But saw this tweet:
"If I'm an 18-year-old kid and I just heard Jim Harbaugh on this show, I'd go with Urban Meyer." -- @ESPN_Colin

And I'm glad I didn't listen to the garbage that is Cowherd. A pathetic turd.

Since Michigan has gotten Harbaugh he's done nothing but talk up the Big Ten and Harbaugh for the coming years. Quit spewing crap if you don't listen to the show.
I love when people start a comment with "wrong" lol
The only thing that's "not Cowherd's fault" is that Jim Harbaugh doesn't suffer fools very well.

He has done both... .I don't think the prior poster is wrong either
BTW, the link to the interview

Anyone who listens to that show on a regular basis needs to sit the next couple plays out.
I was on the road in CA last November and he stated that Harbaugh would never coach at Michigan. He said back then the next Michigan coach would not be Harbaugh but once Michigan fans found out they would be very pleased with the selection. Yeah, we did get Harbaugh and we are very pleased, and you were so wrong!
I'm telling you, Harbaugh is a socia media genius. Whether it's taking off his shirt or trolling that OSU assistant coach, he finds a way to stay in the news. What's the better way to attract attention, by kissing up to a blowhard radio host or giving him the worst interview ever? Harbaugh wins again.
Agreed. I just kept on thinking about how Jim was trolling Cowherd. Loved every second of it.
A rare post from you and it's to defend Cowherd. It's obvious from your history you're a troll.
Dude pops viagra for the PAC12.
how entertaining the offseason can be.
From all OSU fans,
Thanks Jim.
When Coward kept saying "I'm a 4-3 WR, sell me on Michigan" I was waiting for JH to come back "Gee Colin, I don't know if we have a need for a 4 foot 3 receiver!"
that "dissing and pissing off" a well-known host on national radio was a wise move?
If this was intentional then I find it even more amusing.
I'm not quite sure the "any press is good press" cliche rings true here...

he knows what Cowherd meant
Thought Harbaugh was awesome! Cowherd kept fishing and fishing and Harbaugh was like, nope, not even going to pretend to like you!
I believe that was actually Danny Kannell's tweet which is being attributed to Cowherd here, so there's that, but the larger point here is that the statement is a ridiculous one. Cowherd really is - at his core - a pretty lazy troll, so the questions were of the requisite quality. I wish someone would ask more thoughtful questions honestly - I felt bad for Harbaugh.
never sounds great when he's interviewed. It doesn't matter whether its local or national media talking to him, because he knows whatever answers he gives will be reinterpreted for whatever purpose that he can't control. How many profiles have you read or how many times have you seen him in interview situations where he focuses keenly on what is being asked and then gives a measured response. He is rarely glib and sometimes short if he feels his time is being wasted.
I think he was on guard in this particular interview and telephone interviews are rarely opportunities for vibing with the host unless they enjoy each and find a mutual topic of interest. Cowherd's questions failed to elicit great observations because they were boring, questions that Harbaugh has already answered a million times. What was the first thing you wanted to change at Michigan? What's the hourly difference in coaching in the pros and college? When do you put in a gameplan for your first game? Really. Did we tune in to hear Harbaugh give us a compelling answer to those dynamic questions?
And what's more, he confused Harbaugh with his "buy" question which I couldn't even figure out, and that seemed to put the coach on higher alert than he was starting off.
Now if you want to see and hear an engaged Harbaugh, check out his Detroit News interview on Tuesday surrounding his first-pitch appearance at the Tigers game where he offered a couple of stories about going to a baseball game at Miller Park in Milwaukee where Brad Ausmus tossed a game ball to his dad or practicing the Charlie Lau hitting approach while at Stanford with the school's baseball coach. Those are fun stories and they came as a result of some simple media questions that got Harbaugh excited to share, whcih the guy legitimately does every chance he gets.
I was thinking the same thing that Harbaugh was on that question....that playing a B16 team is like having a bye. I have never watched Cowherd before and will try my best to avoid ever watching him again.

took over for Tony Kornheiser, I quit listening to that show, period.
Cowherd wanted no part of Harbaugh, he sabatoged that interview on purpose right from the beggining

He's like that on some radio interviews. He was on one shortly after his hire (maybe Rich Eisen) and it was just brutal, despite the home-field atmosphere. My attitude: who cares.
Just listened to it. I didn't see it that way either. The problem is Cowherd thinks Jim needs him and his show and it shows in this interview. He mentions that he's trying to "help" Harbaugh by letting him sell Michigan on the air...Jim has been selling Michigan by his actions from day 1. He is not a words guy. Every interview is like this with Harbaugh. I don't know why anyone would expect anything different. I just don't get it.
My thoughts exactly. He just hates talking to the media and I don't blame him.
If Cowherd was a Harbs fan why didn't he end that interview with some class instead of being a giant baby! Really Colin, "I'm trying to get you to sell Michigan"! Harbs was selling Michigan- no BS! What was he supposed to say? "Come to Michigan kids!"
Just Cowturd doing his thing.
I was waiting for Jimmy to go full Bryce Harper...These are clown questions, Bro.

That takes nothing away from him as a coach obviously, but although I and most people aren't Cowherd fans, this is far from the first time that Harbaugh seems on another planet from his interviewer. I think Harbaugh lives in his own world and can't even relate to some of the media questions he gets.
