It's a shame they're leaving and we won't get to renew that tradition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing that ADs are only infallible when you agree with them. I guess I must be wrong that Steve Kragthorpe was a bad hire for Louisville. After all, Jurich hired him.

His actions now are not only contradicting my opinion, but his own words then. I'm sure we'll hear what he has to say about it eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've now decided Jurich isn't a good AD because of that hire? Give me your list of better ADs, just for comparison sake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You implied that I must be wrong because "one of the top ADs in the country" has a different opinion. All I said was, just because he's the one who made a decision doesn't mean it was automatically the right one - he made a catastrophically poor hire in the past. What a baffling response. And in addition to the poor hire of Kragthorpe, his decision to trust Bobby Petrino in the past was also a poor decision, the very thing that led to Steve Kragthorpe: Louisville head coach.

I don't believe I ever said Jurich was infallible. What I did say was, you're a dude on a message board who doesn't like the hire. He's one of the best athletic directors in the country who once made a bad hire and has overwhelming made good hires. You do not agree on this one.

I guess I just made the mistake of believing you were trying to contribute something to the conversation. I think it's impossible to read that story (which I'm pretty sure you didn't) and not see this as a very strange decision by Jurich. Doesn't mean it's wrong, but it pretty clearly shows why it's risky. Jurich already trusted him once, and was wrong. Arthur Blanc, owner of the Falcons, trusted him, and was wrong. Arkansas trusted him, and was wrong. Western Kentucky trusted him, and he bolted after a year, though that one is far less shocking or unusual. What reason is there to believe it will end any differently this time? Edited January 9, 2014 by gobulls83 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though you did stop saying it would never happen. So I guess that's progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fully expect the contract to be loaded with protective clauses for the school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
