Lloyd H. Carr coached at the University of Michigan for 28 years from 1980 to 2007, first with the defensive backs, then as defensive coordinator before taking over as the Wolverines’ head coach from 1995 until his retirement. Over that span, Carr’s Michigan teams came to nine Rose Bowl Games, including four under his reign as head coach.
Carr’s best season was in 1997, when he led the Wolverines to a 12–0 record, a Rose Bowl Game victory over Washington State and an AP national championship. During his 13-year tenure as head coach, Carr posted a 122–40 record, which is third best in Michigan history behind legends Fielding Yost and fellow Rose Bowl Hall of Fame inductee Bo Schembechler. Carr directed Michigan to six bowl victories and five Big Ten
titles. In his final season, Carr won the Bobby Dodd Coach of the Year Award, awarded to the coach whose team excels on the field, in the classroom and in the community. Carr and his wife, Laurie, have six children and 12 grandchildren.
