Three Big Fish? Maybe if Carr calls it quits.

MGoBlog is reporting that Lloyd Carr has decided to retire and may announce that decision sometime after this Saturday's Ohio State game.

As with everything else at this point, it's simply a rumor but it's not as if people haven't been speculating about this ever since Appalachian State ruined the Wolverines season in week one. And if were willing to assume this Carr news to be true, it's even easier to accept the foregone firings of Bill Callahan and Dennis Franchione which means that in two or three weeks we could be looking at three teams with 2338 wins between them all looking for new head coaches.

That's not going to make things any easier for Tom Osborne. A lot of people remain high on Bo Pelini and most think that if Nebraska wants him they can have him, unless, of course, Les Miles returns to the Big Blue. Should LSU win the national title this year, that scenario becomes even more likely.

Now Nebraska isn't afraid to throw some money around when it comes to football, but it don't have the alumni base to compete with A&M or Michigan if it comes down to a monetary pissing match, and, with Osborne at the helm, I'm not sure they'll even try that hard to keep up with the other two.

Why? Because Turner Gill is out there. He'd come much cheaper than most of the potential candidates and Nebraska wouldn't have to beat anyone out for his services.

Maybe Turner is the best guy for the job, maybe not, my only hope is that the coaching search truly works to find just that person but with Michigan potentially on the hunt along with A&M it's becoming a lot easier to simply go with the Nebraska guy.
