John Harbaugh had an uncomfortable exchange with NBC reporter Melissa Stark on Sunday night.
After the first quarter of the Bengals-Ravens playoff game, Stark interviewed Harbaugh, who seemed extremely annoyed by Stark’s questions.

Fans felt Harbaugh was being rude to Stark during the interview and blasted him for it.
I like John Harbaugh as a coach, but he sure was a jerk to Melissa Stark on that interview.

John Harbaugh was an absolute dick to Melissa Stark. When asked about his strategy he responded (very condescendingly) with: "We'll just see how the game goes, ok!?"
What an asshole. She is doing her job as a sideline reporter.

The most unlikeable organization in the league and it’s not even close https://t.co/B7nCzcaYtp

Others felt that the sideline interviews are pointless and need to go.
People are going to dump on Harbaugh for being short with Melissa Stark in that interview.
Screw that. Those in-game interviews are pointless. It's not enough coaches have to talk at the half (and say nothing), but now at the end of a quarter, too? Let 'em do their jobs.

These mid-game interviews are ridiculous man lol. I don’t even like Harbaugh but he’s completely in the right to be pissed off at that Huntley question to start the second quarter. Sideline reporters do too much 🤷🏼♂️
