protocol? Hmmmm.

Harbaugh might have been exuberant, but nothing that I saw him do was unsportsmanlike. If he directed an obscenity to Schwartz, it wasn't clear on video. And even if had, it wouldn't be beyond the realm of an NFL coach to maintain his composure in that situation rather than charge after his counterpart.

.......

For his part, Harbaugh took the blame for shaking Schwartz's hand too hard.

"That is totally on me," Harbaugh said. "I shook his hand too hard. I really went in and it was a strong, kind of a slap-grab handshake."

But to be clear: No handshake and no obscenity could merit Schwartz’s reaction. Either there is more to this story, or Schwartz needs to take a few (dozen) deep breaths next time. If he had an issue with Harbaugh, he should have settled it on the phone Monday morning. To use a phrase I’ve heard him say a few times: Good grief.

Then why did Harbaugh apologize?

Blaming Saints loss on not having Sean Payton as playcaller.

Really? I thought it was a chicken **** douchebag move, totally unprofessional, and I hope Harbaugh gets clocked on the sideline like Sean Payton did.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

I don't understand everyone's problem with what Harbaugh did.
