He is accountable as the CEO of the athletic department and made the decisions to keep Pitino after two previous embarrassing scandals, Had he not chosen to do so, UL’s program wouldn’t be in the mess it’s in now. It’s called being accountable. Time to clean house and send the message that UL is serious about doing things the right way. Vince Tyra will be a great AD and clean things up and will lead the way in regaining respect for UL on a national level.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8945676324950180664.post-25678496767183010452017-10-04T08:25:49.228-04:002017-10-04T08:25:49.228-04:00I agree.

Jurich is great but at this point it's just kinda "space in time" stuff. I feel certain the UL faithful will look back on Jurich's tenure with pride but unfortunately he's got to go. Hopefully after some temporary pain we'll find someone to take Louisville Athletics even higher...although I don't know how a person would do it, particularly from the aspect of balancing the financial, promotional and infrastructure building that Jurich did at Louisville. He's a Best in Class guy...prototype AD.<br /><br />Jurich will move on to another school and be exceptional there also. They'll be standing in line to sign him up a minute after he becomes available. Jurich is a winner. Winners take risks...he just took on too much risk and it bit him in the ass. I believe he is a good man which is more than we can say for Pitino.<br /><br />Pitino just needs to go away. Too many wasted opportunities and too much hubris. The Faithful deserve better.<br /><br />UK can KMA.<br /><br />BurnBurnBrotherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04591664997592114722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8945676324950180664.post-69267051637578209922017-10-03T20:48:12.899-04:002017-10-03T20:48:12.899-04:00Good points Julie.

Jurich has done amazing things. The worship always made me nervous. When you are told you can do no wrong you tend to start playing fast and loose. The foundation audit showed some of Jurich's magic came at the expense of foundation and thus students and academia. That, as much as I love sports, is unacceptable.The Bird Ladynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8945676324950180664.post-8360018511266068332017-10-03T20:02:09.679-04:002017-10-03T20:02:09.679-04:00Tyra will keep UofL rolling.

The whole "buck stops here" leads to Jurich. Has he been wonderful for the university? Certainly. He has been a great champion of the women's programs. Does he deserve to make his case? Of course. My mother had an old saying "you don't throw out the baby with the bath water" and right now that seems like what is being done. Do we really need an interim AD? I'm thinking most of these well established programs can function for a few weeks/months until the situations can be a little clearer.vivianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10437538169497425364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8945676324950180664.post-19696215803917033912017-10-03T08:43:59.023-04:002017-10-03T08:43:59.023-04:00OK...what is it?

Take a look around your campus. Who came up with the ways and means to build and construct those magnificent sports facilities on your campus. Who has brought in those top-flight coaches you have piloting your sports squads? Greg Postal was a joke at Passport Helath Plans and is not the guy UofL needs at the top. <br /><br />Cawood's LegacyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8945676324950180664.post-49596271496023944842017-10-03T08:33:19.316-04:002017-10-03T08:33:19.316-04:00I stand with Tom.

UofL needs to let Jurich go. He won't get along with Postal and he's the one who got UofL involved with Adidas to begin with! <br /><br />UofL needs to go outside the close knit fraternity of program people and choose a outsider as interim AD. <br /><br />A good plea for him on Howie's show today by you but just let him and Rick go.
