Jurich stands behind Kragthorpe

"I was hoping we could be a little better right now," Jurich said of the team's record. "I'm as frustrated as anybody, just because I think we've had some opportunities slip away, but by no means am I blaming anybody."

In addition to Kragthorpe, Jurich went on to express his support for the jobs defensive coordinator Ron English and offensive coordinator Jeff Brohm have done this season.

So how long does Kragthorpe have to prove himself?

"I don't want to put a number on it," Jurich said. "I want to look at every season at the end of the year and we'll evaluate are we making progress, and I feel we will."

Jurich said he is pleased with how much the defense improved from last season. He also pointed to a decrease in disciplinary problems."I look forward to the future -- I don't want to look back," Jurich said.

Jurich Is A Smart Guy

He knows what he is doing and I am sure he what cut his losses if it so comes to it when the time is right. At least we are not back to the Cooper era of 1-10. It could always be worse.
