Carr expected to announce retirement on Monday
It appears that Michigan lost a little more than just the game against Ohio State.
ESPN has learned that Michigan coach Lloyd Carr will hold a 10 a.m. press conference on Monday at which time he is expected to announce his retirement
The interesting part:
LSU coach Les Miles seems to be at the top of the list because he played for the late Bo Schembechler at Michigan. That is where Miles met his wife, and he was an assistant there under Schembechler.
Even though Miles appears to be in a great situation leading the top-ranked Tigers in a talent-rich area of the country, the school seemed concerned enough about him bolting for Ann Arbor that it put a specific clause in his contract to make it an expensive move.
In the "termination by coach" section of his deal, Michigan is the only other school mentioned. It states that Miles will not seek or accept employment as Michigan's coach. If Miles does leave LSU to coach the Wolverines, he must pay LSU $1.25 million.

shit....Michigan can save some money and take up a collection in Columbus. I'm sure those people are as convinced as I am that Miles is a bumbling bafoon who is lucky to be in the situation he's currently in.

now i know why those scUM frat kids were beating on those jalopies with such a release of anxiety!
thanks for the rides, Lloyd.
[edit]: wouldn't you know it, but just as i hit the submit button on this, Mark Knopfler comes on the radio singing "Punish the Monkey"... freaky!!!
They’re driving long nails into coffins
You’ve been having sleepless nights
You’ve gone as quiet as a church mouse
and checking on your rights
The boss has hung you out to dry
And it looks as though
they’ll punish the monkey
and let the organ grinder go
You’ve been talking to a lawyer
Are you going to to pretend
that you and your employer
are still the best of friends?
Somebody’s going to take the fall
There’s your quid pro quo
They’ll punish the monkey
and let the organ grinder go
Here comes a policeman
He won’t be sidetracked
He’s asking about a smoking gun
He’s after the facts
It’s a quiet life from here on in
You’ve dropped your poison cup
The telephone is ringing
But you’re not picking up
Time’s up, Sir Lord Flunkey
And everybody knows
they’ll punish the monkey
and let the organ grinder go

Players reaction
ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) - Lloyd Carr walked into a team meeting Sunday only to be met with silence.
He exited the Schembechler Hall meeting room and entered again, this time receiving thunderous applause from his Michigan players, most of whom understood the announcement that was coming.
"He's not going to be here any longer," linebacker Chris Graham said, following the 20-minute meeting. "It's a sad thing to hear, but I enjoyed every moment of being here with him. He's a great coach to me, he's like another father figure. Just having him here is the whole reason I came."
The decision to leave, players believe, wasn't an easy one for the 62-year-old Carr.
"He loves this program to the death," wide receiver Adrian Arrington said. Graham described his teammates reaction as mixed, with some shocked at the news, while younger players didn't know how to digest what they had just heard.
"It was just strange," outside linebacker Shawn Crable said. "He didn't tear up or anything like that - it was just strange. It was just a weird meeting."
"He's been a leader," Crable said. "He's been the face of the program, he's taken a lot of heat in situations, he's had some great times in situations, but he's been the leader." Senior defensive tackle Will Johnson said he saw signs throughout the year that this would be Carr's last season, but that the coach never wanted his status to become a distraction.
"He's a great coach and a great man," Johnson said. "I'm going to miss him being around."
"He's up there," Mesko said. "He's done a lot of things and run one of the cleanest programs in the nation - he always ran everything with integrity and I respect that."
Senior safety Jamar Adams said he would have preferred to see Carr stay at Michigan, but he hopes his coach's future includes some relaxation. "I hope he goes and chills out somewhere and spends some of that money he's got," Adams said. "But I just want him to have as much fun as he can."
