Detroit Free Press: Rich Rodriguez says comments attributed to him about Morgan Trent are 'absolutely ridiculous'

Michigan football coach Rich Rodriguez told The Detroit Free Press on Saturday that comments attributed to him in a book that includes information about former Michigan cornerback Morgan Trent are "inaccurate and absolutely ridiculous."

The book, "Draft Season: Four Months on the Clock" by Bobby Deren, says Trent slipped to a sixth-round pick in the 2009 NFL draft because Rodriguez "claimed that Morgan was lazy, he had an attitude problem and he was a big reason why the Wolverines finished with a 3-9 record." Trent, the book alleges, learned of what was said through a meeting with former Michigan coach Lloyd Carr.
