I read the transcript of the interview. If you agree to do an interview you should do your best to work with the interviewer. Maybe there was a lack of preparation on both sides?

I listen to some radio interviews and I can tell when the person being interviewed has been informed as to what questions to expect. Maybe that's what should've happened here. Everyone's not equipped to answer questions off the cuff.

The questions were terrible, but any other coach would have spun them into publicity for their program. Harbaugh just doesn't have enough shits given to try to make it a good interview.

How were they horrible? I don't think it was ever intended to be some deep, hard hitting from all angles interview. And it's not like Cowherd had any opportunity to take it in an interesting direction. Harbaugh gave him NOTHING to work with.

I think it was more Harbaugh and his weirdo personality.

The irony of all of this that isn't being mentioned enough is that Cowherd has been a vocal Harbaugh supporter up until this point and he always defended him during the 49ers drama (which now makes a lot more sense than it did back then). Harbaugh was clearly ignorant to that fact, otherwise he may have treated the interview differently.

Instead, he chose to be the window-licker that he is from a social perspective.

The wording of them. Colin doesn't just ask a question. He tries to be all quirky and it annoys some people. If I had to guess, I'd say Harbaugh was caught off guard like "damn, this guy is a douchebag." He doesn't know how to handle those situations, so we get awkward jokes and a pissed off Cowherd.

That's interesting. He definitely does seem to suffer from an inability to identify social cues. Maybe that's how he wears people out so quickly wherever he goes. He has no idea of when to ease off the pedal and give everyone a break.

@ProFootballTalk: RT @CoachJim4UM: 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.

Probably the best way to put it. Hell Urban is a dick too. Most coaches are because they are egotiscal, but Harbaugh just likes laughing at and embarrassing people to make himself feel superior. Definition of an asshat.

We knew Harbaugh wasn't going to apologize. Nice to see he didn't disappoint.

Yeah didn't he tell the 49ers CEO he wasn't allowed in a meeting because it was for "men only?" I would've fired his arse too.

Harbaugh is always a dick during pressers because he's forced to do it. This was voluntary, which is way way worse.

frick our FO for replacing him with Ron Jeremy but the man clearly has issues.

Hate to paint a guy after 5 minutes, but it makes a lot of sense now why San Fran had enough of him despite winning as much as he did. Jesus Harbaugh sounded like he didn't even want to get off the couch.

I couldn't stand listening to him for 5 minutes let alone for four years.
