Former Michigan wide receiver and Super Bowl XLII champion Amani Toomer likened Jim Harbaugh to Paris Hilton while airing his grievances against the Wolverines head coach Thursday.

Toomer, who played for the Wolverines from 1992-95, is particularly unimpressed with Harbaugh's 1-5 record against Ohio State and Michigan State through his first three seasons at Michigan.

"To me, that's not a supermodel, that's Paris Hilton," Toomer said during an appearance on 97.1 The Ticket's "Jamie and Stoney Show." "That's somebody who's given us nothing - but 'Oh, we're going to Rome. Oh, we wear Michael Jordan shoes.' I don't care! I want to beat Michigan State, I want to beat Ohio State. That's the passion that I have for the program."

While Toomer doesn't think Harbaugh should be fired, he would like to see more accountability.

"I'm just upset that people aren't holding his feet to the fire more because his name is Harbaugh," Toomer said. "If his name was (Brady) Hoke, if his name was Rich (Rodriguez), if his name was Gary Moeller, they would be upset. And we weren't as bad as he is!"
