There have been rumors since Rich Rodriguez took the job at UM…..Lloyd Carr and many of his friends in the athletic department weren’t fond of the Rodriguez hire.

There was never really any concrete proof of it.  More or less, just rumblings.

But Rick Leach, former Qb and one of the more trusting voices amongst players from the Bo Schembechler Era called into an Ann Arbor radio station and had this to say…

“I saw an article that said Lloyd Carr was at the game in Iowa,” Leach told WTKA-AM (1050). “… No. 1, whose ticket did he go on? Whose private box was he sitting in, and whose university staff was in the box with him?

“As far as I’m concerned, as a former player that loves this program, I love our head coach, I love what they’re trying to do — our ex-coach flipped a huge middle finger right in our current coach’s face.”

Wow. That’s a hell of an accusation being hurled. Even though I’m an admitted UM hater, I can’t imagine Lloyd Carr going to the game on Iowa’s dime.

The ultimate slap in the face if true. If the UM season spirals out of control, its a wonder how long Rich Rod can hold the program together.
