Agreed. It was an awkward interview and Jim is NOT a BSer like the Caliparis and Pitinos of the world. He's a straight shooter who doesn't blow smoke in interviews, unless it's something he really wants to talk about, like an old Bo story, or something about his family. Not those stupid bye/buy questions or telling Cowherd when he's not intense. Cowherd asked lazy questions and wants his guests to do most of the talking, and Harbaugh isn't the most talkative guy. The day after the interview Cowherd said he got emails from a bunch of people who know Harbaugh and they basically all said "yeah, that's just the kind of guy he is"
He should have just not done the interview, but this didn't hurt anything. I'd be willing to bet that zero of his potential recruits were listening to sports talk radio in the middle of the day in the summer, he would have been selling the program to a bunch of middle aged dudes who listen at work.
And this is the same Cowherd that slammed the Michigan fanbase and called them "Kooky Madooky" and delusional for thinking they'd ever land Harbaugh as their coach.
