Well that's one way to make sure you don't get fired

Rumor has it that Monday will bring the retirement of Michigan coach Lloyd Carr.

This article says he was mum on the topic at Saturday's game against Ohio State, despite thoughts that he might announce his intentions prior to the game in order to rile up his team.

Carr has lost 6 of the last 7 to the Buckeyes and today's loss marks the first time in the history of the match-up that either team has lost 5 straight times.

Many have called for Carr's head this season since the Michigan loss to App. State. and there wasn't much talk (if any) of a Carr retirement prior to the disappointing season.

I suppose a coach like Lloyd Carr wants to save as much face as possible - which is understandable. However, he's getting a bum wrap. There's no way Carr is responsible for the teams downturn this season.

I'm a season ticketholder, so I get 4 votes:
1) Bye-Bye Lloyd; you have been a pathetic underachiever
2) Bye-Bye Hart; your mouth is your biggest organ
3) Bye-Bye Henne; you selfish schmuck - you should have benched yourself
4) Bye-Bye Manningham: were you paid to drop those passes?
