I have had my prediction on Louisville for Weaver for some time now and I still think him ending up at Louisville is possible if a coaching change is made and dominoes fall a certain way, but at this stage of the game I am changing my prediction to UK. I talked to a source Monday afternoon who told me Weaver is headed to UK and at this point, I'm not sure how much more salt you could metaphorically pour on the wounds of Louisville football fans. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but I wanted to keep you all updated.

My thinking is that injecting Jeff Brohm into the discussion about replacing Petrino only makes the situation that much more difficult. The business at hand is to make a change. Talk about a specific replacement only puts undue pressure on the main thing, replacing Bobby.

A thread for ALL possible head coaching candidates, and a little about why they would be a good candidate …


ONE - Jeff Brohm, Purdue. His wife is from Louisville. Enough said.


TWO - Matt Campbell, Iowa State … Has solid experience as head coach. Has taken over a smaller P5 program, in a small state, that doesn’t produce a lot of high school talent (and if it did, has to compete with a flagship school in a arguably bigger conference – sound familiar?) and has made them relevant. Here’s his record as head coach:

Toledo:
2011 1-0 (won bowl game after head coach left)
2012 9-4
2013 7-5
2014 9-4
2015 9-2 (Left for Iowa State before bowl game)

Iowa State:
2016 3-9
2017 8-5
2018 5-3 (4-2 in conference)

51-32 career
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matt_Campbell_(American_football_coach)


THREE - Lance Leipold, Buffalo .... Came to Buffalo from Wisconsin-Whitewater, where he won 6 Division 3 National Championships. Currently in his 4th year at Buffalo. The Bulls are 8-1, and 6-0 in conference.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lance_Leipold

FOUR - Bill Clark, UAB .... this guy is very intriguing. Was 106-11 at Prattville High School in Alabama. Won back to back state titles. Went to Jacksonville State. Set 49 school records in his only year. Got them to the playoffs. Then went to UAB to rebuild that disbanded program. Went 6-6 in year 1; 8-5 year 2; and currently has them at 7-1 (5-0) right now.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Clark_(American_football)

FIVE - Matt Wells, Utah State .... this guy coached here for one year (2009). I don't remember that. Musta been too much tailgating for me that year. He's been head coach at Utah State since 2013. He's got the Aggies at 8-1 this year, and is 42-33 overall there.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matt_Wells_(coach)

SIX - Jeff Tedford, Fresno State ... a guy with mileage. Coached Cal forever. Now turning around Fresno State. 10-4 last year there. This year currently at 7-1 (4-0).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeff_Tedford

SEVEN - Neal Brown, Troy .... we know this dude. A Hal Mumme protégé, played at UK before transferring to UMass. He's put up a very respectable record at Troy, and has knocked off some big time programs as coach there. He's 32-15 overall, and currently has them at 7-2 (5-0).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neal_Brown

EIGHT - Seth Litrell, North Texas .... this guy's resume is intriguing too. A little light on the head coaching front, but lots of experience as an assistant (kinda like Jeff Brohm, frankly, if you look at all the coaches Jeff played for). But his roots are pretty deep. Played for Oklahoma for 4 years, and was team captain on Oklahoma's 2000 national champion team. Coached under Mike Leach at Texas Tech, then went to Arizona, Indiana, and North Carolina with Larry Fedora in 2015 when the Heels went 11-3. He then took the head gig at North Texas in 2016, and is in his 3rd year there. Currently has them 7-2, and is following up a 9 win season there last year pretty well.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seth_Littrell

NINE - Chad Lunsford, Georgia Southern … promoted from staff to the head coaching gig. Currentlyhas Ga Southern at 7-2 (4-1).

TEN - Rod Carey, Northern Illinois … Currently has NIU at 6-3 (5-0). Following 12-2, 11-3, 8-6, 5-7, 8-5 seasons as HC at NIU.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rod_Carey

ELEVEN - Scott Satterfield, Appalachian State … Currently has his team at 6-2 (4-1). Took the program into FBS level, started 4-8, 7-5, 11-2, 10-3, and 9-4.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott_Satterfield



This doesn’t include coordinators, other P5 head coaches, or potential NFL coaches who may be interested.

Who else would you put on the list?

The two points I’m referring to is for AD Tyra to make a huge commitment to Clemson DC Vennables in the long term as our new head coach. In the short term Malik Cunningham MUST be our starter from here on out. Even though we don’t have much of a chance of winning another game (Syracuse, NCState and uahkay) Cunningham gives us the best possible chance for an upset victory. Pass does not, period. Our defense has quit and I’d give a bunch of young folks an opportunity at some experience. Just thinking about football success down the road as the current staff gives us nothing, period.

GO CARDS - BEAT EVERYBODY!!! God Bless America!!!

All eyes on the Cards and Cuse. It will be humiliation that reaches a national audience. We've already reached the point of no return in my mind, but, it will be a symbolic breaking point after the Orange put up 50+ on us. It will feel kind of like a funeral.

There is good news, however. Donovan and Terry face off at 9:30 Friday night on ESPN.

After 9 games, this UofL is 115th out of 130 teams in FBS schools. VanGorder and likely all of the D position coaches have to turn over after this season. And when it breaks down to rushing defense, UofL is...(wait for it)....128th out of 130 teams. Only Bowling Green from the MAC and UConn from the AAC are worse. And that is THE problem on defense. The passing defense is actually pretty good, ranking 23rd in the nation out of 130 teams. So, yes, that is how bad run defense is for UofL. Why even pass at all, when every opposing OC out there knows they can just run right over, through, around, whatever over the defense.

Most of the those runs are clean, meaning that the players are not even in a position to make a play or tackle. And that is 100% on VanGorder, Scott and Beard as coaches. They absolutely have to go.

He has three official visits scheduled and he gives the latest.

link: PETTWAY UPDATE

They are kids after all and deserve all the support we can give them. If I didn't live in PA, I'd be there! Come on folks, get to the Card March and make them feel loved. To hell with Bobby, love these boys!

Watching a bit of the Ravens today against the Steelers and Lamar Jackson is not being utilized correctly.

Why the coaches continue to play Lamar only not to throw makes no sense. Defenses are playing run each time he comes in yet Lamar never passes the ball.

I really thought he would have gotten a real chance at doing something not just some decoy and red zone runner.

21 point 'dawg at Syracuse.

Given our current 4 game win streak (last 2 by 46 and 34 points) I have the feeling the 'Cuse won't put the subs in until late in the game.

Peace

College Football Today - 126 Government St,Mobile,AL,36602

Went to the UofL Alumni Tailgate at Clemson. There was maybe 40 people there.

My crew arrived at 10am and never saw Tyra who is here at Clemson. Was hoping to get to see him there.

http://www.wdrb.com/story/39412425/...ode-it-to-track-at-churchill-downs-police-say



(WDRB) -- Police arrested a man they say was drunk when he jumped onto a horse and rode it to the track entrance at Churchill Downs Saturday evening during the Breeders' Cup.

According to an arrest report, 24-year-old Michael Wells-Rody sneaked into a restricted area of the track, mounted a horse, and rode it out of the tunnel area and into the track entrance.

When he was asked to leave, police say he became loud and disorderly.

He was arrested and taken to Metro Corrections facing charges of alcohol intoxication in a public place and disorderly conduct.

I think the players have been tanking since the early going (after the first couple of conference losses) in an effort to get rid of the coaching staff. They saw an opportunity when the fans started grumbling and took it. Most of them have another season or 2 to play for exposure and get their shot at the next level so they thought they could get rid of Bobby and save face next year to further their career. I’ve heard from a former player that Bobby openly disrespects his wife and daughter in front of the players, and that he is terrible to deal at with. It makes sense as to why he never stuck around anywhere long. People that work closely with him, players and some coaches, can’t stand him.

Just my attempt at an explanation. I think we are witnessing a player revolt.

It's a miracle!

KU is first Power 5 to be looking for head coach.

Certainly will be on this list too.

Could North Carolina?

A bunch of basketball schools looking for football coaches potentially.


https://kuathletics.com/news/2018/1...retained-at-the-conclusion-of-the-season.aspx

Louisville is Sagarin Ranked # 105 (numerical rating is 61.4)

These are Louisville's worst Sagarin numbers EVER.

Louisville's Sagarin Strength of Schedule Ranking is #29 (numerical rating of 73.54).

Only Oregon State and Rutgers are ranked worse among P5's.

I don't think we could beat either of them.

Never mind Louisville has out of nowhere become the 2nd worse team in a power 5 conference. Only Rutgers is worse but wouldn't be surprised if they beat the Cards in a toilet bowl.

Bobby Petrino's other power conference employer Arkansas, is also winless in conference play and 2 -7 overall.

Then there's also rans like Virginia, Syracuse and Boston College that are in the top 25.

And last but not least, Kentucky is playing for the SEC east title today and is ranked in the top 10.

As a avid college football fan, I can barely watch any game for more than a quarter. It all just feels crappy. A totally wasted college football season.

Louisville vs. Clemson Quick Postgame Thoughts

No negativity here as promised, just 5 players who I thought stood out in today's debacle at Clemson.

This is without question, the most embarrassing moment in Louisville football history.

...dreamed we played a football game and gave up over 70 points. Can you imagine? Just crazy stuff.

Well, time to get a cup of coffee and read the morning paper.

Peace

just saying.....
