from Northern and Missouri?  Assistant at Illinois?  So wait.  When did he become a Michigan man?  There really needs to be a committee appointed to determine when and if that transformation actually happens, and what the criteria are.

LC could go a long way toward reparing the damage from the losing record he shared with RR against Jim Tressel by making a full NCAA Investigation of Ohio State his only priority.

Gordon Gee is gone, removing Mark Emmert's motivation for letting them off easy.  LC might be motivated to nuke Ohio now, especially since his friends are coaching Michigan again.  All in all, LC could erase the stench of his last year and his shenanigans during RR's reign.  

I would really like that.

just kind of get the feeling that Lloyd Carr may actually want Urban Meier dead, not figuratively, like that he would actually kill him given the right opportunity.  Think about it, he went to the shotgun ON SECOND DOWN against Meier.  It may now be LC's goal to ruin Ohio at all costs.

LCD has nothing to make up for. He won us our only national championship in decades, had a stellar winning percentage, handled the program with absolute class and was an absolute model representative of the university. As for his lack of support for rich rod, perhaps he saw some of the problems that many on this blog refused to acknowledge during rich's tenure and didn't want to put his head in the sand.

Won national championship, stellar winning percentage (and increased Michigan's overall winning percentage), handled the program with absolute class, an absolute model representative of the university.  Unlike so many other "iconic" coaches (Bobby Knight, Woody, Tressel, Paterno, Bowden, etc.), left position of his own accord and was asked to stay around the program.

Still lost to Appalacian State.

There was an article many moons ago (over two years) where Carr actually rang in with his views on the enforcement woes of the NCAA, and I actually found the quote from Lloyd that I thought put the matter succinctly here (LINK to article). It reads:

"If you’re going to have a system that the public, the fans, respect and buy into, you better have a way of making sure those people who are violating the rules don’t prosper. You’ve got to invest the money to have investigators and whatever else you need.”

Hopefully, he will help to enact some change - I really did like what he said in this article. Good luck, Lloyd Carr.

One more reason for him to nuke Ohio: that year when The Michigan team was stopped outside the shoe an forcibly searched by police dogs. Bush league Ohio move.
