Harbaugh weighs in on sideline altercation with Suggs

Dec 20, 2011

Surely the Ravens sideline during their debacle in San Diego was not a fun place to be. Photos of Terrell Suggs reportedly yelling at head coach John Harbaugh surfaced after the Ravens fell 34-14 to the Bolts. The defensive player of the year candidate voiced his frustrations in a game in which nothing appeared to being going right.

On Monday, not surprisingly, Harbaugh downplayed the altercation. “That’s what an NFL sideline is like, especially when you dig yourself out of a hole,” he said according to CBSSports.com.

Those comments don’t necessarily sound like Harbaugh is denying the screaming match that was caught on camera. It sounds as though the Ravens head coach is simply explaining what was obviously seen by the public.

Can you believe this crap from Harbaugh because I don’t…

Harbaugh said: “And for me personally, part of our style is to interact with the players throughout the course of the game a lot. And I’m always asking guys what they think or sharing my thoughts or whatever”

Has anyone ever seen that clown Harbaugh interact with any player during a game? Never!

This is one reason why Harbaugh is a joke and does not deserve to be a head coach much less the Baltimore Ravens head coach who if they had a different coach would have won at least one Super Bowl in the last 3 years.

This guy never talks to a player and like MGW said, why does he carry a play chart in the back of his pants? He never uses it… Harbaugh is clueless during the games.

  Couldn’t agree more,,,,,,the sooner we get rid of this pretender of a head coach the sooner we will win a super bowl,,,,,,,,,,,,this man will always be out-coached in games that are meaningful and the players know it……………

But guys, “we’ve BEEN to the playoffs 4 straight years now”.

Problem is, with a real coach we could be saying “we’ve won the Super Bowl and been to the playoffs 4 straight years.”

I’m sure San Diego and Cleveland were in a honeymoon stage with Marty Schottenheimer, too, when they “went to the playoffs”.

Worst part is, Schottenheimer is twice the coach that Harbaugh is.
