This is great, but isn't it kind of depressing that Harbaugh grants about five minutes of boilerplate interviews for Inside Michigan Football, yet will put up an hour-long podcast covering some of the very same things he'd talk about there?
Makes me wish RR hadn't blown up the coach's show and set a precedent for everyone that followed.

Need to get Judge Judy on Inside Michigan Football

I just view it as a different medium for a different time.
M Replay and Inside Michigan Football had their times when that was the best way to get the message out to the most people. The Podcast format is more flexible and lets them do what they want to do.
I find myself marveling at who JT Rogan is and how good a dude he must be to have worked his way into the Harbaugh circle like he has. It is obvious from the podcasts that the family loves him.

Honestly, the podcast seems more a Jack Harbaugh thing than a Jim thing. Jim drops by and talks mostly non-football stuff with his dad and lets his dad take the lead most weeks telling stories from his coaching career. This episode and the post Florida one were really the only ones where he talked about the game at any length.

with his Dad and a Trusted Friend and Agent in JT Rogan. I would agree that I wish he would show a little more of this side in his public interviews. His quirky personality can be endearing.

But it's not like he hasn't known Brandy for over 30 years--no more Known Friend and Trusted Agent than Jim freaking Brandstatter. Harbaugh is straight-up weird on Inside Michigan Football, and most media interviews, for that matter.

I get that he's having fun doing all of this but I wasn't that into it with the first fefw episodes. There wasn't a lot about the game recently played and to hear a lot of kid stories wasn't what I was looking for.
Its cool to hear a different side of him, but after a few I felt like it was enough and I got it.

Listened to the first few, then unsubscribed. Listening to Jack Harbaugh tell old stories is an ok shtick for a bit, but it isn't really a sustainable basis for an ongoing, interesting podcast.

the podcast is not for you. I enjoy it because it gives insight to how Harbaugh ticks, and it provides interesting historical tidbits and side stories.

I loved this podcast. The discussion about the game, the OL, and the mindset of the team was great! Jack Harbaugh is a real gem.

I loved how excited Jim and Jack were to talk to Judge Judy. You could hear the unbridled enthusiasm in their voices.
October 31st, 2017 at 6:03 PM ^
Am I the only one who found it a little weird that Jim watches Judge Judy on DVR every night and that Jack doesn't come to 4:00 PM practices because he doesn't want to miss Judge Judy?
It was also a little amusing that Judge Judy didn't seem to know as much about the Harbaughs as the Harbaughs know about Judge Judy, and that she confused Jim with John.

I mean, yes, the Harbaughs are weird. But the good kind of weird (think mad scientist).
See also Man of the Crowd, a Baltimore Ravens podcast focused on John Harbaugh and the Harbaugh family as a whole. Emphasizes the weirdness from a non-UM perspective.
