"I like the direction we're headed right now," Kragthorpe said. "I like the attitude of our players. I think they're excited about getting back on the field and rectifying the situation we encountered last year."


This much is clear: Kragthorpe will be leading the charge. Near the end of Kragthorpe's first season at Louisville, things were going so badly that there was widespread speculation he might leave. Kragthorpe was mentioned as a possible candidate at SMU and a few other schools that had coaching openings. Louisville even had a news conference to announce its coach was staying.


"I'm in this thing for the long haul," Kragthorpe said. "That's why I came here. If I wanted to stay at Tulsa, I would have stayed at Tulsa. I took a pay cut to come here. If it was about money, I would have stayed at Tulsa."


When is the last time Louisville fans heard their coach say that?

Tulsa out pays Louisville for it's coaches?

I'm sorry but that suprises me, maybe Petrino broke our bank and that's all we could offer?

No siht. I thought Krags was Jurich's buddy? Either Tulsa was paying big bank or UofL was being cheap. I bet Krags has more incentives in his contract with UofL.

Don't let Krag's comments fool you. He's making more here at Louisville than he did at Tulsa. He's making $1.1 million a year here, per the many sources that were reported when he agreed.

http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=2725322

According to USA Today's coaching salary composite, Krag was only making about $500 K at Tulsa.

Tulsa is a private school and doesn't have to report what they pay faculty or staff.

His salary also does not include various incentives and endorsements he received while at Tulsa.

I think I'll trust Kragthorpe when he says he made more money at Tulsa than here. Either way, the substance of what he said rings true.

So then he's just a tax evader? (see the USA Today note for explanation)
