Was he really even talking to SMU or was that all just a rumor that got wildly out of control?

As if SMU was going to hire him..lol

I'd take Petrino over Krag any day. But i'm ok with it. Brohm is OC and that wouldn't happen under Petrino IMO. I'll take the long view on it. If Brohm pans out, then UL will be fine in the future.

Krag just needs to try to keep UL from falling any further while Brohm gains experience. Tall order given the pathetic coaching i've seen from Krag. Hopefully he can't do too much more dmg in a couple of years.

Yeah, when the coaching changes were made that pretty much wiped the slate clean for me as as Krag goes. He gets a "do over" from me. We'll see next year if he was really the problem or not.

If he went to SMU who was already in the shitter (1-11 in 2007) and got them to 6-6 next year he would look like a genius and a hero, so if he did "entertain a generous offer but he turned it down" to take more crap from the fans who blame him for running the Louisville program into the ground, then I commend him for staying.

He could have "Petrino'ed" us and bolted for the next best offer but he didnt.

In this one year he's already shown more loyalty that our previous coach.

The suspensions show he put doing things right, risking a loss by taking starters off the field to run the program the right way, over winning at all costs.

Hell he could have even suspended Willie Williams and let him back on the team if he wanted too, we all know depth at LB was sorely missed also.

The "easy way out" would have been to leave the challenge and critisism behind and look like a hero at a SMU program at the bottom with a .500 season.

I'll be pissed too if he have anothe 6-6 season but I have never thought Kragthorpe was the problem.
