UCONN UCONN UCONN Kragthorpe told me Tuesday night he talked with TU Athletic Director Bubba Cunningham, and was told he would not be under consideration to replace the departed Todd Graham. Kragthorpe said he wanted to interview, and should have been granted at least the courtesy to makwe a case for the job. According to the coach, he was denied. This is baffling. As I stated in the previous blog, all the reasons to consider Kragthorpe make sense. He saved the program. SAVED THE PROGRAM. And not even an interview? You must be kidding. Hey, I know this is a tough business, but is this the way TU should conduct its search. No interview? Ooch.

This is quite the collector's item.

On Wednesday, the guest writers of "Point Taken," an op-ed panel hosted by the L'ville Courier-Journal, take turns discussing Kragthorpe's fate at the University of Louisville.

I'm not sure there's anyone among us who thinks there's any more than a razor thin chance of Jon Gruden actually being the next head football coach at Louisville (I've already promised to wear a dress to Derby if it does), but I think it's the fact that Jurich is reportedly at least making an effort to go after him that has people so enthused. Regardless, here's EC telling you why this will never come to fruition.

Brett McMurphy: A report that Louisville coach Steve Kragthorpe has been informed he will not return next season is "absolutely not true," Louisville senior associate athletic director Kenny Klein told FanHouse. ... Klein said the report, which indicated an announcement would be made no later than next Monday, is "completely wrong information." "Tom Jurich and Coach Kragthorpe didn't even speak on Monday in person or by phone," Klein said.

All the excitement of a Jarmusch, and none of the head squishing.

How much do you want to bet he drops the f bomb?
