The success Jim has had in cleaning the program, is less about disicplinary action, and more about the type of person he recruits.

How are these JT's fault?

SNIPER26;1242905; said:Um, as a coach you're kind of expected to have some sort of control over your players. If Michigan had had 30+ players in trouble in that time span, you better believe you'd be mocking the [censored] out of them. It's never the coach who actually commits the actions, however, he is held responsible by the general public for his players' actions. You're really eager to lay blame on Rich Rodriguez for the actions of the artist formerly known as Pacman Jones, Chris Henry, and Pat Lazear, amongst others. How come it doesn't work both ways?
