Not Carr
Filed under:
Lloyd Carr has no interest in the athletic director job:
Former Michigan football coach Lloyd Carr said Wednesday he is not interested in replacing Bill Martin as athletic director.
"I am not a candidate," Carr said.
As per usual, he had no other comment except the boilerplate bits you can find in the diaries.

More worried about Brandon
More worried about Brandon
Brandon was making a lot of phone calls to donors and Regents in late 2007 and U-M's behind the scenes interest in Les Miles seemed to go downhill at about the same time. That's the sort of manipulator with a hidden agenda we don't need.

Why is this even a rumor?
Lloyd represented the University well enough as a coach, but honestly, wasn't the football program running on fumes the last couple of years of the Carr regime? How would he have the energy to be an AD?

David Brandon

I wouldn't have a problem with David Brandon as A.D. - he's a former Bo player, he's a former member of the board of regents, and he's the president of a national pizza chain. In other words - he's got strong UM loyalties and connections, he understands "Michigan," he's got university administrative knowledge, and he knows how to run a business. Isn't this basically the guy you want, hands down?

I am glad that LC put to rest his interest in the AD position, but it would have been fun to watch the meltdown of the LC haters if LC had said "Hmm, the AD job is available, huh!"
