Prayers for Coach Krag and his family. I wish him the best and that his prognosis is not severe at such a young age.

I certainly am not going to speculate on his illness or second guess his decision. No one except for him knows what's best in his situation.

I think this will give the offense a little more motive to win.
Out of grief usually good things happen. He still will be mentoring JJ and the other QB's so in a way they will have a personal coach. The other Offensive coordinator will have most of the work.
It is sad , his wife is sick now him, life is like that you need to "learn to dance in the rain".


Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass;
it's about learning to dance in the rain.

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


wow we will be praying for you and your family

WOW!!!

Everyone needs to say a prayer for the coach and his entire family. Very bad news that is for sure.

Hope his case is one of very slow development and hope he can continue on the LSU coaching staff into the future.

I have to think that all that his family has gone through resulted in him stepping down as OC out of obligation to his family more so than him not being able to handle the job. You know rearranging of priorities more than anything else.

i agree with george. they probably thought that espn would get wind of it and fans would be pissed at Les for not being honest. any loss and then finding out would have led to an uproar and a national media circus about les and an embarrassment of coach k. having said that, the disease is different for everyone and he will have a transition period with the medicine. I know that this will only make the team mentally stronger. all of the coaches work on the game plan, they just need somebody who knows the playbook in and out and that is stud, plus i'm sure he knows something about calling a game. they will get it done. remember, this is not just a game, these coaches are responsible for developing all of the young men on the team, including many who have potential to make millions of dollars in pro football. they know they hold these kid's futures, hopes and dreams in their hands. they will not short change them. we are blessed to have les and his coaches. good luck coach K. fight the good battle. fight hard, fight long, hope to prevail.

Get well soon Steve.

Miles echoed that sentiment, going even more in-depth on Kragthorpe’s evolving role. “His involvement is every snap,” Miles said, responding to a reporter’s question. “It’s just there’s just a potential glitch in the health, and you don’t want to be in a spot where you need a specific call and have there be an unanticipated, but possible glitch in health.

This

My prayers are sent to steve and his family.
Also , good luck to greg.

He'll still be in on every call from the Box.
