Language altered in Carr's contract

Looks like Carr is setting up to retire after next season. If they could get any coach(and they probably could) who do you think they should get?

[Lefty Noob]

Good question. I bet a lot of it will depend on this season. A really good year, and they may promote English from within.

i'm with noob on this one, i think they should(key word) promote English if Carr does hang em up, at least thats what i would do

I'm no expert on the Michigan Football program but if he were (again) to lose to Ohio State and fail to win the Big Ten next year, would he be a possible candidate to get fired?

That is if he wouldn't be retiring?

Possibly. I mean, that basically is what happened to John Cooper on the other side of the fence. But then, with some of the talented teams Cooper had, they should have won 1 or 2 national titles under him. Cooper's teams constantly underachieved. Now, are Carr's teams underachieving? Sure looked like it in the Rose Bowl, at least. Man, were they flat.

I think Carr is going to retire though. Even in his interviews he says little hints that show he is thinking about retiring.

Next year is his last for sure. He won't be fired because Michigan never fires anybody when they should(ex. Tommy Amaker). I think he's just ready to retire, especially after they win the national championship next year

Retirement talk continues to surround Michigan coach Lloyd Carr.

According to a Grand Rapids Press article, "For all the Michigan Wolverines who could have left, but chose to stay for a final hurrah, we are left to wonder whether that list also includes the head coach, Lloyd Carr, the 62-year-old winner of one more national championship during his career than games against Ohio State and bowl opponents the past three years... As for a retirement timetable, if there is one, Carr isn't disclosing it."

Would another big loss to Ohio State push him out?

I don't think it matters, really. Seems like he's probably going to retire after this year no matter what happens.
