This guy apparently got fired from Louisville after getting a DUI. I understand he has a solid resume but do we really have to keep hiring guys with questionable pasts?

I would rather take a risk on an up and coming lower division coach with something to prove. With our resources do we really need to be reclamation U? I'm all for giving guys second chances but imo those guys need to be head and shoulders above the alternatives like hugh freeze was. Maybe this guy is way better, he was one of the founding fathers of the pistol offense which we are known to run but he was not highly thought of at Louisville.Ill flame wrote: ↑December 28th, 2021, 8:12 pmTotally understand where you are coming from.

So in that spirit I say LU should embrace it. Don’t become Last Chance U, but instead become Reclamation U. Screw up on the road to success in your playing / professional career? Have a sincere honest desire to make amends and be better? Than LU is the place for you. Just look at the HFBC and AD. With THAT mentality LU has a shot to become and stay relevant in the Football world

I haven't done any research, but if the guy's biggest problem is a DUI, I would ask; how many times did you deserve one and just didn't get caught? It is certainly not smart, but it does happen. Now, if he had any sexual problems, that would be a whole different ball of wax.I get what you're saying but DUI is pretty serious. By doing so people can be killed. I hope he got help because DUIs are often a red flag for other things going on in one's life. Especially a grown man.
