Lloyd Carr

Being a college football coach seems very stressful. I'm kinda surprised all these guys don't look older than their age. But Pete Carroll really makes that theory look pretty dumb. 

His wife died suddenly in 2020, I imagine that alone ages you several years let alone everything with Chad and, oh, leading an elite college football team for over a decade

He lived here in Greenville, SC for a number of years.  It was across the street from my daughter-in-law's parents house.  He said he was there to be near a daughter.  Always cheerful and always thrilled by our "Go Blue"s.

In a recent interview, Lloyd didn't seem too thrilled that CJ is going there, but stressed that it was CJ's decision.

But you can check my posting history to get an idea of Lloyd since about 2009.

Lloyd Carr invited RichRod to come here and take the job.  Then he saw how Rich behaved around women.  John U. Bacon didn't have the courage to report that in Three and Out.

I'll take the actual downvotes and say given everything we know about Bo, I am glad Carr has taken a backseat and stayed quiet and not attempted to still be the public face of the football program in his retirement. If Schembechler had done the same instead of constantly stoking his own mythos, it would be much easier for the program to cut ties and move on. 

This isn't true. Supporting your grandkids to make their own decisions is something that good grandparents do. There is nothing wrong with playing for Notre Dame. Pretty much every kid I grew up with in Southeastern Michigan had a Notre Dame sweatshirt in addition to Michigan. 

Do I root against them as an adult? Yes. I hope they go 8-4 every year and barely miss the 12 team playoff.  But it's a great school, and a good program. I'd be thrilled for my son or grandson to go to school there and be an athlete, even if they chose it over Michigan. Lloyd should feel the same way: proud. 

You know. He wanted. This is slack AF.

How do you know that that is what he wanted?  He has publicly stated that this is not true, so you obviously have some pretty compelling evidence that forces you to conclude that he lied.  What is that evidence, and what is its provenance?

You don't want to spread rumors but you just did.

Look...you don't make it to the top of your profession by not truly caring about outcome. Lloyd believed you went about winning with class and integrity. So the man had some principles. What a novel idea in todays world.

I think Carr was a pretty singular guy in the sport... he is one of the few people who defended older systems who I think genuinely believed they were better for everyone involved. I don't think he would believe ends justify means and I think he would be bothered by the way some of our former players are lionizing a guy like Stallions. But this is just my own speculation based on vibes. 

Some people hate Carr because of “something, something, Rich Rod, something, something.”

Rich Rod failed because he was a failure, not because Lloyd Carr did not hold his hand tight enough.

Don't worry, I don't think anything is going to stay on the front page very long today!

That surprises me and is really cool.
