Okay, which school's coach spread false rumors about Lloyd Carr?

[LisaM]

Lloyd Carr had to hold a press conference to address rumors that he had health problems and would have to step down as coach. This rumor was supposedly spread by another Big Ten coach to hurt Michigan's recruiting (Michigan's recruiting is starting to be phenomenal, thanks to the success Lloyd's players have in the pros.) Who was it?

1. Jim Tressel is not exactly the classiest guy in sports

[LisaM]

2. He's definitely got some baggage

funny, when he first came along, I thought he was pretty clean cut - evidence is proving otherwise.

3. O$U

Paying players just isn't cutting it these days.

4. I've never heard of anything like this in the Big Ten

Sigh.

5. Lloyd Carr started the rumors

He wanted any prospective Notre Dame coach to think that there might be an opening at Michigan, that they might be more interested in.

6. Come to think of it...

I wouldn't put it past the athletic administrators at Notre Dame, either!:eyes:

B-)

8. At that time, that would have hurt ND

ND was pursuing Urban Meyer at the time, who had out clauses for ND, Michigan, and tOSU. Starting rumors like this may have hurt UM's recruiting, but also could have jeopardized their chances with Meyer.

7. I voted for OSU

But I'm pretty sure anyone at Michigan State would try to capitalize on them. Lame, lame, lame.
