Jim Harbaugh on the Mitch Albom Show

Submitted by The Mad Hatter on

Coach Harbaugh was on the Mitch Albom Show yesterday for an interview, which apparently went pretty well.  I can't find a link to the podcast, but MLive has a summary and some quotes.

Harbaugh on Bo Schembechler: "I'm living about five houses from him, where he lived in Ann Arbor. There's probably not a day that goes by where I'm going into work and I say 'Bo probably made his left (here or right there).' ... You're always reminded of his work ethic and his love for football and coaching at the University of Michigan."

"He molded your DNA. He's got a way, like a raw iron that they put into one of those ovens. He can mold it, twist it. ... He had a will, an iron will that molded men and I'm fortunate to be one of the thousands who benefitted from his teaching."

Why is he a "fucking moron" for taking property damage seriously? Umm, I do too, as does the United States legal system, generally speaking. I don't get what you're trying to imply with the "except when it does" portion, either. Really strange, ambiguous, hostile comment there.

you have to give him credit for knowing how to interview people. And, of course, it helps if you've known a guy professionally since his days in college and his favorite coach. That, of course, changes the tenor and nature of the interview to begin with. However, the questions Albom asked Harbaugh were questios all Michigan fans want asked, not the dumbass touchy, feely crap that Cowherd offered as a way to inveigle a sense of intimacy with his subject. 

Again, Albom is a journalist and not just a talk show host, author and playwright. Plus Albom knows Michigan sports inside and out. That was a great interview. And in the end, you get an engaged Harbaugh wanting to hear sound bites from everybody's all-time favorite baseball announcer and legend.
