Sark getting mad before Alamo game

Problem solved: Texas needs to hire Mattress Mack to be our sideline relations ambassador.

It is funny, when Mac told the Philly fans that were bad mouthing Altuve to go bleep themselves, a few pundits called for his head, Houston told the pundits to go bleep themselves. Where is the humanity?

I think Sark is a bit self-conscious about his recent weight gain and was obviously triggered by the overt fondling of his moob.

He gains weight every season and as seen last season, loses it over the summer. He seems more relaxed during fall camp but appears to crank the the stress level up as the season goes on.
 
My feeling is this: he acted like a clown. He over-reacted. There's a glitch in there somewhere. He didn't need to do it in order to fire the team up. Discipline is huge in football and the pre-snap penalties and personal fouls fall into that category and his reaction was a personal foul. Tom Landry wouldn't have done it. Maybe Ditka would have. Saban too. But it's not impressive at all. And then we lose the game. Where's his head?

i don't disagree with you at all. let's be clear. nobody is copping a moob of Mr Landry. he was respected. so while i agree with you, there is something to the guy touching the coach multiple times.

I'm not defending the administrator (for lack of a better word). I just think the response was disappointing. And yes, Landy was respected and possibly feared because of his icy stare.
 
My issue has zip to do with snowflakes, I agree our society has become terribly sensitive.

The issue isn’t me being ‘offended’ or even the man who was called a mfer, the focus is about one man’s absurd tantrum over something that I doubt 99.8% of anyone here would do in a similar situation.

It’s the crazy eye, bowed up chest followed with the words he’s accountable for on someone inferior.

My point, and I’m really trying to move on-
If Sark ‘touched’ this man’s chest, ( good grief, that’s all it takes,) would it be okay for the man doing his job to say “get your fing hands off me …mfer “coupled with a physical stance one normal equates to a violent invitation ?
Of course not. That man would be fired.

Any man comes at me like that, I’m thinking defense mode and wondering do I wait for him to hit or just try to defend myself.

I like Sark. He’s the right guy. Absolutely not a fireable offense. But act like a leader and learn.

The scary thing for me is, the reaction was very low IQ. Not saying he’s dumb, obviously he’s not, but does he have the intellect and discipline to get the program back to where it belongs. Herman supposedly was Mensa, so probably good in the classroom, but it takes way more than classroom smarts. Is Sark Herman 2.0? I hope not but we don’t know.
 
I think WE are over reacting to Sark's reaction to what is undoubtedly regular aggressive behavior by media idoits.
IF,IF This what 8 sec vid incident(with no context ) had not been hyped and overblown by azzhole media
Who would care?
Texas haters and media got what they wanted

To me this is about as news worthy as Bevo trying to kill UGA because some dummy doesn't understand Steers hate Bull dogs. CONTROL YOUR STEER!

I agree. I will say I didn’t hear of the media hype.
I based my opinion solely on the video before any media BS.

I do agree that the media hyped this. But my point to that is , Sark- have situational awareness. The media would not have hyped this if it didn’t happen.

Nothing good came out of it. Put your thinking cap on next time, Sark. He would have disciplined a player for doing the same Dbag move.
 
Some may have a problem relating to this, but you don't **** with a coach or his team on their way to field. Furthermore, you do not put your hands on a coach. We should be glad the guy didn't put his hands on one of our linemen at that time. We'd be following his hourly upgrade reports from Methodist Hospital.

To make it clearer, what would the storyline be if Sark had grabbed the female reporter by the boob?

I did that once. At church. Pitch black auditorium and thought I was reaching for my wife’s shoulder. A very firm grab, I must say.
I still haven’t recovered.
 
The aspect of this that is worrying to me is Sark's frame of mind and the obvious need for friend/mentor/personal coach to help him get his state of mind right before a pressure packed contest. My son describes the zone from band competition "head clear, heart on fire!"

Most of the time, Sark is a nice, patient guy. He was abused by the ESPN guy and had a right to respond with hostility. But ideally it would have used some brainpower, a sense of humor and put the manboob grabber in a place to be chastened and apologetic. "Something like... that's not an appropriate way to touch another man. You wanna milk something... go try Bevo."

Instead Sark responded with the angry German Shepherd response...uncreative hostility..

To me it's worrisome that Sark seemed to respond in a way that betrays lingering anger ... maybe with media that is always sniping, maybe with a fanbase that's hard to please. Intensity is fine and necessary, but anger can't overwhelm your sense of fun and creativity or you won't be in a mindset to do your best.

Sark, don't let the ******** get you down. Instead have fun getting the better of them. I don't think we can completely go into a "What would Jesus do?" mode, cause football wasn't in the New Testament. Maybe a "What would Pete Carroll do here?" might work.
 
According to Quora, nipple stimulation outside the sacrament of marriage is a mortal sin. Perhaps Steve was erotically stimulated by the boob touching from another man (also a mortal sin) & fearing a double mortal sin (going to Hell 2x?!?!) he found himself in fear for his mortal soul and it was his way of saying, "Get thee behind me, Satan!!" ... Or not.

Again, his response to being groped lasted maybe two seconds.
Not what I would call a tantrum.
Your description of what happened is over the top and hyperbolic.
I can't believe we're still clutching our pearls over this.

sir, it’s my honest opinion. Nothing more and that’s what this forum is for.

I like Sark, but what he did showed emotional instability and I’ll stand by my statement that if that was Mike Tyson in an alley. he’d been able to stand up for himself without acting like that. Be angry, tell him to keep away,,, no issue.

I’ll be back once I Google hyperbolic.

Update after Google.
I find your tautological response interesting.

(Moon, that’s a joke- I raised your hyperbole with a tautological.

Is it wrong of me to say that this story impacts me not at all? Like I give a spit if Sark's demeanor for 2 bleeping seconds in a crowded tunnel right before a game is the essence of his existence and capability as a coach.
 
Whether anyone cares about it or not or thinks it relevant is one matter, but guaging or evaluating the behavior itself is another. Ill leave the question of importance or relevance to others, but on the latter question...no doubt his reaction was childish, absurd, strange, immature, ill advised, dishonorable, unnecessary, and reflected a disturbing lack of self control. Not a good look.
The dude simply said hold up a couple of times and gently placed an open hand on his chest...which is basically his job there...nothing more as far as we know.
...And Sark went berserk....yes..for only a few seconds...but berserk nonetheless.
Im certainly not here to condemn the man....just stating my view and opinion/perspective on the behavior since that is the topic here.
 
I saw a video of a post-bowl ceremony. A dude tried to put his arm around a woman. Said women grabbed his arm removed it from her back, and kindly fringed (flung?) it away at the end, maintaining a half smile. That’s what Sark should have done instead of going all Johnny Dangerously on him.

I've never seen such exaggeration from so many people.
He leaned over and said something to the guy.
You may not agree with what he said but he wasn't going berserk.
He didn't lean over screaming spitting in the guy's face.
There was no tantrum.
Didn't go berserk.
And I'm done with this thread.

Yeah, Harbaugh is so reserved. More likely what happened is he saw this thread on HF that was posted the day BEFORE his game and loss to TCU. So, he was able to learn from it.

Nothing to see here.
 
He didn’t just lean over and say something lol, but I do agree a lot of exaggerations going on. He yelled at him to take his F’ing hands off of him. I didn’t even think this was a debate. I thought the argument was if his reaction was justified. Both sides have points. At the end of the day, not a big deal. Beard on the other hand :facepalm:
 
IMO, just an overreaction and shows he has some growing up to do. I’d like to think “growing up” would have been accomplished by now but, oh well.
