UM: Football

By

Writing on Yahoo Sports’ The Post Game, Jeff Arnold reviews the new book by John U. Bacon, “Three and Out: Rich Rodriguez and the Michigan Wolverines in the Crucible of College Football” (FSG, $28, out Oct. 25, 2011). Arnold writes: ”While Bacon succeeds in earning Rodriguez’s trust in delivering behind-the-scenes observations, he fails to fully provide both sides of the story. The perspective of several key figures – including and especially [Lloyd] Carr – is not included. The former coach didn’t reply to any of Bacon’s 11 interview requests. That leaves Rodriguez’s predecessor looming eerily in every chapter as the proverbial man behind the curtain.” [Source]
