Lol he is funny or full of him self
I don't think he ever said that Harbaugh needs his SHOW, its just that other coaches like Urban Meyer whom Harbaugh IS competing with for recruits have managed to appear on the show and give a good interview without coming off like an a*****e or a space cadet.
Pointless statement! In your opinion Harbaugh came off like an A$$... Many people believe he answered the questions fine and Colin was the d*ck.
Next, this interview has such little importance when it comes to actual recruiting I'm surprised you mention it as the facts detract from your point.
Maybe you should check out all the recruits Harbaugh has brought in through his camps this summer. Or how those recruits are amazed by Jim Harbaughs passion... Or maybe how he is winning over parents, recruits, and high school coaches with lightning speed...

Or how unsuccessful he has been at getting recruits to commit.

Exposure and marketing your program are part of the package when coaching at a traditional college football powerhouse. Not sure why guys like Saban, Meyer and many others seem to handle media probing and adversity just fine and Harbaugh acts like he's an 8 year old.
Yup, and Harbaugh's exposure and marketing this season have been outstanding, no... Elite... The biggest story of the offseason should be OSU's QB competition. Doesn't even register on the Rickter Scale that is Harbaugh...

8 year old
. 8 year olds blabber and blabber, I will take a coach that acts like a man, a coach who keeps his thoughts close to his vest. Not a little B who sings to the media's delight. I am a Bill Belichick guy, you are a Pete Carrol guy.
As Fropwns said, this isn't the 1950's anymore, if you want to coach, part of the gig is handling the media and being able to positively represent your program across all mediums.
Yup, and that's why Harbaugh does interviews. Too bad this statement is way out of context. You act like media relations is a necessity and a vital part of success. I call BS, winning is all that matters. If media relations were so important UM would have never hired Harbaugh. But they were all in because they want to win. If Harbaugh won the SB, he would be locked in SF. Harbaugh is the giant killer of college football and Urban Meyer is next... He is not set to over take OSU this year, but he will... Prob sooner then later...
