For Carr, This Is Indeed Happiest Place on Earth
Los Angeles Times article by Pete Thomas
Michigan Coach Lloyd Carr told reporters this week that this was his 25th Christmas away from home.
And that for the 25th time, as a member of the Wolverine coaching staff, he couldn’t be happier - having received the ideal gift, another bowl game in which to play.
Now in his 10th season as head coach of the nation’s winningest Division I-A college football program, Carr talked also of this being his 10th Rose Bowl appearance, and of how proud he was to be leading his team into Saturday’s game against Texas.
He beamed as he spoke from his pedestal at the foot of Disneyland’s Main Street, where both teams were being officially welcomed to Southern California. He reflected on Michigan’s rich legacy; boasted of a team that has won a remarkable 842 games in its 125-year history; and added more modestly that he considered himself fortunate to have been at the helm for 95 of those triumphs, versus only 28 losses.
