Rich Rodriguez had Stretchgate. Brady Hoke had Concussiongate. Now Jim Harbaugh has Wallabygate (LINK). Every coach needs a controversy, I guess.

AnnArbor.com: Troy Woolfolk listens to father before joining Lions

Emma Glover

Troy Woolfolk is a Detroit Lion for now.  He didn't have the greatest career at Michigan, but the Lions might be able to use any help in the defensive backfield that they can get.

Free Bruce: An Interview with John U. Bacon

Emma Glover read Threet and Out  and hates Michael Rosenberg.

Bruce Feldman, who was booted from ESPN for being a decent journalist, interviews Three and Out  author John U. Bacon about the Rich Rodriguez aftermath.  Once again, Bacon discusses the apparently icy relationship between Rich Rodriguez and Lloyd Carr.

I have to admit that I find the Lloyd Carr thing strange.  Either Rich Rodriguez did something we're unaware of to offend Carr . . . or maybe, just maybe, Carr doesn't like the limelight.  Carr was never a big fan of the media, and I find it completely plausible that he would eschew opportunities to "set the record straight."  If you ever saw Carr brush off a reporter while heading into halftime, you know he's not a fan of the media.  The lone exception seemed to be Jim Brandstatter, who just happened to be a Michigan alum who broadcasts for the program.  You never saw Carr going out and seeking the spotlight like a lot of coaches do now.

Of course, it's also possible that Carr was simply pissed that Rodriguez tore down everything he built.

I don't know the answer.  It was a strange situation and I wish Carr would explain his side of the story, but I don't expect that to happen.  We'll probably just have to remain the dark.
