Submitted by MaizeAndHonoluluBlue on

I haven't seen anyone mention this yet, but maybe I didn't look hard enough.

The College Football HOF Ballot was released today.

 

Among the long list:

Don Dufek, Michigan, Defensive Back, 1973-75 

 

Curtis Greer, Michigan, Defensive Tackle, 1976-79 

 

Robert Lytle, Michigan, Running Back, 1974-76 

 

Lloyd Carr – Michigan (1995-2007); with a 122-40-0 record (.753)

Saw this and was a little surprised to see Lloyd on the ballot. I guess I don't know how the selection process works, I see there's a huge number of candidates.

I mean no disrespect of Lloyd, but I don't view him as a Hall of Famer.  What's everyone think? Is he worthy of induction?

Given the qualifications listed by the poster below, I retract my questioning his resume. He obviously is deserving and should get in.

There are around 20 coaches in the NFL HoF, my assumption was that the College HoF was just as exclusive, however that's clearly not the case (this is not a criticism, trying to explain before I get negged to Bolivian). Given that, I again agree that he should be inducted

The enshrinement standards for coaches in the College Football HOF are pretty straightforward-- coach at least ten years or 100 games and win at 60% of your games, and you're eligible. Win anything of note, and you're almost certainly going to get in. There are 175 coaches in the College Football Hall of Fame, many of whom had less distinguished careers than Lloyd Carr. I would think Carr gets in on this ballot.

True he has won plenty of games.  But on the other hand, his personal Carrtel™ of former players & cronies has managed to crater the most successful program in college football history during the past few years.  He left the program in worst shape than he found it.

He may very well meet the credentials of the college hall of fame but his true legacy is more accurately described by what he was hired as; an interim head coach.
