Xtiger69 Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Just announced! What's going down? Should I stay or should I go, If I stay there could be trouble, If I go it could be double! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKMustangFan Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 I'd say it'll be one of either two things.... 1) He's announcing he will be resigning at the end of this season. (which would mean he's taking the SMU job.) 2) He's stating publicly he has no interest in the SMU job, and plans on staying at UofL as long as they'll have him.

BoondockSaint Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 ^ That's really just about it. Personally, I think he would have a better year if he stayed and got his system implemented with Cantwell as well as keeping the recruiting going but I really won't be bothered if he left either. Should be interesting... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
02Ram54 Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 1) There are people out of Dallas saying he was there Sunday. 2) I think there's no way he's announcing that he's leaving. He's either staying and saying so, or leaving and lying. With Kragthorpe, I don't think he's lying. This guy has kept his mouth shut even when it would have been to his benefit to say something, anything. The fact that HE called this press conference means he's staying, IMO. But you never know.

STRIKE3 Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 My guess, since a PC has been scheduled, I'll say his announcement is he's leaving. I don't see or recall many, where coaches said they are staying, unless very high profile in status. Whatever he decides, I wish him the best.

There's been a lot of chatter to the tune of 'If he's staying/not a candidate, why doesn't he say so? His silence means he's going' so I have to disagree with you.

02Ram54 Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 http://www.courier-journal.com/blogs/bennett/blog.html There is no press conference scheduled at SMU, for what that's worth. I just spoke with Kate Hairopoulos, SMU beat writer for the Dallas Morning News, and she told me there doesn't appear to be any type of announcement or movement imminent at that school. She had just left the office of SMU AD Steve Orsini. One would think if Kragthorpe were to announce he was leaving, there would also be something scheduled at SMU. But we'll find out for sure in about 90 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKMustangFan Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 ^Couldn't he just be announcing he's resigning as of the end of the season, and then once the season ends have an announcement that he's going to SMU? I mean when has a coach ever in midseason announced he's taking a job at another school? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Scribe Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Any chance he's going to discuss the injury report for this week's game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And for the other question, there was a coach last year that took over his new team and coached them to a bowl victory. Who was that again, GT?

RockPride Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 I think that Jurich told Krag's that sometimes it's better to let the fans in. Personally I think this is a presser that he's staying, with that, I look for a much more open year next season. Job 1, is too prepare the 2008 Cards for the best season they can have. Job 2, is PR work with this fan base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xtiger69 Posted November 21, 2007 Author Share Posted November 21, 2007 I heard 3 bits of scoop this morning: 1. If coach K stays there will be several players who will transfer. 2. If coach K stays he will let go all asst. coaches who were left over from coach P's staff. 3. if coach K goes so does TJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKMustangFan Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 SMU has already fired their coach. And for the other question, there was a coach last year that took over his new team and coached them to a bowl victory. Who was that again, GT? But that all occurred after the regular season was over, didn't it? I'm saying when the regular season isn't even over yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
