Carr will likely need to find replacements for several assistant coaches as well. Offensive coordinator and tight ends coach Terry Malone has accepted the position of tight ends coach on the New Orleans Saints coaching staff. In his fourth season running the offense, Malone came under fire from fans and pun- dits alike for his purportedly conservative play calling. Malone did not return messages seeking comment. Special teams coach Mike DeBord will become the offensive coordinator, the post he held during Michigan's 1997 national championship season, the Detroit Free Press has reported. The Chicago Tribune has reported that the Chicago Bears offered Michigan defensive backs coach Ron English the same position, and that English is expected to take it. He has not neither accepted nor declined the position. A Bears spokesman would not comment on the potential hire, saying only that he had read similar reports. If English takes the job, he will leave the Wolverines after three seasons of coaching safeties and cornerbacks. The coach helped to develop current NFL players Marlin Jack- son and Ernest Shazor. There may be more coaching defections in the near future. During a press conference last week, Carr said six NFL teams had con- tacted him asking permission to speak to one or more assistant coaches. The next coach to jump ship may be quar- terbacks coach Scot Loeffler. The Univer- sity alum is scheduled to meet with the New England Patriots early this week to discuss coaching options, the Free Press reported. Loeffler could not be reached for com- ment. Many expected that the coaching staff would look different next season after Michael Rosenberg reported in the Free Press that Carr was going to shake up his coaching staff. In his column, published shortly after Michigan's loss to Nebraska in the Alamo Bowl last December, Rosen- berg said that at least one coordinator - Malone or defensive coordinator Jim Herrman - would not be in the same role next season. USA Today reported that Herrman met with the Dallas Cowboys last month about See COACHES, page 7A On the move LEAVING Terry Malone Michigan's offen- sive coordinator and tight ends coach will leave to become tight ends coach of the New Orleans Saints.

Conference explores Indian divorce stigmas About 55 percent of Michigan marriages overall end in divorce, while only 10 to 15 percent divorce in Indian community By Mariem Qamruzzaman Daily Staff Reporter LSA junior Shyam Shah, whose family is from India, said he was well aware of the stigmas he and his family would face when his parents divorced five years ago. For many years and even today, divorce is considered a taboo among many South Asians. Shyam's mother, Gita Shah, told her story at the South Asian Awareness Network Conference, "Impact Through Interaction," Saturday at the Michigan Union. In the Indian American community, the divorce rate is much lower than the state average. The divorce rate in Michigan is 55 percent. In the Indian com- munity, it is only 10 to 15 percent, said Roger Rathi, an attorney based in Southfield, who spoke at the workshop. 'U' studen Victim uninjured in third gun- related robbery of a student near campus in recent weeks By Drew Philp Daily Staff Reporter t robbed at gunpoint The men took the student's money and cell phone. The victim was uninjured and ran back to his dorm, where he called the Department of Public Safety. The officers who arrived at the scene could not determine where the perpetrators had gone or their identities. The Department of Public Safety was also unable to track the suspect scent because the canine unit was off-duty Friday. No arrests have been made in con- nection with the robbery. Two weekends ago, two armed robberies occurred near campus on South Forest and Catherine streets. Both involved a handgun, but they were not linked, police told the Daily in January. DPS spokeswoman Diane Brown said the incidents are not connected to a string of unarmed robberies last summer. The summer robberies stopped when the suspects involved were apprehended and charged. In 2004, the last year for which DPS has crime statistics, four robberies that involved incidents of intimidation were reported. One occurred in a resi- dence hall. " "We're fortunate we don't have this happen very often," Brown said. Brown reminded students to remain vigilant, espe- cially when walking alone after dark. She added stu- dents should to know where the blue light emergency phones are located if they need help. A male student was robbed at gunpoint at about midnight Friday, police said. The victim was walking alone on the 500 block of Thompson Street when three men approached him. One was carrying a black handgun.
