I think this is dead on. Regardless of what Harbaugh may have said, Schwartz's behavior went one step beyond and then one step beyond that.

Post game handshakes are a bit different though, don't you think? It seems a little bit like taunting.

[–]ColtsVictory33 27 points28 points ago

He came up shook his hand, patted him on the back, then went back to being excited. I didn't see anything to get that upset about, he didn't taunt the other coach, he just had a lot of emotions and was trying to get back to celebrating with his team.

[–]LionsSunwalker 6 points7 points ago

He clearly said something to him. Schwartz was totally cool w the celebrating until harbaugh opened his mouth and then schwartz looked kind of shocked and then began the chase.

This is what I thought the first time I saw the interaction. But the more I watch it, I realize that Harbaugh's back-slap was totally uncalled-for. Schwartz messed up by running after him.

One was very high - One was very low. Professionalism says put it all aside for 30 seconds, and be cool. They both failed.

Nothing here to warrant a fight. Harbaugh was untucking his shirt, but that is a deal he has with his players. After a win, you are supposed to be able to untuck your shirt, his deal with his players. He was also just happy after a hard fought game. Nothing here to want to fight over. If I recall correctly, Schwartz can also get very exuberant after his wins too.

Schwartz came off like a douche, or at least much more of a douche than Harbaugh.

It's not like Jim Schwartz has never celebrated winning a game like that either... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9CEJvkUeBYw

Edit: I realize this may make me look like a bitter Vikings fan with the flair showing. For what it's worth, I had no problems with Schwartz celebrating the game winning field goal against the Vikings, just like I have no problem with Harbaugh celebrating the win here. I like seeing coaches show emotion like that after a big win, but Schwartz chasing after Harbaugh was just a bit much.

[–]Vikingsscycon 14 points15 points ago*

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I don't think it's about the celebrating, it's the fact that Harbaugh brushed him off rather than taking the time to actually shake his hand and say good game as a fellow coach, sure he shook his hand and slapped him on the back but he barely looked at him. It's just not the way it is usually done in the NFL.

[–]EaglesKeepSwinging 4 points5 points ago

Obviously your a 49ers fan and your opinion will be biased.

I agree that nothing should result in a fight, but the way that Harbaugh shook Schwartz's hand was unprofessional.

In my unbiased opinion, Schwartz would have been in the right to just walk away because Harbaugh looked stupid the way he shook his hand. But, when Swartz went looking for him and bumped him is when Swartz was in the wrong.

All in all, Swartz will look like a sore loser, while Harbaugh will look like hes rubbing it in too much.

[–]49ersbarrows_arctic 5 points6 points ago

The problem is that we won the game. Now we've given them an extra emotional reason to dislike us and be all that much more pumped to beat us in a potential postseason matchup. When you go into somebody else's home and beat them there, you need to walk away classy, quietly, and happy with the win and nothing else. Keep your emotions in check when they don't matter (i.e. after the clock has wound down).

[–]LionsS0noPritch 3 points4 points ago

Throw in that plenty of Lions fans are also Michigan fans and you could really see some emotion start to brew against the 49ers.

[–]49ersbarrows_arctic 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I hope it stays civil. Given that the 49ers and Lions both appear to be teams on the rise, I would hope that this could develop into something similar to what the 49ers had with the Cowboys in the early and mid 1990s. A good, passionate, but civil and well-played rivalry. Let's not let off-field crap get in the way.

[–]LionsS0noPritch 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

It could get interesting. I think the Harbaugh/Michigan angle would really add something unique to a rivalry but that's really only from the fan's perspective. Michigan fans love to support the ongoing careers of their alumni but he's always had a chip on his shoulder that we've struggled to explain away even during our coaching search this past off season. If local fans turn on Harbaugh and light up local sports radio about it then it's inevitably going to fuel the Lions' drive to beat them. Things could very well get interesting. I for one welcome the idea that the Lions may now be good enough to start a real rivalry.

[–]49ersbarrows_arctic 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I think the Lions are already good enough. It's going to be a little tougher for you to sustain multi-season success because of the absolute powerhouse that exists elsewhere in your division (compared to the doldrums of the NFC West), but despite today's win for the 49ers, I personally think the Lions are probably a tiny bit ahead of the 49ers in their restructuring and team building. Matt Stafford has no chips on his shoulder in the way that Smith does, and the Lions, though not successful in recent years, also haven't failed to meet expectations to the degree the 49ers have. The 49ers have had some instability (coaching, coordinators, players) in the offseason, and are still learning a new system and a new coach. It's frankly astounding that there hasn't been a problem yet this season, and I'm sure we still have some growing pains ahead of us that simply haven't shown themselves yet.

Teams like to have cross-division rivalries because of the semi-rarity that they play one another. It's going to depend on whether or not we meet one another in the postseason.

Hmm, Harbaugh wasn't exactly the model of sportsmanship on that handshake either.

[–]49erssnagra 14 points15 points ago*

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I didn't see what Harbaugh did exactly, but he must have done something to piss him off so much. Either way, you don't go at a coach and look for a fight when you are a coach.

If I recall correctly, Schwartz has done some of the same stuff after some of his wins.

[–]49ersTheWholeEnchelada 10 points11 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

To be fair, judging from his time at Stanford, it's pretty clear that Harbaugh doesn't give a fuck about you if you're not on his team. He is not a good model of sportsmanship but he doesn't care; he only cares about winning. That is why I loved him at Stanford and continue to love him in SF.

[–]kevco 4 points5 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

He's always been an asshole. I had experience with him when he was at USD. He was a dick to pretty much everyone on the team, and most of the players I knew were glad when he left. He never really took responsibility for his DUI either, which isn't a very good example to set to a bunch of college kids.

He Ran at him and slapped him on the back so hard it pushed him then ran off, you could just see when they had the shot of Schwartz he said "What the Fuck?" and then ran after him, I think they both made some bad decisions, Harbaugh shouldn't have acted like that when he shook his hand if you get excited try and contain it away from the other coach so it doesn't look like your rubbing it in.

Harbaugh shook his hand too hard. Warning to other NFL coaches: Jim Schwartz has delicate hands.

[–]Aytenlol 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Both people seem to be somewhat at fault for me. I don't blame Schwartz for getting mad about it, but running after the other coach like that seemed unwarranted. I don't think that Harbaugh's intentions were malicious at all.

I thought this was pretty unsportsmanlike as well. Dez had just made a catch (which was pretty amazing) and was jawing with one of the opposing players like what seems to happen on pretty much every play. When the completion was overturned this was Schwartz's reaction. I don't think that I've ever seen a coach talk trash to an opposing player like that.

I think Schwartz is an emotional guy, and his players feed off of that emotion, but this time it looks like he let his emotions and competitiveness get the better of him.

After watching that handshake like 100 times because of NFL Network wanting drama. I can clearly say that it was Schwartz overreacting and not so much Harbaugh's fault. I mean, Harbaugh literally shook his hand, said good game and patted his back. Schwartz's response? YOU SLAPPED ME YOU HOEBAG. I'M GOING TO KILL YOU.

It's not like Harbaugh reared back his hand as far back as he could and slapped him with the force of a two ton hammer. No, after watching it that many times, it was a light, quick slap, with not enough motion to generate enough force.

And as for Schwartz trying to defend his bitch move, yeah saying BOOM MOTHERFUCKER on national television and then WHAT THE FUCK HEY LEARN THE FUCKING RULES. Yeah, total class from him all the time right...

I can't speak for anyone else, but my back is extremely sensitive to back-slapping. Even one that seems to be light can hurt like hell. Not defending his over-reaction, but if it was something like that, in that heat-of-the-moment situation, I might over-react too.

wow, NFL pulled it down. Bullet points (full disclosure, I'm a 49ers fan): 1st half, Harbaugh jumps around and untucks his shirt in a slightly obnoxious way, and Handshakes Schwartz and pats him on the back. Then he starts going towards the locker room, but Schwartz follows him, yelling. Form a different video, you can tell that a security guy, or someone in a suit, tries to separate Schwartz from Harbaugh, and 49ers RT Anthony Davis kinda pushes him away (I don't think it was too violent, but I've never been pushed by an NFL O-lineman.) The players face off as they go into the tunnel to the locker room. Some (on both sides) put helmets back on. Backup 49ers Tackle Alex Boone comes running in pissed off and gets into the middle, but 49ers Gaurd Iupati backs him off. They stand there yelling at eachother for a minute, then the coaches and security separate the players and Detroit goes in the locker room first.

It isn't about being a gracious winner or good sportsmanship. The media just loves to blow shit out of proportion and pretend that coaches and players have to be best friends.

[–]EaglesMYGODWHATHAVEIDONE 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Shaking hands with your opponent isn't about being best friends, it's about respect. Good rivalries are built on mutual respect, and good sportsmanship is part of keeping the game clean. You can hate the other side's guts all you want, but no one will respect you if you're ungracious in victory. It's not that hard to shake someone's hand, seriously.

This is also not some media-manufactured controversy. The coaches had to be separated on the field. Players getting chippy is one thing, but coaches acting that way is another.

Looks like Harbaugh may have started it by swearing on top of just jumping around.

@Sloc12 Ryan Slocum Schwartz said he went to shake Harbaugh's hand and he was "greeted with an obsenity" 12 minutes ago via web

Edit: imo, Harbaugh probably just said "fuck yeah" or something like that. I doubt he cursed at Schwartz

Fuck yeah can easily sound like Fuck you in a noisy stadium if you're yelling it while jumping.

Huh? It's the fucking NFL, not Sunday School. If someone in the NFL can't stand cursing, they need to GTFO.

So? Schwartz screamed Boom Mother Fucker a few weeks ago. If he's capable of swearing, he should be capable of hearing it without acting like he's all offended.

I didn't see any screaming at Schwartz in the replays. Admit it, your coach over reacted like a psycho.

I'm not even weighing in on Schwartz's actions this afternoon one way or the other. I think people are bringing up the "Boom mother fucker" line like he walked up to the coach and fist pumped in his face when they were probably more than 50 yards apart when he said it just second after the game ended. It's evidence of absolutely nothing for either side of today's argument.

They both were a little over the top. Harbaugh essentially leaped and skipped and hopped his way up until the handshake and through it. Schwartz is the wrong coach to do that to as he's a little edgy. Schwartz should've reacted less, Harbaugh shouldn't have acted like he just won the super bowl. Both at fault.

Yep, shouldn't look like he just won the superbowl. Schwartz can't have his cake and eat it to.

There is a difference between celebrating on your sideline and jumping around and screaming right in the other coaches face.

[–]BearsMigratedCoconut 1 point2 points ago

He ran out to midfield fist bumping in that game. And he runs around on the sideline screaming all game long, getting in players faces. Was it needed for Harbaugh to do that? No, but Schwartz isn't the coach to call him on it. Schwartz is the same type of high passion high energy coach. Boom motherfucker.

There is a shit ton of difference between a guy being happy and a guy chasing someone down forty yards. Schwartz acted like a spoiled child.

Schwartz is a little bitch. He can dish it (i.e. the Lions-Cowboys game), but he can't take it.

So that's how the 49ers get coverage on ESPN. Just pretend the game is called "Real Coaches of San Francisco County."

So I didn't realize Jim Schwartz was such a child. What the hell was the matter with him? Yeah Harbaugh was kind of over exuberant, but a big handshake and a slap on the back is not an insult. Hell that is how my grandfather greets me and he was a football coach too. For Schwartz to find that insulting and then to run the guy down multiple times just shows what an incredibly little person he is. I hope he gets fined to hell for that.

I'll stand by him. I don't give a fuck how he acts. 5-1 is damn good for any team, especially this one.

I don't care that Schwartz acts like an ass. Wanye Fontes would have asked for Harbaugh's autograph.

I think both coaches looked like imbeciles. Unless you just won the Super Bowl, celebrate in the locker room.

You think any player is out there looking for their head coach to be doing a jig? They don't give a shit.

im pretty impressed with what harbaugh did, with very little to work with. on his way to coach of the year, particularlygiven that the weak nfc west is playing the brutal north this year and hes putting down wins..

edit: by lack of talent i meant in the qb position, because of alex smith because you konw.

I'm not sure about very little to work with, we've been very competitive in plenty of games against contenders the last few years. The only difference is we lost them. A lot of mistakes/mismanagement by the team/coaching staff alike.

Dude San Fran has lots of talent. Harbaugh is a good coach, but he isn't working with peanuts.

I think Harbaugh told Schwartz "I knew your team was overrated."

Lions fans were thinking they were as good as the Packers. Nope. Not even as good as the 49ers.

The 49'ers are sure getting uppity. Years of pathetic, losing seasons, and now they have half a good season and they think they are the Patriots. Save the gloating for when you have done something other than beat the Lions.

I'm a Cowboy fan :-(

I did make a prediction that the 49ers were going to beat the Lions, however. Fundamentally, I think the 49ers are a better coached team playing better fundamental football.

Lions have more talent and upside, however.

Ahh, well, it sounded like 49'er gloating. There is a lot of that going on in this thread. You can tell by the amount of downvotes I get :)

[–]CowboysLegioXIV 1 point2 points ago

No, it's just fight calculus gloating. X beat Y but got beat by Z but Y beat Z therefore Y is better than X. Where Y = Cowboys, X = Lions, and Z = 49ers. Aka trying to find a silver lining in a 2-3 Cowboys team. No downvotes from me.

See, as a Seahawks fan this season, we are overjoyed to have 2 wins. I personally thought we might not win 2 games this year. Anyway, have some upvotes!

Harbaugh is a stud for leading his team to victory. After game handshake is small potatoes in the grand scheme of things.
