If it's been posted and already removed, cave it. If Rome is persona non grata here, cave it. I understand.

Has any coach ever answered that question?

Sounds like a case of butthurt to me whaaaa!

Is one of the most unusual listens you'll ever hear. I gave it a shot back in 2010, and I just didn't understand what the hell was happening. Callers would wait DAYS to get on that station and blurt out some non-senseical Rome-ism and then he'd be booted off the air in like 5 seconds.
It's just a weird show.

He's an aquired taste. I couldn't stand him and then I got it (or I had a stroke) and now he's great. I've maybe listened to 20 min of him in the last 5 years, and was never a 'clone', but his shtick is pretty funny when you get it. Hes a good interviewer.

You listen to Rich Eisen. If you like a total jock-sniffer who acts tough from his bully pulpit, you listen to Rome.

I don't see how this is a bad thing.

"O.K., from a distance Bo comes on like a yahoo. And that's Bo's public image. He has had horrible problems with the press, which has this nasty habit of wanting to talk to him when he loses, his mother's advice notwithstanding. But even if the media's timing were better, it probably wouldn't make much difference, because Bo hates the press. Not just a little. A lot. The Voice of Michigan Football, Bob Ufer, says he has tried to get Schembechler to be nicer to the media. "But he told me," says Ufer, " 'Bob, if I win, I don't need the press, and if I lose, they can't help me.' " Ufer defends Schembechler, whose record at Michigan over 12 years is 114-21-3; Bo's teams have won the Big Ten title twice and tied for it seven times.
Says Ufer, "Bo has two categories of things in his life: what matters and what doesn't matter. What matters is football. What doesn't matter is everything else. Bo is the kind of guy who is so dedicated that he doesn't realize how he's coming off." So while some coaches like to go out and drink with sportswriters, Bo would prefer to break out in warts.
Until a couple of years ago, he would routinely storm out of press conferences, kick reporters out of the sessions ("Don't be offended," says one of Bo's friends. "He'd kick Millie out, too"), make himself unavailable and order his players not to talk. Talking very softly once at a press conference, he was asked to speak up. "I'm speaking as loudly as I can," said Bo softly and arrogantly. And in a memorable set-to on Oct. 1, 1979, Schembechler gave an absolutely unnecessary push to a publicity-seeking college newspaper reporter.
Yet too much is read into all this. As Don Canham, athletic director at Michigan, says, "Bo is oblivious to life."

"If you suspend guys, reporters are going to ask you about it. They’re just doing their job, so you should do yours and answer the question.” So Harbaugh's job is to answer questions from people who he is not required to answer questions from? Rome makes no fucking sense whatsoever. JH's job is to coach the Michigan Football team, not to answer nettling questions from the media.
Harbaugh said that two of the three missing from the photo were suspended and it was an internal matter. The questioning should have stopped there. I would have done the exact same thing. If you warn someone to stop and then let them carry on, then why warn them in the first place?
Rome is an ooh-look-at-me short guy that uses sharp language.

didn't know jim rome was still around....still don't care.

Rome does bring up a valid point. The journalist's job is to ask questions. That doesn't mean that it's always in the coaches best interest to answer them. Making that potential conflict adversarial serves no purpose. What Rome doesn't account for is that the coach's job isn't to answer his questions. Sometimes the coach's job is to protect his players and his program.

I'm a big fan of the Michigan Man Podcast with Mike Fitzpatrick. That is the extent of my "sports talk radio". Jim Rome blows.
