There's a new head man in Ann Arbor, MI. No, Dick Rod is still at the Big House and although they may long for the Steve Fisher cheating days, John Beilein is very secure at Crisler Arena. But there is a new man in charge of both Dick Rod and Beilein in newly named UM Athletic Director David Brandon.
Brandon himself is a "Michigan Man" to the core and played for coach Bo in the early 70's. For the past 10 years he has been banking the "dough" as Chairman and CEO of Ann Arbor based Domino's Pizza. He has been a jester on The Burger King's Court (board) and has even had political aspirations wanting to run for Governor of Michigan.
Instead he'll be in charge of running Dick Rod out of town after another crushing football loss to the Buckeyes in late November or 2010. He'll have the burden of finding the next Bo and try to put the pieces back together of a once strong and proud program. Why would this guy want to do this?
I know I know he is proud to be a "Michigan Man" but this guy seriously bothers me. Why leave $3.2 million and your ivory pizza towers (which in Michigan's strong economy would make him the equivalent of Bill Gates), for around $600,000 and the uprising of thoughtless morons blaming you for things that arn't your fault? Instead of pushing out deals on cheap cardboard pizzas and swimming in your pool of gold coins, you subject yourself to a continual beatdown from an anassuming guy in a sweater vest? Well, I guess the guy is a "Michigan Man" right?
Good luck in Ann Arbor guy...
