Louisville has called a noon press conference amidst reports that Steve Kragthorpe has been relieved of his duties as the school’s football coach.
Pat Forde reports for ESPN that sources have told him that Kragthorpe has been fired: “The Cardinals’ 34-14 loss to Rutgers ends Kragthorpe’s tenure after three disappointing seasons. Kragthorpe, who went 15-21 at Louisville, will meet with athletic director Tom Jurich Saturday, according to sources, to determine the best way to handle his departure.”
Pat mentions Houston coach Kevin Sumlin and Florida defensive coordinator Charlie Strong as leading candidates.
