Since when did Lloyd ever let his players off the leash to begin with? In the 10 or whatever years of Lloyd's tenure prior to that, I never recall any players mouthing off like Hart did, and he did it repeatedly. My first thought when hearing the Harbaugh comments is that "Lloyd is going to rip him a new *******". But then, he mouthed off again and at best, Lloyd just brushed it all off.
If there's anything that characterized Lloyd's and Bo's management of the team and of the "Michigan Man" brand is iron-fisted control. I don't know what Lloyd was up to with letting Hart go off the reservation and alienate someone like Harbaugh, but that is not the hallmark of Wolverine alumni relations.
However, FWIW, I find it hilarious that Rick Leach is now the "Michigan Man" spokesmodel for U-M.
