Rodriguez: "You know we haven’t discussed the #1 jersey in about, I guess, almost two years now. I think the last time that was brought up was probably the last time it was discussed. It’s not retired but I guess it’s semi-retired at the moment."
He chuckled in the middle of that as well. Clearly there are no plans for the numero uno to appear in Ann Arbor any time soon.
My take? He said basically the opposite of what I was hoping for. I was hoping this was at least on the coaches mind, something they evaluate every season, and that there were a couple guys in "the running". Oh well. I do understand Rich Rod wanting to steer clear of it given what happened the first go round.
