THE WORST COACH TO EVER TAKE OVER A BCS BOWL WINNING SCHOOL AND DESTROY THEM 4 GAMES AFTER THEIR ORANGE BOWL CHAMPIONSHIP IN 2007. HE COACHED AT TULSA BEFORE COMING TO LOUISVILLE AND DID A GOOD JOB TURNING THEM AROUND DESPITE HAVING A BARELY ABOVE .500 WINNING PERCENTAGE THERE. IN HIS 3 YEARS AT LOUISVILLE SO FAR HE IS 12-16. HIS FIRST YEAR HE WENT 6-6, SECOND YEAR STARTED 5-2 ENDED THE SEASON 5-7, 3RD SEASON HE IS 3-5 WITH MAYBE 1 GAME CAPABLE OF WINNING AND THAT IS SYRACUSE ON NOVEMBER 14TH. CANT WAIT FOR THESE NEXT 4 GAMES TO BE OVER SO WE CAN SEE IF THERE WILL BE CHANGES IN COACHING.
LOUISVILLE WAS FAVORED 36 POINTS OVER SYRACUSE IN A HOME GAME IN 2006 AND LOST 39-36. ONE FAN QUOTED FROM THE COURIER-JOURNAL SAID IN REGARDS TO STEVE KRAGTHORPE " HE WAS GIVING A BRAND NEW CADILLAC AND TOTALED IT BEFORE HE GOT OFF THE LOT" REFERRING TO HOW HE PUT THE LOUISVILLE FOOTBALL PROGRAM BACK UNDER AFTER 15 YEARS OF BUILDING TO THE POINT WHEN HE CAME
