November 15, 200817 yr Author Just to re-cap: Kragthorpe is the RIGHT man for UL. If you want to be a win-at-all-costs, sacrifice-integrity-for-wins sort of fan, there are other programs that would welcome you with open arms. :rolleyes: :rolleyes: I've said it time and time again...UL has the athletes to win football games and they don't. Kicking "bad" kids of the team is fine, I agree with that. Kragthorpe still has the players to win ball games and he doesn't. It's really very simple.
November 15, 200817 yr And just what do you mean? I mean UK fans complained and complained about Tubby because he didn't win as UK fans wanted him too. Whether Tubby could've helped it or not who knows? Now UL fans arent doing as well as they wish, and the fans come in tearing Kragthorpe apart. What's funny to me, is that UL fans still criticize UK fans for "running" Tubby off. Are UL fans not doing the same thing? Isn't it a little to early to judge Kraggy? Look at what Rich Brooks did at Kentucky. He started off horrible... But he seems to be doing fine now.

Situations are not even similar in my book.
November 15, 200817 yr How you reckon? Brooks came to Kentucky and took over a team on probation. Coach K came to Louisville and took over a team coming off two of the best seasons in school history and a BCS bowl game win.
November 15, 200817 yr Ok ok... I can agree with you on that... But that brings me back to my ori. point that this whole situation is like the UK/Tubby situation.
November 16, 200817 yr To be fair it looked like a good hire at the time. He's completely lost the respect of his players and this is not going to end well. 98 since you obviously know no one on this team and I know a little more than a handful, and am around the program a little more. I will let you know, you couldn't be anymore wrong. There are glaring weaknesses with this current team, but they'll be fine long term. Sure, the coaches make mistakes, but every coach in America does. Players make plays, and in the Cards' case, they often don't make enough to win tight games.

November 16, 200817 yr UL is still putting good players on the field, why are those players not beating teams they should? Why does UL appear to play unmotivated? Why does UL repeatedly play to the level of their competition? Personally I don’t buy the growing pain argument, IMO a HC is still responsible for doing the best he can with the team he has. I don’t think Krag’s doing that…

November 16, 200817 yr I'm not a UL fan, but if I were.. Get Krag out of there, IMO he is a terrible fit at UL. A lot of coaches are out there, find someone new. UL has been to good the past 8-10 years for Kragy to chop things up.

Funny that when Petrino was winning I didn't hear any disappoint in the way he was winning.
