One more thought: Some eager entreprenuer can make the shirts and sell them, with all the profit going to the University to pay their way out of this coaching debacle.

Not a bad article, but you need to give the Louisville fans a way to express themselves at the last two home games.  Why not ask everyone that love the game, the University, and the players to show there support at the game in a way that also sends a message to the AD?  Imagine a stadium full of Cardinal fans wearing YELLOW -Yellow hats, shirts, jackets, anything yellow that says we love the game and the players, but we’ve had enough of the incompetence of the coaching and the reluctance of the AD to act.

I agree that Kragthorpe is not the best talent judge, so I’m not trying to make a case that the incoming recruiting class is a good one.  I’m only arguing that we can’t evaluate it solely on the basis of whether these recruits got other offers, and from whom. 

I don’t imagine that we have the best class in college football.  But some talent is certainly there, and the key is whether our coaching staff can make the best of what talent they have, so we can improve and then attract better players in the future.  Unfortunately, it appears that our current staff does not have this capability.

I guess this is where we disagree.  I believe that we have the potential to lose even more money if we don’t buy him out.  We aren’t even close to selling out now, so those 15k seats that are being added will only compound the problem.  People have lost faith in this coach, and rightfully so.  Looking back, I’m not sure why I ever thought this was a good hire.  The best this guy has ever done is 8-4 in a lesser conference against lesser competition.  Years of 6-6, 7-5 and the occasional 8-4 will not fill the old seating capacity, much less touch the new one.  We will lose a ton of money if a change isn’t made to get fans excited again.  I just hope the money we could lose over keeping him is larger than the buyout we’ll face if he is fired.

I agree with the recruiting aspect, but are you telling me these guys shouldn’t have any other BCS offers?  Not just from the powerhouses, but even middle of the road and struggling schools?  Like TXcard, I’ve seen zero evidence that Krag is some great talent judge.
