I’m not one of those guys who sits at home and watches sports all day so I only heard this interview today after reading Cowherd’s newest book and having him reference it. I’m a Harbaugh fan and Colin is growing on me. Here’s the interview starting at the best part.
I read in the clip comments that Harbaugh doesn’t like Cowherd but that isn’t what it felt like to me. It was that Harbaugh doesn’t give away information. He’s a head coach and it’s in his nature not to share any part of him that might hurt him in the future. Now maybe I’m completely wrong and he hates Cowherd’s guts but I’m not so sure. Here was the tweet after the interview.
In my experience of participating in interviews, I've found it takes 2 to produce a clunker! I'll take 50% responsibility 4 this clunker.

Bro you’re like four months late on this.
The way Cowherd spun it afterward was that it was a great opportunity for Harbaugh to sell Michigan and the new program / coaching job, which I agree with.
Harbaugh apparently didn’t see it that way. I don’t know what Harbaugh was hoping for, but I think Cowherd asked pretty reasonable questions. If Harbaugh doesn’t want to give away info, he shouldn’t be doing interviews. What could Colin have asked instead?
