Who is Miles talking to about the Kragthorpe dude?

Seems that LSU's talent on display on solo national tv against the Ags would attract almost any good OC wanting to go big time.
This Kragthorpe dude seems very controversial as a replacement for a poor/controversial Crowton.
With Miles loyalty to guys he hires, whoever he picks we will have to deal with for a LONG LONG time.
Who else is worried about Kragthorpe?
Someone make me feel better about him.
At the moment, the only reason I like him is because he is not Crowton.

He's a quarterbacks coach. Did really well at Tulsa, turning a program around. Problem is he took over a Louisville program and sank their ship. Appears to be a good offensive mind and coach, just not a good head coach.
I still like Chryst better, buy Kragthorpe is an upgrade over Crowton.
I don't know, we got rid of the co-defensive coordinators and Crowton appears to be out. It's nothing like Denardo.

I've heard that kragthorpe ran off some talent petrino had brought in due to their off field issues...apparently he preferred to run a tighter ship.
If true, I don't really see that as much of a negative.

This is the TRUTH. They had major violations issues at UL when he got there.

if that's the case, he reminds me of Greg Williams of the Saints.. great DC, not a good HC

When Steve Kragthorpe was named Tulsa's coach before the 2003 season, he inherited a program that was among the worst in college football. The Golden Hurricane had won only two games in the previous two seasons combined and had lost 21 of their last 22 games.
Over the next four seasons, Kragthorpe directed one of the biggest turnarounds in the sport's history, leading Tulsa to 29 wins and three bowl games in four seasons.
So when Kragthorpe left Tulsa to replace Bobby Petrino at Louisville before the 2007 season, he thought his renovation work was over. The Cardinals were coming off a 12-1 season in which they won the Big East championship and beat Wake Forest 24-13 in the Orange Bowl. Louisville returned 21 starters from that team, including quarterback Brian Brohm and myriad offensive weapons.
Who knew Louisville was actually in worse shape than Tulsa when Kragthorpe arrived?
"I was shocked," Kragthorpe said. "I've never seen anything like this."
Besieged by off-field and discipline problems, a Louisville team that was projected to finish in the top 10 in 2007 somehow limped to a 6-6 record. Kragthorpe dismissed over a dozen players he inherited from Petrino.
