Also, how beautiful is it that they hired a guy that actually requires a "wrangler"?

I mean if you have to actually employ somebody to make sure your head football coach doesn't totally embarrass himself/your university, chances are things could go pretty poorly at some point down the road. It takes a special kind of looney-toon to be 52 years old and require a watch dog.

Urban Meyer is well known to be a pretty intense, demanding individual. But at least you don't have to worry about him foaming at the mouth during a superfluous interview with an e!spn talking head.

They'd be a lot cooler if they had hired this guy.



Should Harbaugh be known as TLUN: That Lunatic Up North?

The hiring of David Shaw(Stanford) would really have scared me.
But, for all his flaws, Harbaugh is a very good coach and will make them better.

Harbaugh is a good coach, but what does he have to work with, and I don't see him bringing in talent to make them better the way that Franklin is doing. If you could combine Harbaugh's coaching with Franklin's recruiting, I would be worried. Alone, each of them is only half a program. The fundamental question that I'm asking if I'm the TSUN Prez is what happens after TLUN either a) flames out in a nationally embarrassing Woody manner and they have to whack him or b) bolts back to the NFL after three years when his dysfunctional ego can't deal with fighting Franklin for third place in the East every year. Anytime between this afternoon and four years from now, this is going to Ann Arbor.

I believe they are in "what happens if we don't succeed? We MUST succeed" mode with Harbaugh.

That interview was unreal. WTF was he thinking? He was so defensive right off the bat. I am not a Cowherd fan because he used to trash the B1G and tOSU, but damn he couldn't have thrown him softer balls to knock out of the park and Harbraugh just came off like a total tool shed.

I'm actually one of the few Buckeye fans that likes Cowherd. He's a schtick, and a character and I look at him no different than a Bill Cunnigham, Sean Hannity, Bill O Reilly, Al Sharpton, Howard Stern, etc, he just uses sports instead of politics to make headlines. He, Skip Bayless and Steven A. Smith are cut from the same cloth, and they're amusing and can't be taken seriously. But Cowherd was lofting him some easy questions and he came off as a douche, aloof, full of himself and high. Like Cowherd said, he wanted him to sell himself and the program, at last play along with the show, and Harbrau couldn't even do that right. And this ladies and gentlemen is why Stanford had no problem with him leaving, and he took San Fran to the Super Bowl and they tried to freaking trade him! Has that EVER happened to any team coach before? You take a team to the highest stage, and your front office doesn't want you back!:slappy:

Agree. I can take him in small doses. I wouldn't put him in the same category as Bayless, however.

The gulf between Bayless and Cowherd is enormous. Cowherd openly states on many a show that he gauges ratings to help with topics and takes interesting "stands" because of the interest it generates. But while he throws out strawmen from time to time, he generally believes in his main point. Also, he's openly not a hard hitting journalist as others fill that role and so frequently asks the kinds of questions JH got. They aren't questions that are going to help someone learn about a sport or technique - more so about the person being interviewed. I'm light of that, I don't guess it's a surprise that JH didn't excel in such an interview since his personality is to not have a personality.
