To All Michigan fans on this site
Well you guys got your wish don't come complaning if we still suck for 5-6 years and Yous ask yourselves why couldn't we keep Amaker one more year to get Legion and Harris. I still think Harris comes, but I don't know about Legion. Well now that he is fired and I got off that off my chest, please hire SIU coach. Hopefully this is a message to Lloyd Carr that it's time to step up or be gone. Last edited by Mgoblue29; 03-17-2007 at 03:34 PM. |

I've been saying this since right after we beat Michigan in 2004: If Carr loses at Michigan in 2005 (which he did) and loses at Ohio State in 2006 (which he did) he'll still be around (which he is), but if he then loses at Michigan in 2007 he's gone. Losing to Ohio State this upcoming season would make him 1-3 at home against Tressel, 1-6 against him overall, and 0-4 in the last four Games. That would be only the third 4-loss streak by Michigan in the history of the series, and those 4-loss streaks are the longest by Michigan (Ohio State has never won 5 straight...yet).

With the lack of financial & administrative support for UM bball, I think that would be a lateral move, at best. I would not leave SIU, Marquette, Gonzaga for UM's bball program.

Looks like UM dodged a huge bullet with this firing. They desperately need Legion & Harris to be a decent ballclub, especially with how badly their 08 recruiting has been.

Mili, I think 2007 will be the end either way for Carr. Had they won last year I think that he would have retired. |

I'm not so sure. If they beat us and then win a BCS bowl I see him staying around for a few more years. Still, you could be right...the writing may already be on the wall.

I think 2008 will be time for a new coach. The offense will be starting over (w/ a promising QB in Mallett), and they have to travel to Columbus to take on the Lloyd's nemesis who has a team returning nearly everyone. |

Carr doesn't strike me as the kind of guy who cares what note he ends on. I believe he'll retire when he wants to, independent of how the team has done, and I think even if the administration makes the decision for him, it'll be portrayed as his decision. He's earned that much.

SIU athletic budget: $9.7M Gonzaga athletic budget: $8.8M Marquette athletic budget: $19.5M Michigan athletic budget: $76M Only within a Big Ten perspective could Michigan's basketball program be considered to lack financial support. Only Marquette, of those schools, plays in what could be called a major conference, and even then, you cannot possibly claim that Marquette basketball has the same exposure as Michigan basketball. Michigan basketball is a program that's spinning its wheels, they just flamed out of the Nobody Interested Tournament in fairly embarrassing fashion against FSU, and yet Amaker's firing is front-page, top-of-the-headlines news on ESPN. If Marquette, SIU, or Gonzaga were in similar shape, you think they'd get similar treatment? I respectfully submit: No. Consider that Thad Matta took Xavier to just about the pinnacle of their potential, and then bolted for an Ohio State program mired in scandal. Lateral move? Downward move? Of course not: OSU is a mega-budget school in a mega-exposure conference. And the move worked. Michigan is the same. If they find the right coach, it matters little what school he comes from. Success will mean a big contract, with lots of national exposure and all kinds of talk of restoring the days of the Fab Five and previously, the '89 championship. |
