Carty's latest: "The president of the United States can testify in front of an entire committee about his defense, but Michigan fans can't expect Carr to do the same?"

This is totally unfair, but that analogy makes this comparison necessary:


It's totally unfair, I know. Chris Burke is loved by millions and Life Goes On was fantastic television. Jim Carty is loved by his mother. Maybe. Sorry, Chris.

Anyway, OL_LBL basically summed up my feelings for me on the Victors. I'll cut and paste here because posts roll off that board:

I am sick of the media. The media does not "represent the fans." They represent frustrated egotistical wannabees who basically can't do anything else for a living. Like all media, Carty has set himself up as some kind of omnipotent uber-expert demanding specific answers to all his concerns.

Of course, the results speak for themselves - the defense needs to get a lot better in order to compete for the NC. Either Herrmann has to significantly change what he's doing, or ultimately Carr will get someone else. In the meantime, Carr is not going to answer to some pasty-faced [flip]nut like Carty or Drew Sharp or any other media [stupid]head, and hang Herrmann up to dry for the entertainment of the media. [Flip] the media. What Carr needs to do is go out and win games, and tell Herrmann what to do to get that done. If he does, they will be all back on their knees in front of him.
Amen.

It is not a question of Carty attempting top provoke Carr to defend Herrmann so much as it is about asking Carr to either accept responsibility for the debacle that our defense became late last season or assign that responsibility elsewhere. The combative and even indignant responses the questioning elicited exposed the fact that the Jim Herrmann/defensive inadequacy issues have affected Carr to the point of compromising his leadership ability. Let's face it, there exists a very real problem on the defensive side of the ball and it has continued to worsen over the last few years. Carr's refusal to discuss this situation publicly only fuels the flames of suspicion that he is shielding his good friend Jim Herrmann at the expense of the the players, other coaches and the fans. Especially the fans, without whose hard earned dollars the program could not exist. Lloyd Carr forgetting his obligation to the fans is a clear indication of the stress he is feeling concerning this situation. He is in effect tying his future as coach to Jim Hermmann's sinking ship. I hope he is conscious of what he is doing.
