Like a lot of Louisville fans, this blog (in its short existence) hasn't been too kind to Steve Kragthorpe, but after watching his farewell press conference online, I feel really bad for him.
Sure he wasn't able to win too many football games like Bobby Petrino did, but he tried and in many ways accomplished something Petrino never attempted (or probably thought about given his nature): coaching his kids to be more than just football players, raising them to be better men, which in this day and age is truly commendable.
His remarks at the conference make him seem like a coach better fit for an older era, before college football became infused with the money and impatience that have pretty much come to define it today.
He may have not been the best coach when it came to producing a winning record, but it cannot be denied that Steve Kragthorpe is an exceptional human being and I wish him nothing but the best in his future endeavors.
There may not be too many Louisville fans out there saying this, but I'm rooting for you Coach!
