Kragthorpe stepping down at Texas A&M

Former University of Louisville football coach Steve Kragthorpe has stepped down as wide receivers coach at Texas A&M because of a family medical issue, the Dallas Morning News reported on its website.

When Kragthorpe spoke to the Louisville media in November, he said his wife, Cynthia, had a medical condition and that was the reason the family was leaving Louisville immediately.

Very easy to separate on-field versus off-field here.

I wish the Kragthrope family the best as go through this trial.

Wish them the best, but

it’s kind of irritating that Krag got such a huge settlement for leaving when he probably wouldn’t have been able to stay this season anyway.

I'd bet dollars to doughnuts that if Krags had to leave for family medical reasons

UofL would have honored his contract anyway. Seriously people, it’s water under the bridge now.

He’s fortunate he has the financial resources to help with these issues, but if it’s severe enough to interfere with his job then it has to be difficult. Best wishes to the Kragthorpe family.
