Lloyd Carr Retiring

[Zimmer4141]

Here's a current theory of what could be happening here.

Bill Martin uses the mgoblog source to leak information about about Kirk Ferentz becoming the coach. People give their reactions and Bill Martin can gauge the reactions of the donors, alumni, etc... I don't know if this is what happening, but it's possible.

I don't want Ferentz especially with the other candidates that are up for the job. The 3-6 record against Iowa State worries me because that means we might start losing games to Michigan State.

I will say that there are many good things about the AD ignoring fans, since by nature most of our demands are hysterical and excessive, even if there is some truth at the core of them. That being said, this would be atrocious and hiring a guy the fanbase is lukewarm about (and that's being very generous) is not going to lead to good things.

I am firmly (albeit temporarily) in the "This isn't true" camp, as too much doesn't make sense, MGoBrian's source notwithstanding. Urge to kill: fading...

MGoBlog just updated about this, with nothing good at all. Tall building time for sure if this is true.

Hiring Ferentz would be hilarious. He just got fired from Iowa for being horrible and now UM is considering hiring him haha. Sad times at Michigan right now.

I was wrong, you guys were right. It is possible to do a lot worse than Les Miles. Anyway, thanks for the distraction for Miles.

"Rumors are flying today that Iowa football coach Kirk Ferentz has been offered the job at the University of Michigan, where he is considered a candidate to replace the retiring Lloyd Carr.

If so, that's news to Iowa sports information director Phil Haddy. According to Haddy, Michigan has not even requested permission from Iowa athletic director Gary Barta to speak with Ferentz."

Breathing a little easier now.

Don't worry, Michigan fans, it could be worse.
