The Victors: 1968
It is a simple as this: we have to start again from scratch. Lloyd Carr must retire and not a single member of his coaching staff should be retained. I love Chad Henne's grit and Mike Hart's heart, but the fact is that they never defeated Ohio State, I am confident they will never win a bowl game, and that above all else will be their legacy. I thank Lloyd Carr for his many years are good and faithful service to the good old cause, but this will be his second five-loss season in three campaigns and clearly loyalty to his assistants has become more important to him than winning; he must be put out to pasture before he further tarnishes an overall laudable career. And he is clearly not the man to lead us into a new golden age.

This is 1968 all over again. A tall order, but what we need is nothing less than this age's Bo Schembechler. From whence shall our salvation come? Certainly not from within. So, just as we did with Bo, we must look outside ourselves to find a man who truly embodies Michigan football. There are dire times ahead unless we have the courage to act. If not, ashes, it will all fall to ashes.

Go Blue!
