Worst interview ever? Harbaugh interviewed by Cowherd

[Fingolfin269]

Seems like these guys are polar ends of the spectrum in terms of being talkative. Cowherd definitely likes to talk but Harbaugh basically comes across like he either wasn't paying attention at all or has absolutely no business ever doing public interviews.

If this is the limit of Harbaugh's charismatic ability then I don't see how he ever closes a deal in any college recruit's living room. Hopefully (for Michigan fan) this was just a bust interview that Harbaugh never should have taken.

heard it on the radio earlier. was awkward as hell lol.

i can't believe cowherd was trying to make the point that he's trying to help recruit people to michigan in the interview. nobody who was listening to his show is on the fence about going to michigan to play football. the people who are interested in going to michigan already know who they are. such a stupid point to bring up.

they are both huge douche bags either way though. can't stand either of them.

Omg so painful.

Harbaugh was awful, but Cowherd was acting like it was lightning round or something. And the bye/buy thing confused me too at first.

Pure Michigan. :biggrin:

I heard it when it aired. It was gloriously bad. So bad I have to wonder if it was set up.
It reminds me of Charles Grodin as a guest on David Letterman. Same tension, but Grodin could put a sentence together.



Harbaugh took every word literally, like a hypothetical situation was a foreign concept.
Yea, Cowherd could have slowed down and reset things. It was off the rails from the start but the buy/bye thing just nuked it entirely.

Why does streaming on ESPN suck?

Cowherd gave Harbaugh the chance to look like the biggest idiot on Earth and Hambaugh took the bait.

I guess it's a step up from this guy.
