Updated throughout the day with quick takes from staff.
It is a dark, sad year for Louisville football. The program is on fire, adrift, and taking on water in year three of The Kragthorping, a horrible trilogy where a strange coach with an acceptable prior record drives whatever momentum your team had from the Petrino era into a canyon. The program survives the fall into the canyon, but then realizes it is paralyzed. Then, the wolves come.
It is so bad that Card Chronicle can actually muse openly in week six of the season about possible replacements, including Jeff Jagodzinski, former Boston College coach, and Tommy Tuberville, current ESPN analyst and former Auburn coach.
The sadness of the season will have to play out for a while, of course, before Kragthorpe is fired. Sadness that deep can only be cured by one thing: Louisville's Earl Clark in a banana suit, reminding UL fans that basketball season is just around the corner, and that as long as there are banana suits and men willing to wear them, hope is never truly dead.
