Official Lloyd Carr Death Watch Thread

OK JDV.

 

And New Hampshire kicked the shit out of Northwestern last year. Wasn't even fucking close. But, whatever.

 

Not arguing that. And all of the little fanboys on Any Given Saturday creamed themselves over that. But Northwestern ain't Michigan, no matter how much the Wolverines suck this year.

 

Egod. You made me remember the single worst quarterback in Michigan history. Thanks.

Fat Charlie 0-3, and counting.

Sweeeeti.

 

A few feet away, a Michigan chaperone was trying to pry those recruits up the tunnel, out of the stadium and far away from all the Northwest propaganda. But the recruits didn't budge. They just stood, watching Oregon dance and listening to Stewart. And what did they think?

Said Hoseay: "I want to go to Oregon."

The other two recruits nodded.

Then Mason said he was considering more than stadium size and program history. Baker said he couldn't remember Michigan losing that badly. And then Timothy Hopkins, their high school coach who drove them the 45 miles from suburban Detroit to Ann Arbor for the visit, jotted down his telephone number and handed it to someone in lightning yellow and said, "Call me. I got players."

Oregon's victory came in too many ways to count Saturday.

Dixon finally won a big road game. Defensive coordinator Nick Aliotti, whose defense had given up 27 or more points in five consecutive games, coached a defense that held Michigan to a single touchdown. Oregon, which had lost its past three nationally televised games by a combined score of 103-38, turned Michigan's season into a pinata.

But all that looked stump ugly next to those recruits.

There was no facet of Oregon's victory more integral to the future of the program than the look on the faces of those three Wolverines recruits as they wondered what it would be like to wear a Ducks uniform. Hoseay even looked down at his necklace and, eek, said, "They didn't even spell my name right."

How long before Bo walks out of his grave, takes a nutty and grabs Lloyd by the throat?

 

Carr wasn't on the staff during the years Michigan ran the option heavily, in the 1970s, and Carr coached on the defensive side of the ball before becoming HC in '95. He was a secondary coach, then defensive coordinator. I believe he hired on with Michigan in 1980.

 

Michigan needs to realize the period of mourning Bo is over. It's football season boys. You can win a game now.

Musberger and Herbstreit were speculating that Les Miles is a goner at LSU if Michigan comes calling. I think Carr will step down after the season and Miles will go north. But I've got to think the short list for LSU will be very short. Preq: have won a national title. That said I can only think of two who might be in Baton Rouge next year. Dennis Erickson and (a stretch admittedly, Terry Bowden).

 

Terry Bowden?

His undefeated season was a probation season, with Pat Dye's players.

 

The LSU people who want Les Miles to leave (and there are a lot of them) are idiots.

 

Nick Saban ain't walking through that door ...
