Petrino made the right decision letting Grantham go.
2+2=5 (X2)So you concur Zipp, that it was time for Grantham to go.
Thank you very much.
A Petrino coached team shouldn't be counting on defense to win games. To think otherwise is deflection.
Wife: "You've been acting different lately, is something wrong?"Grantham: English: To talk a good game and to at first deliver.. then disappoint through confusion.
Similar adjectives: Munsoned. To be up 'shat creek' without a paddle.
This is a cop out. Louisville has enough talent to be a top 20 defense. It’s what you do with the talent that you have. Does anyone think that this group would look / play the same if Strong was in charge of them? They are a little undersized but, there’s speed - use that to your advantage and attack. Sirmon isn’t using what he has effectively.Bottom line the reason Grantham needed to go is he wasn't getting to done on the recruiting trail. It will be very difficult to evaluate Sirmon this year. I understand many will but I don't believe he has much to work with.
Young, Hearns, and Greenard can rush the passer well enough to have success. I agree on all other accounts. Playing a lot of freshman is a bad sign and there is not much depth. FWIW Kent State made our defense look pretty good yesterday.I am not sure what you see talent wise that leads you to believe this team has top 20 talent. You do realize they are having to play 3 true freshman and maybe another one if things don't get better at the safety opposite of Williams. You do realize they have no legit pass rusher? They haven't been able to generate any pass rush the last 2 years. They also went straight down hill when people got injured last year. They is little very little depth on the defensive side of the ball.
I think Louisville is in for a rough year. The defense, IMO, is really soft. They don't make physical tackles, they seem like they are catching players instead of going through them. They aren't very agressive in attacking the ball carriers. They will face some really good defenses in the upcoming games the defense is going to have to hold it's own.
This appears to be a transition year for Louisville especially on defense. They just don't have a much talent on defense. I am really surprised at the lack of depth across the board. When you miss on guys at Louisville in recruiting it shows in a hurry.

At least two of the three freshmen that you’re talking about are four-star recruits and obviously they have the talent to get on the field. James Hearns and Trevon Young have been legit pass rushers their entire careers at Louisville. I will agree that quality depth on the defensive side of the ball is an issue - that is a byproduct of having a coach like petrino who only focuses on the offensive side of things. Everyone complained about the lack of depth on the offense of side of the ball when strong was here because he was a defensive coach.I am not sure what you see talent wise that leads you to believe this team has top 20 talent.

That shouldn't be the case in year 4 of any coach at this level.
Charlie didn't exactly light it up defensively at Texas.
Ridiculous comment. EVERY team depends on defense to win games since it's about 50% of the plays. Jeeze.
GO CARDS - BEAT EVERYBODY!!! God Bless America!!!
Yeah, I'm sure you were excited about how great our defense would be when Pertino was rehired.
Well your theory is off right there you state don't have a pass rusher you must not notice grenard he leads the acc in sacks find another pointI am not sure what you see talent wise that leads you to believe this team has top 20 talent.
