October 8, 201115 yr This seems to be the issue at hand and ultimately got Sanford demoted and possibly relieved of duties.
October 8, 201115 yr Everything is tight lipped at UL. Not sure all the details. But something happened.
October 8, 201115 yr Reports are that he did not travel with the team to Chapel Hill for today's game with North Carolina. http://collegefootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/10/07/sanford-done-louisville-oc-reportedly-replaced/
October 8, 201115 yr Sanford and Watson had a heated verbal argument and had to be broken up, but there was never a physical altercation. Watson has been running the offense all week. Matt Jones just either needs better sources or should stop stirring it up. That's what I hear, anyway.
October 8, 201115 yr I was told that the players were informed that Sanford is no longer coaching at UL.

Isnt he basically saying something happened but the Louisville papers and journalists are too terrified of the powers there to figure out what happened or to report about what happened? Seems pretty accurate.

Seems pretty accurate.Report HOW? No one is going on the record, unless or until Strong does. Until then they'd be reporting rumors that could get them lit up. Aren't UK fans the ones that don't like rumors making it to print, like allegations against recruits from Chicago? And was Jones this opposed to media cowardice when rumors of Billy Clyde tearing it up on the bar scene in Lexington were all over the place while the bloom was still on that rose? In any case, as I understand it Jones specifically said fist fight, so that would not basically be the same thing.
October 8, 201115 yr According to CBS Sports, Sanford is gone. http://brett-mcmurphy.blogs.cbssports.com/mcc/blogs/entry/29532522/32565776
October 8, 201115 yr I disagree that it sucks. You are probably more than 100% correct in your assessment. I was speaking to the turmoil in general, not the departure of an individual specifically.
October 8, 201115 yr Isnt he basically saying something happened but the Louisville papers and journalists are too terrified of the powers there to figure out what happened or to report about what happened? Seems pretty accurate. It is 100% accurate.
October 8, 201115 yr No it isn't. It is 100% accurate & everyone outside the UL fan base knows it. Do you think if this happened in KY basketball that the LHL or Courier would have reported it?
October 8, 201115 yr Because Matt Jones says so? That's a laughable reason to believe anything. He'll say anything inflammatory about Louisville because his fans eat it up. Seriously, not exactly an unbiased source. I stand by what I posted about the situation.
