Lloyd Cooper resigns

So I guess the Michigan/Ohio State game IS a big deal.

Bo Schembechler probably didn't have to deal with all the parity and upsets and off field garbage. Neither did Yost.

Lloyd Carr is probably the best coach in Michigan's history.

Lloyd did two things wrong at michigan. He couldn't beat osu when tressel showed up and he had trouble in bowl games going 5-12 same with bo.

By that logic George W. Bush could be considered the best president in US history. George Washington and Abe Lincoln didn't have to deal with 24/7 media and terrorism, did they?

If you coach at Michigan you have to beat OSU. If you coach at OSU you have to beat Michigan. Don't like it, coach somewhere else.

Don't cry for Lloyd, he had his day, it's over now.

Lloyd probably wasn't as charismatic as Schemb.

College fball is way more competitive than when Woody Hayes and Bo cupcaked to the Rose Blow.

Moeller was fired for going 3-1-1 against tOSU. Or going to the Excalibur.

GWash dealt with massive civil unrest and disarray caused by Shay's rebellion amongst others. He was named President to bring order to all the chaos.

Lincoln had that war against Confederate States and constant death threats.

Lloyd has negative charisma. Hard to be popular when you're that dull.

Wayne Fontes knew how to keep a job.

A head football coach's charisma and popularity are irrelevant when the team wins. Winning is all that matters.
