Around SBN: Chauncey Billups Injures Achilles Tendon

Greg Brohm dropped from coaching staff

Welp, for better or worse there's no question that for right now this is Steve Kragthorpe's program.

Greg Brohm, the last member of the University of Louisville's first family of football to work with the program, was reassigned from his position as director of football operations, the school confirmed Tuesday.

U of L head coach Steve Kragthorpe replaced Brohm with Steve Adams, a graduate assistant who worked with the offense last season. Brohm was about to begin his sixth season on the Cardinals' staff.

"I just felt I needed to make a change at that position," said Kragthorpe in a statement through university spokesman Rocco Gasparro. "Also, this allows Greg to pursue some other opportunities."

Kragthorpe was not made available for questions.

Gasparro said Brohm will work on special projects within the athletic department including the Papa John's Cardinal Stadium expansion. When reached by The Courier-Journal, Brohm declined to take questions, but issued his own statement:

"The university is very important to me. I will do whatever job I am asked to do to the best of my ability. With stadium expansion and the other projects we have going on, I think there are some areas I look forward to helping with."

Like it or don't like it, the important thing is that we all argue about it and pass along fourth-hand reports of how Jared Swopshire is looking in pick-up games.

Football Operations?

This football team needs an operation, all right. A Kragendectomy! Am I right?

Awesome comment!

I second the Kragendectomy! Also where can I get the Kragthorpe Sucks gear, anyone?

Wow

I am just in amazement of how one person can single-handedly take a healthy and rising program to the gutter while at the same time disposing of every member of the most heralded family of our program. I hope he and Billy Clyde enjoy their extended “vacations” together after this season.

Just like corporate America

new boss comes in, finds something to hang his hat on and sacks good people. The good news is this confirms (IMHO) a dismal season to come, which will be the end of all this KRAP.
