November 29, 200916 yr What in the heck was that supposed to mean? If that is the case...then Tom Jurich is the biggest doofus of all in this hiring and firing. It may have been, by why say that? Thanks for throwing your friend you recruited and brought in under the bus. TJ is not the guy I thought he was after making that statement.
November 29, 200916 yr Don't see where anyone can be upset about what Jurich has done at Louisville. :thumb: They were pretty pathetic in every sport aside from hoops until he got there. He's one of the best in the country...
November 29, 200916 yr Thanks for throwing your friend you recruited and brought in under the bus. Virgil Sollozzo knew it, Don Tessio knew it: it wasn't personal... only business.
November 29, 200916 yr :thumb: They were pretty pathetic in every sport aside from hoops until he got there. He's one of the best in the country... I don't disagree he is good at his job but I tkink he's a slime as a person. Something about the way he looks at people. :puke::puke::puke:
November 29, 200916 yr At least he's finally ready to admit that and can come to terms with his poor decision.

November 30, 200916 yr BCG was a classless drunk....Krag's is just the opposite. I don't think anyone was comparing their respective personality traits. Just their apparent lack of coaching ability.
November 30, 200916 yr I don't think anyone was comparing their respective personality traits. Just their apparent lack of coaching ability. Your correct that is what I was saying. Also the AD not getting it right in both situations.
November 30, 200916 yr I don't think anyone was comparing their respective personality traits. Just their apparent lack of coaching ability. I would say that U of L football may have been in better shape when Kragthorpe arrived than UK hoops when BCG got there.
November 30, 200916 yr Jurich said it was his responsibility... I guess you missed that part... So why doesn't he get fired as well then? :lol:
November 30, 200916 yr I would say that U of L football may have been in better shape when Kragthorpe arrived than UK hoops when BCG got there. :thumb: No doubt about it.
December 1, 200916 yr I don't disagree he is good at his job but I tkink he's a slime as a person. Something about the way he looks at people. :puke::puke::puke: Absolutely! Why the city of Louisville lets Jurich and Pitino get free passes for everything they do is beyond me. If you cross them, be prepared to pay.
December 1, 200916 yr Author Not much difference in the hiring of BCG at UK. It was a mistake by Barnhart, but he stayed above the fray in announcing they were moving in another direction.
December 2, 200916 yr Upon some reflection, maybe Krags wasn't that terrible. He was trying to clean up the program and along the way made some terrible mistakes. The teams that won alot under Petrino really overachieved and people forget how good of a coach Petrino is. It's hard to compare a guy that can make waves in the SEC to Krags, it can't be done. Krags had to totally change the program. I think U of L maybe over valued their program. U of L is not an Elite Program and never will be, same for UK. It's just not going to happen, HS football in KY is just not good enough and the athletes are not fast enough or big enough. They get the scraps from other states that the big boys overlook. U of L couldn't have possibly thought that they could remain at that level IMO, though they certainly did. Krags should have won more games, but U of L doesn't have much talent right now. They have some good players but not enough to go to the Orange Bowl or probably any bowl worth mentioning. IMO teams need to learn their place in sports. Most of these Big East teams are going to be flashes in the pan when it comes to the National Picture. U of L was there, WVU is coming down from being there, and UC is there now. None of the teams in that conference are ever going to become Ohio State, USC, or a team like that. It just isn't going to happen. Those schools are stepping stone jobs, and it's a stepping stone conference. It's too hard to come from obscurity in today's game. There are no more Miami's or FSU's and if there is going to be a team like that it's not coming from the Big East. Northeast and Mid-Western talent just doesn't compare to that of the South, Texas or California. Even OSU and Michigan have to leave and when they do they get top of the line players. OSU is probably going to pull the #1 CB in America (at least in many eyes) and he's from Florida. Sometimes these teams get lucky, like WVU with Devine. But, that is an extreme case. Devine had two children and just didn't have the grades for most schools. The next coach is going to do one of two things. Either he is going to pull a Petrino and have success and leave for a bigger program (probably not the NFL like Petrino though) or he's going to pull a Krags and get fired. Either way the fan base will probably hate him at the end of his run. JMO, but wait and see.
