Colin Cowherd hung up on Jim Harbaugh during awkward interview

Jim Harbaugh appeared on ESPN radio Wednesday. Host Colin Cowherd tried to ask Harbaugh normal human questions, kind of. But Harbaugh is not a normal human.

Harbaugh answered Cowherd’s first four questions with some form of “I don’t know” or “I would agree” and refused to play radio games (“I’m a 4.3 wide receiver, why should I play at Michigan? “You are?”).

Then things got awkward, causing Cowherd to end the interview and suggest recruits might want to head elsewhere.

Transcript of the end, via Coaching Search:

Jim Harbaugh: “This feels like one of those where you ask 50 questions.”

Colin Cowherd: “You’re not giving me a ton to work with, Coach. I just want to find out about Jim Harbaugh the human being. I’m a player right now, and I want to play for a bunch of schools. I’m listening to Jim Harbaugh. I want to play for Jim. I want Jim Harbaugh, the guy. I bring all these coaches on, and I want the guy. If I was a wide receiver. Why should I play at Michigan?”

Silence

CC: “This seems terribly difficult, Jim. This is just not working. I love you to death. I really do. But it seems like we’re going nowhere with this. And I love you. I’m a huge Harbaugh fan.”

JH: “What can I do to make your interview better?”

CC: “I’m just asking open-ended questions, and you have not much to say. I want you to sell your program. That’s why I bring Urban on and I bring Sark. I love you guys. I want you to sell your program.”

Silence

CC: “Listen, I love ya. It’s not working. I appreciate you stopping by, Jim Harbaugh.”
