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.
