Comedian Randy Sklar Reveals Jim Harbaugh Reached Out To Him For Jokes To Tell Recruits

University of Michigan Head Coach Jim Harbaugh is not a very funny man, which is probably why he’s outsourcing jokes for his recruits. While on the Big Ten Network’s “On the Bench” podcast, comedian Randy Sklar revealed that Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh reached out to him recently for material to use on recruits.

“He texted me one time and he’s like, ‘You got any good jokes?’ Out of the blue, ‘You got any good jokes,’ he texted me,” Sklar said. “I was like, ‘Yeah, okay.’ I wrote a few jokes and I sent them to him, like just jokes that your dad could tell someone, you know what I mean? Even though he’s like, not that much older than us. I’ve got to do it in a way that he could. And he did, it was so great. He’s like, ‘I’m about to talk to this running back from Cleveland, or Cincinnati from 2022. I’m going to use one of these jokes.’ And he did. It was great.”

You have to  respect Harbaugh’s determination to land the best recruits in the land.

Not sure a great joke will work, but you got to try everything you can when you can’t hand these guys cash anymore.
