Lloyd Carr retires ... and other coaching changes

_ I like Houston Nutt. The word is that he will be gone from Arkansas. Even if he isn't, I still would go after him. _

There sure are gonna be a lot of jobs open this offseason. And Jerry Baldwin still won't get a phone call.

_ they didn't go with the obvious choice because the obvious choice didn't want the job. As I remember it, Miles was their fourth or fifth coice...After butch Davis, after the guy who was at Louisville, after Jack Del Rio, etc. _

If i remember right...Butch didn't even interview because he didn't feel it was the right time for his return. Miles was the obvious choice because none of the other guys they went after really considered the job.
