Carr's timeline could get interesting
Published 11/15/2007 by Jake at Motown Sports Revival
Thanks to Brian at Mgoblog, we now know that Lloyd Carr’s long-rumored retirement is a full-go. The when, though, is not nearly as certain. Various rumors have Carr retiring anywhere from this Monday to the end of November. While the when might not seem all that “juicy” compared to the news of Carr retiring, it could have a substantial impact on the football program. Most coaching changes involve an athletic director trying to decide exactly when to fire a coach to maximize recruiting efforts (both keeping the current commitments and continuing to recruit ...

I apologize for the lateness of today's link dump, as I was busy earlier this morning... It's official. Lloyd Carr retired as the head coach of the Michigan Wolverines. For only the 2nd time in most of our lives, Michigan will be conducting an all out, nationwide, coaching search. For fans of the Wolverines, this may be the scariest period ever as a fan, thanks to the nagging fear that's in the back of all our minds. A bad hire could send Michigan into the sort of death spiral seen at traditional power schools like Alabama, Nebraska, and Notre Dame. As the last time you could consider the Wolverines mediocre was in the early to ...

Iowa's Kirk Ferentz offered Michigan job?

I've sat on this a couple days waiting for some third-party corroboration and now I have it: Kirk Ferentz has been offered the Michigan job.
