Well we're getting someone who can coach better than Carr. That + Ryan Mallett should scare people in 2-3 years.

"We were not a well-prepared football team," Carr said. "That is my job, and I take full responsibility."

We should not have to wait until next season. Enough is enough.

A good summary of the genius of Lloyd Carr from mgoblog:

"We, Michigan fans, surrender. A nuclear bomb by the name of Appalachian State has been dropped on us, and we surrender. You can have our emperor. He's a [censored] anyway.

And even when you aren't doing that [censored], at least you're not doing this:

Losing to Washington without yielding an offensive touchdown because you give up a field-goal-block touchdown and a deflected pick-six on back to back plays.

Losing to Oregon because you give up a punt return touchdown and punt block touchdown in the same game.

Losing to Iowa two weeks later because your grad assistant special teams coach debuts that crazy spread punting thing that was all in vogue without, apparently, bothering to [censored] practice it first. Then Michigan failed to notice the first couple punts were nearly blocked and got not one but two of the later punts actually blocked.

Losing to USC in the Rose Bowl. Not that this is news.

Singlehandedly turning Troy Smith from a POS QB who couldn't put together 100 passing yards if you spotted him 50 into the destroyer of worlds.

Blowing a 10 point lead and letting Texas march down the field for a winning field goal in the Rose Bowl.

Blowing a fourth quarter lead against Wisconsin by playing passive and letting the Badgers roll down the field at a leisurely pace, scoring just in time to give Michigan no chance to recover.

Yielding 61 yard run against [censored] Minnesota because your genius defensive coordinator set up an insane blitz that had one line of defense from a simple off-tackle run: a linebacker who never plays defensive end lined up as a strongside DE against Matt Spaeth (MATT SPAETH!).

Blowing a nine-point lead against Ohio State in five minutes.

The Alamo Bowl.

Attempting to cover Anthony Gonzalez with Chris Graham.

Losing to USC in the Rose Bowl. Not that this is news.

And then Appalachian State

Let the record show that Lloyd Carr never learns, and that you are right. We suck. We promise not to hope or expect anything except misery until someone named Tedford or Rodriguez or Schiano is coaching the team and to regard all good events as mere preludes to a fall. We are a defeated people. Give us your treaty. We will sign it."

Did you guys actually think he was a good coach before the tOSU game last year? Everyone jumped down my throat when I said he sucked here ~2 yrs ago.

I've hated on Lloyd Carr since he was Defenesive Coordinator. I preached to anybody who would listen that he never should have been hired as head coach. I quit posting on the UM message boards a few years ago, because I was called an idiot so many times for saying how much Lloyd sucks donkey balls. Finally a lot of UM fans are finally agreeing with me. My question to them is: what took you so long? It was so obvious to me that this man was over his head. I cannot possibly understand how others couldn't see it.

We make the same mistakes year after year..we run the same plays from the same formations every year. It has gotten to the point that we are openly mocked by opposing players. After last year's Rose Bowl, a few USC defenders were laughing at how predictable our offense is. After the App St. game on Saturday, their QB said he was "praying" in the offseason that UM did not make any significant defensive adjustments from last year, because he couldn't believe while watching the films how we don't cover the middle of the field. He knew they could torch us with posts and slants from a spread formation, just like everyone else does. Carr will never be fired, I just hope he will do the right thing and retire.

I am in absolute agreement - and am also disgusted Lloyd has lasted this long. He is a poor game coach and always has been.

[NozeCandy]

I love how people are even acting like Carr even has an option to stay next year. No he won't be fired, he will "retire," by his volition or the University's.
