Detroitnews.com - Dhani Jones, said Tuesday he is "not cool" with the Wolverines' losing. Jones, appearing on ESPN's "Jim Rome is Burning," was asked by Jim Rome, the show host, about coach Rich Rodriguez going 8-16 his first two seasons. "I'm not cool with that," Jones said, "I'm at my wit's end right now. I mean you can't come in and exclaim that you're going to do all this and then within the first year, terrible, second year, all right, but then terrible. You have to be able to change something. If you're gonna really make a statement, you have to do it within the first two years and this is his third. I need to have a sit down with him," Jones said, smiling.
As much as I love Dhani for being a responsible, well spoken representative of the University of Michigan, I can't really get behind him on this one. C'mon man, just shut the fuck up and play football. Nobody wants to hear Lloyd Carr's cronies hooting and hollering about how good they used to be and how shitty we are now. We know. We were fans back then and we're still fans now, unlike Dhani I guess. Seems to me a Michigan man would support the program in good times and in bad. Because remember, as shady as you think Rich Rod is, it was our program that made the hire. So with this inditement, Dhani is essentially calling out the old A.D., Martin, for bringing him in and current A.D., Brandon, for not firing him before this season.
I guess what really just chaps my ass about this is that everyone knew Rich wasn't getting canned before this third year. So why say anything now? You gotta at least let Rich fall flat on his face with his own recruits before you start talking your shit.
