WATCH: Jim Harbaugh wouldn't even shake Dan Mullen's hand after beatdown
After Florida’s 41-15 win over Michigan in the Peach Bowl, Wolverines coach Jim Harbaugh did not appear interested in shaking hands with UF coach Dan Mullen.
As shown on the ESPN broadcast, Harbaugh doesn’t stop to exchange any pleasantries or congratulations. Florida players were in front of Mullen celebrating, but by time they met on the field, Harbaugh could have easily stopped for a handshake with Mullen. Instead, he keeps going on the way to the locker room. It looks like there may have been a pat.
It's like Harbaugh couldn't get away fast enough. #GoGators 🐊 pic.twitter.com/2lwJmIiEQy

It’s worth noting that at Friday’s Peach Bowl coaches press conference, Harbaugh and Mullen both expressed admiration for what eachother has accomplished. This also isn’t the first time Harbaugh’s lack of a postgame handshake has gotten noticed.
Salty salty salty
He’s got no class.
loser!
He anxious to get some ointment on his well-kicked @ss.
Got to give it to a Florida they whooped Big Blue. Definitely out coached. Michigan seemed not interested in warmups or the second half like Auburn last year. But the people with no class were the 3 Florida players dancing in front of Mullen heading to Harbaugh. Mullen pushed them out of the way. Harbaugh still should have shook Mullen’s hand.
Maybe none of them were classless? Fans like to throw that word around in SDS but the players were excited and Harbaugh couldn’t get in for the handshake. It’s not really a big deal…
What isn’t going to be skipped though is your excuse of Michigan being not interested….
I was at the game and called that Michigan was going to lose because they didn’t seem intense in warmups and the 2nd half adjustments were outplayed by Mullen. I gave Florida credit and congratulated them on what they did. Shut the heck up Bama fan, no one likes you. You’re an idiot.
Hey Michigan fan on a SEC site below is the quote from your post….
“If Michigan was full strength and wasn’t missing their best 3 players, a DB and an OL, then Michigan would handle Florida with ease”
So take that $hit somewhere else nostradumba$$…
Their starting RB would have ran for more than 68 yards like they had total today. I will debate you in anything related to sports, bring it on. Bama has a dynasty and wins championships, however you realize everyone roots against you except the rest of Bama nation. I’m a Michigan and Vandy fan so my teams always lets me down, I’m use to it, let’s see if Bama let’s you down tonight and Murray lights you up. I’m just hoping for a good game tonight.
What does the Bama game or Vandy have to do with any of this? You have no idea how the game would have turned out much less say it would be an easy win…. From what I seen UM would have needed more than a couple players to get an easy win against UF like you predicted… Numerous teams like LSU and WVU are missing players yet you were here making excuses prior to the game as to why UM is going to lose…. You don’t see a single LSU fan predicting a loss because of players Missing… You say you will debate sports yet you immediately went to personal attacks….
Like I said above… Take that $hit somewhere else nostradumba$$…
Wait. Only Bama fans root for Bama? I never would’ve known that if not for you. I’m just shocked. Shocked, I tell you!
Higdon is good but not making up 26 points alone. Not to mention if UF would of had the 9 players suspended last year who wind?. It was a 9 point game with 4 to play last year.
bingo
This is not the first time Harbaugh acted with little class after a game. He did it at Stanford (to Jimmy Clausen vs ND), he did it at the 49ers (to Bruce Arians and other), and he did it at Michigan to Muschamp when they played South Carolina at last year’s Outback Bowl. Players always celebrate on the field after a game they win and coaches don’t have a problem shaking hands. In fact Harbaugh was in front of Mullen when he walked away. So maybe, sometimes, fans on SDS “through that word around” because it’s true.
Maybe but he wasn’t being classless and neither were the Florida players… You can see in the video he made the attempt and he still managed to pat and say something to Mullen… This is SDS making something out of nothing as usual.
He’s partly right. The Fla. players were acting like idiots especially the one dancing on one leg holding his arms out; but Harbaugh showed no class.
Anyway, it’s always good to see the Big 10 teams get smoked, especially by SEC teams.
SEC! SEC!
I think Harbaugh is a jerk but this is wrong. Watch the video. He sticks his hand out and appears to tap Mullen on the torso. Looked more like the players were in the way for the traditional shake.
It looks like Harbaugh gave Mullens a little pat on the stomach. it’s not a handshake and a quiet word in the ear, but it’s not ignoring Mullens either. If I were Snopes, I’d give this one a ‘Mixture’.
No class.
Nothing wrong with what Harbaugh did here. I’m no fan of his, but he handled this and his post game press conference just fine.
Nothing classless for sure..
Great game Florida
Harbaugh is pissed, I get that but he needs a to show some class
I watched the video several times I still cant see anything wrong. Looks like he stuck his hand out and says congratulations, but Mullen still had his hand on a players shoulders.
something out of nothing. Good job Florida, and Harbaugh didn’t do anything ungentlemanly. It was just a crowded field.
