Frankly, I liked what Buddy Ryan used to do as the HC of thge Eagles and the Cardinals. Win, lose or draw, Ryan just jogged off the field at the end. He didn't go to shake hands or wave at the other guy or flip him the bird or anything. He just put his head down and jogged to the locker room.

At that point in the day, his job was done. It was "Miller Time". All the "ceremony" of a handshake and that kind of stuff is forced most of the time so he just ignored it. And he ignored it with EVERYONE in EVERY CIRCUMSTANCE.

If all coaches did that, we wouldn't have these kinds of threads... All by itself, that would be a benefit for maknkind.
