Steve…thanks for the comment! In the article I just stated the situation is hard on a family. They do live in the city so they are exposed to media, comments from fans, etc. Also the pressure and stress of having a losing season must take a toll on family as well. I have not heard or seen anywhere that someone has deliberately said things about his family and I hope no one would do that. I have heard many comments about him being christian and there are plenty of posts on message boards regarding this. I do understand most of that is just out of frustration, which is completely understandable. Fans pay good money for season tickets and want to see a good product put on the field.

As far as my thoughts that Jurich made about Petrino running a dirty program…I completely, 100% disagree with them and think that was a cheap shot at Petrino. I do not believe that Petrino ran a dirty program, I think that he may have had players that could gravitate in the wrong direction, but with his strict discipline he kept them on the straight and narrow. I actually applaud him for that! Jurich did make it personal with his comments towards Petrino, but I like the fact that Petrino chose not to fire back and has just kept quiet about it. It says a lot about his character. Coach Kragthorpe has a completely different approach to coaching than Petrino and I can’t say one is better for the players than the other. I can say I believe both men truly care about thier players and both have approached discipline, coaching, ect. the best way they can and I think both truly gave or are giving 110%. Unfortunately, they each have had different results.

I’m not aware of anyone talking about his family. Can you supply links to that story? I’m also wondering about your thoughts on Tom Jurich making comments that imply Coach Petrino was running a dirty program and that Kragthorpe was rebuilding it the “right way”. Seems to me that calling someone a cheater would qualify for being personal.

Brian…I agree with your point about blaming others for his failures, but I have to wonder how I would react in his situation. Every handles stress differently and I hope I would stand up and take the heat, but when all eyes are on you that is tough. He would have more respect that way though.

Sure…I love the joke. Thanks for the laugh!

Tom…I agree that he has opened himself up for the comments, but I took his comment to be stating those were the priorities in his life and I see nothing wrong with that. Now, I do think that forcing players to read certain books could be considered crossing the line. I understand what he is trying to make better men of them and that shows he cares about his players, but I think there are other ways to do that aside from having them read a book.

Thanks for the comments all!!! I love hearing your opinions!!!

I’ve been a critic of Steve Kragthorpe since losing to UK in his first season. I’ve also criticized the fact that he constantly attempts to interject and sometime force his religious beliefs on his players and this community. That said, I have never made a single comment about his family nor have I seen or heard anyone else do so. The University of Louisville is a public institution and the religious beliefs of any coach, professor or administrator should NEVER be a factor for any student — athlete or otherwise. Steve Kragthorpe is the one that interjected religion into the discussion with is “Faith, Family and Football” comment. He has kept there in his required reading for the team of religious publications like The Purpose Driven Life. As a result, while his family is and should be off-limits, his religious beliefs are, IMHO, fair game.
