And, on another note...whoever mentioned Lloyd Carr. One question. REALLY?
well the thought about Car was that he can build a football team. i'm NOT saying have him coach it, but run the team. I'd say Bo Schembechler but unfortunately that great man passed. anyway it was just a thought. but Bill Cowher would work for me.
First off... who? I thought we were talking about Lloyd Carr.
Second, the NFL game is very different from the college game. Sure, UM ran a more NFL-like offense when Carr was coaching, but I'm sure there were still major differences.
Third, it wasn't just Carr that built those teams. And whatever had he did have in building his teams, I'm going to bet it's a totally different way of doing what the GM of an NFL team does.
Fourth, there are rumors that Carr might not be in the best health. Granted, they're only rumors, and to my knowledge nothing has ever come to light to prove otherwise, but if they ARE true, that wouldn't be in the best interest of either party- the Lions OR Lloyd.
