Probably completely stemming from his time at Louisville. Problem with that is that Petrino seem to leave the cupboard pretty empty behind him.
"Alternate spellings: Krag'ed, Kragcooper'd." referencing the fact that our very own Cooper went over as his DB Coach and they were probably the worst pass defense in the nation
This will work out because we just got Crowton'd and now we are getting Kragthorpe'd. That's two negatives that cancel out into a positive :lol:
I am a die hard Tiger Fan that happens to live in Louisvile and Kragthorpe can absolutely be worse than Crowton. Kragthorpe took a team that had just won the Orange Bowl had a QB that would have been number 1 pick if his junior year if Pretrino hadn't sold him a bill of goods about staying and winning the National Championship and made them the worst offense in the Big East. He blamed it on his Offensive Coordinator and fired him and they got worst the next year with Kragthorpe in charge. There are a lot better candidates out there than Kragthorpe.
Exactly. To hell with what he did prior to that HEAD COACHING job. Same with Chollie Weis...surely nobody would ever hire him aga...er...wait...
Hey Weis guy, Weis has four Super Bowl rings and coached under Parcells as head coach and Belichick as assistant head coach. Weis impacted the Irish program off the field as well, with his football players combining to top the 3.0 grade-point average mark in a record six straight semesters. His players achieved a then-program-record 3.044 combined grade-point average. Weis led Notre Dame to record-setting seasons- one by topping the 500-yard mark in total offense seven times in '05, including a 663-yard performance. Weis turned Quinn, into a star in `05 and '06 under his tutelage, as he set 36 career, single-season, single-game and miscellaneous records. Weis was the architect in '05 and '06 of the two most prolific passing seasons in Notre Dame football history. The Irish offense into one of the most productive in the country, as Notre Dame scored more points in `05 (440) than in any previous season in school history. Weis helped put a handful of Irish players in contention for major national awards, as Quinn was a finalist for the Walter Camp Player of the Year Award, one of three finalists for the Davey O'Brien Award presented to the top quarterback in the country - and finished fourth in the '05 Heisman Trophy voting. In addition, consensus first-team All-America wide receiver Jeff Samardzija was one of three finalists for the Fred Biletnikoff Award as the top receiver nationally, as was tight end Anthony Fasaso for the John Mackey Award as the top tight end in the country. Weis followed that the next year with additional individual accomplishments in '06 - as Quinn won the Maxwell Award as the outstanding player in the country and the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award (as the top senior quarterback), took third in the Heisman Trophy race (only the second time a Notre Dame player ever had finished fourth or better in consecutive seasons) and again was a finalist for the O'Brien Award and the Walter Camp Foundation Player of the Year Award. Samardzija was a Biletnikoff finalist and first-team All-American for the second straight season - and tight end John Carlson was a finalist for the Mackey Award (as well as a first-team Academic All-American). Safety and kick returner Tom Zbikowski won third-team AP All-America honors in both '05 and '06. Krag is no Weiss.
