ESPN video of Harbaugh preparing Jameis Winston for NFL Draft interview
ESPN has a video preview of Jim Harbaugh prepping Jameis Winston for their Draft Academy series airing tonight on ESPN. I think this is from when he and Bryce Petty came to Ann Arbor earlier this year. Not much in it, but I had a hard time to keep from laughing watching it, especially when Jedd Fisch brings up the snow crabs. There is going to be a lot of Harbaugh on TV tonight between this and the HBO Real Sports profile.

Harbaugh's reaction to Jameis stealing crab legs is priceless.
".......you stole crab legs.......0_o......"

"Snow crabs?" [bewildered look]
It looks like he's immediately reconsidering his impression of Winston. Definitely looks like he's thinking "Wait. What the hell is wrong with this guy"
He's clearly thinking why the hell did I agree to coach this asshole up? Yelling obscenities in the library, ok. Assault rifle... eeeh ok. Stole crabs?? GTFO.
Jed's grin when he's talking about the crab legs is priceless.
I like Jedd and his brunt personality. Everything I've seen from interviews makes it seem likes he's a straight shooter. Now I have no idea how good of a coach he is, but he's had a lot of them even at the highest level.
I just wonder how long he is going to stay around. I would think that it has the potential to hurt WR recruiting, knowing that Jedd has never stayed in one place for too long. I seem to remember even Brian mentioning that this is likely a stepping stone for Jedd during the coaching interview. Because damn... we need some quality WRs to get on board.
What about coaching the ones we already have to become great?
I would love for our WRs to become great. But I would think that would be harder to do with a coaching carousel. Additionally, I feel like WR is one of those positions where a kid can just have "it" and you know that their skills will likely transition well to the college game. Think Treadwell, Speedy Noil, Diggs... all kids that you could tell would likely be very good in College.
With the current coaching staff and scheme, a few WR's will emerge. Remember how excited we all were while Hoke was recruiting all of these kids? They're still the same guys. They just need a good scheme to play in and coaches who can help them develop. They now have both. The WR position will be just fine.
I like him too. He seems bright and articulate, which you'd expect from a guy who managed to rise through the coaching ranks despite never being a college player. Let's hope his coaching matches his talking.
Former UM WR coach Erik Campbell is on the staff and he coached a 1,000 yard receiver at Michigan for eight straight years (1998 to 2005) and had 12 WRs go to the NFL. I thought he was one of the position coaches Rodriguez should have kept when he came onboard in Ann Arbor back in 2008.
So if Fisch does move on, I think there's a great replacement just a stone's throw away.
I liked that Fisch called Jameis out about leaving out the crab legs. I also liked that Harbaugh seemingly had no idea what anyone was talking about. "You did what now?"
I also wonder if there was a discussion amongst the producers and Winston's agent about leaving out the whole rape thing. If someone asks me if I've had any run ins with the cops, you'd think that would be the first thing that comes to mind. Not some BB gun incident.
There is no way that question get's asked and you forget about the "accused" rape incident. All politics asside, that would be an event that I would NEVER forget if I were a kid.

How could anyone not want to play for this guy?
Ask that butt cavern Alex Boone.
I suppose some people could theoretically hate winning all the time.
This goes against everything I believe in. Next you'll tell me that the Statue of Liberty is fucking French or something.
It's not like its a dark secret, I know when I was in school it was part of my history classes.
I guess this answers the dumb question in that one "what they really wanted to say" Diary about whether or not Harbaugh uses foul language.
Jedd Fisch's shiteating grin just made my day.
"The elephant in the room is the snow crabs." With the close up of Harbaugh and the question about the crabs, that segment is pure Christopher Guest/Michael McKean.
Rape is the biggest elephant.
That's probably more of a wooly mammoth in the room. They seemed to not want to touch that one.
Mastadon of some variety maybe?
Also, I'm sure his attorneys said it's off limits knowing a civil suit is coming.

In a bed. In my head. Wearing red. Getting fed.
Not wearing Red....only Blue....or Maize, too.
Even in red . . . I like Jed. But yea totally, Blue would be preferable.
Since I believe there is still pending legal action against Winston over the rape thing I don't think there is any way they can talk about it on TV.
He laughed at his high school coach when the guy was crying? Context is certainly needed, but Winston just seems to have this history of bad decisions. Lots of big personalities do (tend to have fireworks both good and bad, whether they were a winner or not dictates which comes to light), I understand that, but the question of whether this guy is an asshole or not is totally unclear to me.
He was an asshole in high school. Laughing at someone when they cry = asshole. I'm an asshole so I know.
Right, I'm assuming 9 times out of 10 I'd agree. But if the coach was crying because his car got a little scratch on it or something similarly stupid/mundane on the coach's part, I'm going to cut the kid some slack.
Jemeis probably scratched his car. What if it was a brand new 100,000 dollar sports car!? I'd cry over that!
"If you don't want to talk about it, just say I fucked up. Fucked up and learned from it."
The "I just want to know if you're an asshole" part was hilarious as well.
Personally, it doesn't bother me or surprise me when a coach curses but his language seemed unnecessarily salty.
Wish he wouldn't do that on national "tv".
It's on ESPN right now...
I thought Harbaugh looked good; authoritative and passionate.
Winston would scare the shit out of me if I had him high on my board. He seems incapable of honesty.

That interiew is solid gold. I love the Winston tries to tell them they were gifted to him.

Why is "hole" censored but not "ass"? Shouldn't that be the other way around?
