On Monday I gave my thoughts about Justin Boren transferring from Michigan to Ohio State...today I want to tackle the alleged issue of former Michigan head coach Lloyd Carr helping Boren get released from his scholarship at Michigan in order to transfer to Ohio State...
Last week, Rob Oller of The Columbus Dispatch wrote in a column that Carr worked behind the scenes to help Boren obtain his scholarship release from Michigan...Oller also wrote that Carr allegedly encouraged Boren to transfer to Ohio State because "Ohio State is the closest thing to Michigan that he would find and that there are "good people" in Columbus."...
Since this was reported, Carr denied that he was involved in Boren's transfer...this is a matter of "he said, she said"...
I know that Carr cares deeply for his all his former players...he is like a grandfather to them...however, he also has a responsibility to the University of Michigan and its thousands of alumni and fans who loyally pack The Big House on Saturdays every fall...he has a responsibility to us Michigan fans who bleed Maize and Blue...it is unthinkable that Carr would encourage Boren to transfer to Ohio State, especially after Ohio State and Jim Tressel basically cost Carr his job...
If this is true that Carr encouraged Boren to transfer to Ohio State, then Bill Martin, director of athletics at Michigan, must ask Carr to remove himself from all matters involving Michigan football - immediately...
Carr is a good person...in fact, he is too good of a person...he lacked that conniving deceit that permeates within the Woody Hayes Center in Columbus...Carr is a grandfather to his "boys"...but if this is true, it is time to put grandpa into a nursing home and get him out of the way of helping Ohio State on an annual basis...
