Kragthorpe reportedly interested in UConn job

by Mike Rutherford on Jan 11, 2011 12:59 PM EST in Football

According to Yahoo's Tom Dienhart, Steve Kragthorpe's "people" have reportedly reached out to the Connecticut athletic department and made it known that the former Louisville head coach is interested in taking over the Husky program.

My guess is that interest from the other side is significantly lower.

If Krags does end up landing anywhere, it'll be back at Tulsa. Still, can you imagine? The Louisville/Connecticut football rivalry has been slowly gaining traction since the unfair catch game, but this would catapult it into an entirely different level.

A man can dream.

Chances that all of Kragthorpe's "people" also have the last name Kragthorpe: 100%.

Does the UConn barss not own a TV set? My God, if they hire Clownthorpe, the entire administration should be fired. At least we’d know they’d be doing it the right way! UConn could be rattling some chains pretty soon.

Keep in mind that Krag ended up being third on the list for the new HC at 1-AA Texas State

They hired Dennis Franchione ahead of Dan “Go play intermurals, brotha” Hawkins and Krag.

Still

How awesome would it be to be able to beat him down year after year on the playing field.

I’m almost shocked at myself how much disdain i have for this man.

This is the best post in this thread

I’m not being sarcastic either. It says exactly what most are thinking. Kudos to you.

HIRE THIS MAN!

Not because he is a good coach, because I dont like UConn, ever since the “unfair catch”.

At least the “you’re” is correct.

I don't wish Kragthorpe upon any of our Big East brethren...

It would hurt the league overall.

However, he is more than welcome to take over for Joker after the UK fans run him out of town.

Probbly not needed but

the joke that this guy is, he earns the negative comments. I hope he coaches some where. I hope we get them on our schedule. I hope we crush them. I hope his wife hears someone refer to him as feminine anatomy.

We need to do everything humanly possible to make sure this happens...

Call the President’s office…write letters to their paper…impersonate a wealthy donor…sell organs…ANYTHING. We need to make UCONN football KRAGTASTIC!

(Payback’s a bitch for that fair catch!)

Anything to make this happen?

I’m looking at you Austin Montgomery.

I want the big east to be as tough as possible again.HWSNBN would not do it any favors.

Rivalry

Far from it.

It would be an annual practice session/laugh fest for us (till UConn canned him).

Shit,

I’m interested in the job too… I’d take the salary for one year and probably fail less miserably than HWSNBN and would gladly take the money and the canning after that 1st year.
