A former quarterback for the Wolverines under Bo Schembechler, Coach Harbaugh is known for not having a very good poker face. The following images display just the tip of his emotional iceberg and allow a fantastic body language tutorial (Thanks coach). In image above, Harbaugh displays significant Anger - (bordering on Rage) - with Frustration (Specifically what signals the frustration?)
Of particular note is his extreme Jaw Jut, Squared-off mouth opening, baring of his bottom teeth, with both tense eyelids along with significant mid-face tension.
Apprehension
Contempt (here coupled with the F-bomb - which of course is a very common combination)
Extreme Disgust
Dominant Spider hand configuration
A high alpha gesture (at this moment somewhat less so, since it is directed away from to whomever he is speaking)
Fear
- Eyelids tense and wide
(here mild to moderately
opened)
- Mouth corners pulled laterally
and down
- Mid-face tension
- Tightened neck muscles
Inward Lip Roll (ILR):
Seen suppressing emotions when they are far from baseline
Can be positive or negative emotions
What emotion is the Coach suppressing here?
Puffer Fish
Seen just before or just more commonly immediately after a significantly stressful event (It can lower the heart rate, blood pressure and respiration and thus has a calming effect)
Rage (sever anger) with
widely open Eyelids (with a mild-moderate jaw jut)
Critical evaluation with significant worry and some empathy
Sincere smile:
- Relaxed forehead
- Only upper Teeth Showing
- Cheeks vectored primarily
upwards
- Eyelids partially closed
- Dynamic Concave-up Furrow in
lower eyelids
