letabrotherspeak Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 He got 500K from Coach O'Brien at NCST. He wasn't going to get that money from UK. Much has been made about Archer and the defense this year, but they did improve versus Tennessee and played a heckuva game against Clemson. I have spoken to him a few times and is a super nice guy. It will be interesting to see who Rich finds to replace him. Brooks was the defensive coordinator for the Rams. Cassity from UL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

02Ram54 Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Cassity says that going to UK isn't going to happen. The others echoed the same sentiment, and Cassity noted he knew Kragthorpe from his time as an assistant at Oklahoma State (when Kragthorpe was an assistant at Texas A&M) and said, “he’s a great person and a great coach” “I came here to coach at Louisville and my family loves Louisville,” Cassity said. “I wanted to pursue this avenue (at U of L) before I pursue anything else. When I took the job three years ago, I said the only reason I would leave would be to become a Division I head coach and that hasn’t changed.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-CAT4LIFE Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Cassity says that going to UK isn't going to happen. Haven't we heard every coach say that at some point in time? Didn't Petrino himself say it once, maybe Kraghthorpe has said it before at Tulsa? Coachspeak doesn't hold much water, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letabrotherspeak Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Cassity says that going to UK isn't going to happen. You seriously aren't quoting a coach, after a season in which all these coaches, notably, Saban, Kragthorpe and Petrino have said they were happy where they are at? Actually, I'm guessing UK promotes Steve Brown to the DC position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
02Ram54 Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 GASP! UK fans, promoting how their coaches are so HONEST, and LOYAL, and TRUSTWORTHY all season, are now coveting a coach who claims that he has no interest in the position they offer? I know LMB and others would probably boycott home games if UK hired a liar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letabrotherspeak Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Seriously Chief, you quoted a coach about jobs and being happy and family... Has nothing to do with schools, it has to do with the infamous "coach-speak" which right now is not too strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T-CAT4LIFE Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Good luck Coach Archer and NC State.... I think he'll be a good fit for the ACC.. They place much more emphasis on offense than defense anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
