I don’t see where some are saying taste of his own medicine, and he can give it but not take it. This wasn’t a fist pump after a win, nor was it cheering with your players. This was a pompous arrogant dismissal and straight up refusal to acknowledge the head coach of the other team congratulating you with his hand outstretched. It was a shove and a dismissal. If Schwartz hadn’t gone after him, I would have lost respect for him. Harbaugh needs to grow the hell up. You don’t dis ANYONE the way he did and not expect at least words. Should have gotten himself face fisted. Had nothing to do with a “handshake”. He didn’t even acknowledge Schwartz as a person.

If Harbaugh had done that to me, I would have slap-shoved him across the top of his head with a smile on my face.

Punishment would just be more All American closing of the barn door after the horses are already in the meadow…Harbaugh can be fined for over-exuberance which is counter-intuitive for football and Schwartz will punish himself when he sees the film and notices that he looks like a Moe. He was the true instigator; and yet, even his over-exuberance is understandable. Losing is tough for anyone but it’s always made worse when you lose your cool and come off as a huffy kid. Suck up!

Ultimately if you don’t want the opposing team celebrating on your turf, then win the game

People act as if coaches dont give each other the cold shoulder after almost every game…. No eye contact? Belicheck/Mangini, Haley/McDaniels. Anyone? Come on, lets stop pretending that the norm is Walsh/Wyche after the 1989 Superbowl.

Sure Harbaugh should exercise more restraint henceforth. But what does that say about Schwartz? The guy running 40 yards down the field trying to “fight” an opposing coach. Was this part of the “protocol” Schwartz was speaking too?

It is a good thing that Jim Schwartz did not channel his inner-LeGarrette Blount.

The poor little baby got his feelings hurt again…which seems par for the course with him. I noticed someone said that if you make contact with another coach you can be fined? I guess that stops the handshakes after the game doesn’t it? Detroit must just be an acronym for whiner.

Jim Harbaugh is a terrible sport. But we already knew that.

This SF team isn’t nearly good enough to start rubbing in wins and burning bridges. You’re the ‘Niners, for God’s sake. Your QB is Alex Smith. You’re 5-1 not 13-3. Remember the 6-0 Denver start 2 years ago? Coincidence? No play-making QB.

But keep it ‘Niner, Jim.

Schwartz acted like a turd too.

@tiffpats4eva

Honestly, no beef here, but are you asking “learn how to spell liberal” or “learn how to spell, liberal”?

Oh, and just so you know, we 49er fans have been losing 4eva, too. Please forgives our coaches’ trespasses, as we forgive a Schwartz who trespesses against us. LOL

Jim Schwartz better learn how to lose better than this, this was the first of many to come.

Are you kidding me? They did nothing but lose last year. Try to keep up, genius. Also, learn how to spell liberal.

I watched this game, and the incident transpire both live and the replay. This article does not accurately portray what happened, nor does anyone know what Harbaugh said, which I think is as important as what he did.

The Lions I get, they have always sucked. But, the Niners have some history. Oh well, can’t wait to watch the playoff game. Good luck at Lambeau!

Looked like a couple of teams that don’t know how to react after winning/losing a big game. Schwartz left himself open to anything after he jawed on Dez Bryant a few weeks back. Loser franchises.

Schwartz likes to dish it out but can’t take it..but I think this goof actually thought they were going to go undefeated.Back to the blackout days in Murder City!!

Schwartz does not disrespect the other coaches at the end of games. What the heck are you dumb fans talking about? This was clearly a classless act starting from harbaugh. He looks like a cry baby loser who gets emotional about everything, even more then schwartz.

Did Harbaugh just win the SuperBowl? Dial it down buddy, kind looks like something Pete Carroll would do.

———————————————-

Um no don’t even go there. Pete Carroll may be energized on the sidelines, but he knows how to go out and shake hands like a good sport win or lose. Jim Harbaugh has no class, never has had, never will have.

Typical the league office wants to fine Schwatz, don’t look at the gutless, classless, actions of Harbaugh after the game. Every talk show afterwards said the same thing, Harbaugh was the same when he played and everyone agreed that Schwartz did what each would have done.

Maybe Detroit can use one of those vacant buildings in the city and use it as a Kleenex plant. Looks like they are going to needs lots of it around ford field tonight and in the coming weeks. I also suggest all residence around ford field get flood insurance from all the tears. Schwants is as classless a coach I have EVER witnessed. You lions fans deserve better, not your fault your coach is a complete donkey.

@californiasquonk …

In the link you posted of Schwartz, he was reacting to the win on his own sideline, not in the face of the opposing coach. One has nothing to do with the other. Silly comparison.

“Then you must have loved Mike Singletary.

How’d that work out for niner fans?”

I think this is an attempt at making a joke. Don’t ever try to compare the two, buddy.

It reminded me of the Buddy Ryan coaching days.

The whole coach shake hands thing is kind of old now. It was cute and novel when Dick Vermeil I believe was the first to start it in the late 70s, but is it really necessary?

I don’t think it’s the (almost) shirtless celebrating that caused the charge by Schwartz. Harbaugh said something in that brief handshake that prompted an “F— you” by Schwartz and a subsequent chase as Harbaugh runs away. And Harbaugh’s comments about shaking Schwartz’s hand too hard in the press conference is not sincere. He’s being a jerk…that’s obvious. Aaanyway, both coaches were out of line. Let’s move on.

Harbaugh was excited to beat a highly rated team away for home. If he was my coach and I saw him get that excited I’d love it and I’d give my all for the guy.

Then you must have loved Mike Singletary.

How’d that work out for niner fans?

Harbaugh would destroy schwartz in a fight
=================

Based upon what?

Only a fool who hasn’t been in many fights in his life would attempt to determine who would win a fight by their size or how they look or how hard-assed they act.

If you saw Urijah Faber, all 5’6″, 135 pounds of him, walking down the street, you would probably think you could take him.

It would be the last mistake you made.
