I never touched on his religion or his family but from early, really early, in his first year I knew he was way over his head. I knew his coaching staff had numerous weaknesses. I knew his recruits were several cuts below what whe had been getting the past four or so years. If saying they weren’t up to standards (and they certainly weren’t) makes me so-called fan and a bad person, one that no should be around, well than I’ll just say sorry but I was certainly correct. And that counts for something in the end.

Frank, I’d like to think Jurich knows what he’s doing. I’ll side with him every time. It’s much more fun to play the devil’s advocate anyway.

Since mid morning, the phone calls have come. Celebration over the change. Speculation on the replacement. Personal stories of happiness and relief over the move. I was sitting on the couch when the crawl ran under GameDay on ESPN. Kragthorpe out….and honestly I couldn’t tell you what the rest read…all I know is that Nov. 28th, 2009 is a great day in the history of Cardinal football.

Now, the waiting for the announcement of the replacement. As Sonja said earlier this morning….

Ding Dong the witch is dead.

It is about time Tom Jurich opened his eyes, clearly Kragthorpe was OUT OF HIS LEAGUE. Let’s get on with repairing the damage that Tom Jurich allowed to happen on HIS watch. Please mend the damage done to the universtiy of Louisville football programs fan base, Brohms and Nords. Mr. Jurich you allowed this to happen and some of us will not forgive your lack of respect for tradition, anyone remember Denny Crum? In any event go after a proven coach that will be capable of restoring this program, unfortunately the new coach faces a formidible task. Now I can look forward to U of L football again!!

In the end, it became obvious that he was the wrong man for the job. But many of the so-called fans made it almost impossible for him to succeed. They disparaged his coaching, his staff, his family, his religion, his players, his recruits. It’s good to know we those kind of people in our ranks so we are careful to avoid them in our associations and at games. There are some bad people among us. But there are some extremely good ones as well so be careful who your friends are. Three are crazies everywhere, even among at the University of Louisville. Happy holidays.

He overstayed his welcome, tarnishing his legacy.
