Lloyd Carr

Phil Fulmer is the new Lloyd Carr

Well, not really new. They’ve always been the same coach. Recruit well yet still consistently lose to biggest rival. Continually make boneheaded coaching decisions yet somehow win a national championship.
Fulmer went and laid another egg on the West Coast last night. The myth that Fulmer is an elite coach (if it still exists at […]

Be careful what you wish for…A review of Coaching Hires from 2002

I have been as guilty as anyone in getting frustrated with Mack Brown over the course of his 10-year tenure. I’ve even called for his head at several points. I want to say right now that I think those of you who assume we have to resort to a wine-sipping John Mackovic have […]

No Dog In The Fight: How To Choose Sides In A Rivalry Game - Ohio St/Michigan

Nothing arouses passion like the the rivalry game. The backyard brawl, the battle for bragging rights, the border war tussle. Even a fan with no dog in the fight can feel the tension…and their own confusion. Who to pull for? Investing yourself for three hours in a team that is not your own […]

You must be 42 inches tall to ride the Coaching Carousel — that means you, HenryJames

As the college season makes the turn for the home stretch, it is clearly time to start talking about who gets whacked — particularly given this weekend’s Battle of the Buyouts in Lincoln. This year’s coaching carousel seems destined to be as bloody as the last 6 episodes of the Sopranos.

Yeah, I’ll fucking […]

Tommy Bowden talks shit, still sucks

Tommy Bowden was unhappy with the questioning he received after beating Furman last Saturday. Furman actually outplayed Clemson in a couple of areas, and reporters wanted to know what Bowden thought about it.
“We won. That’s not something Lloyd Carr can say,” Bowden said.
Tommy, can you hear me?
You’re 63-38 at Clemson.
Tommy, can you see me?
You’ve lost […]

Games I’ll watch this weekend

Tennessee at Florida
Remember when Phil Fulmer was thought to be a great head coach? He went 45-5 from ‘95-’98 and won a national championship. Rocky Top! He then proceeded to lose 30 games over the next 8 seasons and never won a conference title. His fall from the mountain top made Hank Williams Jr wince. […]

Lloyd Carr give his ‘Checkers’ speech

Michigan coach Lloyd Carr has to be done at the end of the year. Has to be.
How else can one explain his rambling press conference after the loss to Oregon?
Carr’s granddaughter goes to school with some kid named Peter. Carr’s daughter met Peter and asked him how he was doing.
“What I want to know,” Peter […]

Lloyd Carr retirement watch

Las Vegas has the odds at 3-2 for a press conference being scheduled for November 18th. Invitees will include members of the press, Ohio State head coach Jim Tressel and various dual threat quarterbacks.

Hawaii controls the college football universe

When both Michigan and Appalachian St turned down offers to play Hawaii this year, they set in motion events that resulted in the greatest upset in college football history. Or something.
Turns out both teams were scared to play Hawaii if you believe Hawaii AD Herman Frazier. And why were they scared to play Hawaii? June Jones. […]
