How many times will Harbaugh be flagged for the "Harbaugh Rule" during 2013?

I strongly believe now the NFL will do everything in its power now to keep screwing us out of winning a SB (and/or getting to one), and this isn't sour grapes, it is what it is, Goodell and his house boys are making it clear the the 49ers = the new Raiders under Harbaugh.

Goodell + the refs despise Harbaugh and it's as simple as that. He needs to try kissing a little ass instead of being a dick to them.

So would Pete Carroll have been flagged in that GB replacement refgate game?

Strongly disagree. Lets leave the ref ass kissing to Pete Carrol. I want our coach to be himself at all times. Stay true to yourself. I know Jack Harbaugh agrees and so do the players! He's one of a kind and I would be a fan of his even if he was coaching another team. His press conferences alone make me a fan. Alot of Harbaugh's sideline antics are calculated as well. Make no mistake about it. Even when he's looks like he's losing control he's not. Ever wonder how he ALWAYS keeps his emotions in check with the players and his staff? If he was that emotional it would carry over into other parts of the game but it doesn't. He's always going to try and get that extra inch or take that chance if he thinks there's the slightest chance it could provide an advantage. Thats why he's a great coach. He's a winner and straight Aces in my book!

The idea that there should be some leeway at some times and warnings at times and flags at others is a f**king joke and all too typical of today's NFL. Rules should be black and white without shades of gray whenever possible.

Agreed! That said, honestly, sometimes a coach has to literally chase down these refs for TO's, red flags, etc. So will these refs be reprimanded for "ignoring" coaches as well during crucial times of the game? You see in every game HC's literally, having to run out to the field and literally, assaulting them just to get their attention. These refs have been habituated so much, its no wonder coaches have to do this. There needs to be a better system for both parties. Refs are concentrating on the game and HC's are trying to play within them.

I understand that harbuagh is very competitive, but he does get a little carried away with his sideline antics. Screaming at the refs and falling to ground will not make the refs pick up the flags.

Maybe of the refs would get it right he wouldn't have to come on the field. I see him not trying to get penalized but I can see him following a ref down the sideline to yell and get flagged for it

lets be real here, he looks like a baby when he does it. if he coached the bills or browns we would be laughing at him. great coach, but he needs to tone it down, coach with some professionalism. is this how he acts when he goes to have a bowl of cereal in the morning and opens the fridge and there is no milk? my point is at some point whats happened has happened (no milk in the fridge or no flag when you think there should be one) and you have to let it go. i'm not saying be emotionless on the sideline in those circumstances, but he can certainly find a happy middle ground.

I was already predicting that Harbaugh was going to calm down a little next season. He's always talking about getting better each day. No way he goes through an entire off season without a little self-reflection and thought about what he can do to help the team and increase his effectiveness on the sideline. He's a smart man and I'm sure he knows that letting his emotions get the better of him hasn't made him any friends with the refs. And does anyone around here think he doesn't know what happened in the Super Bowl. Even if you want to argue that the refs didn't decide the game, you certainly have to admit that overall, they weren't what you would call friendly to the Niners. And, no way he's going to jump out on the field and cost his team a penalty. He's a player. In fact, my prediction is that this new rule helps him calm down.

That's dumb
what if they need a timeout and the refs dont see them?

kinda like this one

why does the NFL hate the Niners. I just dont understand

at least 3 he can't help himself

If you say so. I didn't mean it literally just maybe do a little less barking at them all game. It pisses them off and hurts the team as a result. I got nothing but love for Harbaugh but he needs to control himself or the refs will keep making him lose. Sorry but I cannot get behind anything that hurts the team.
