Williams writes that the interview was for a piece that will be published in November detailing the Michigan coaching transition from Lloyd Carr to Rich Rodriguez, at which time he will reveal his insider source.
The accusations are damning, but take this alleged story with a grain of salt. We have never heard of ChatSports until reading this story. And at first glance the interview with the supposed former player reads like something too juicy to be true.
Um, details of the transition from Carr to RichRod has been discussed and covered by multiple sources and I'm a member of a small UM forum with guys who truly have inside access to practices (and where a lot of the big recruiting sites have stolen info from them over the years) from Carr to RichRod and still into Hoke's era. Hell, Bacon wrote a fucking day-to-day account of RichRod's time in Ann Arbor that was published last fall.
What does Ace think he has "new" to write about that transition?

Now, while I don't doubt some pieces of that story, i.e. it was well-known fact that Carr ever since about 2000 truly considered the offseason voluntary workouts to be voluntary and was more and more jaded about the time that football players had to put into football and were no longer student-athletes and that his recruiting was suffering, I question some other details there.

Although weed would help explain why Crable made boneheaded mistakes out of the blue now and then.

The explosive playmaker line doesn't make sense either since Mario was busted earlier for weed in his career and left UM after 2007 season for the NFL. But the article says a player busted after 2007, and I can assure you that UM didn't have any explosive playmakers after 2007 season.

Anyone taking bets on it being Trent Morgan who hated RichRod and thus would fit, "Starting that day, I never enjoyed playing football at Michigan again"?
