Well, maybe Louisville was never all that "Mighty"... but, they sure have fallen.
Just 14 months ago, GameDay was in Louisville.... Lamar Jackson was running wild. GameDay had Rick Pitino on the air, joking around with Lee Corso.
Now:
Pitino is fired... Facing several lawsuits, and even potential for jail.
The Highest Paid Athletic Director in the country, Tom Jurich, has been fired.
The University President that hired Jurich and Pitino and Petrino, James Ramsey was run out of office.
And now, football coach Bobby Petrino is gone.
The Basketball program is in good hands with Coach Mack, but... they're just waiting for the hammer to fall from the NCAA. (That can take a WHILE!) There is debate about whether or not they will get the Death Penalty. I pretty much agree with Dan Wetzel on this: "If Louisville doesn't get the Death Penalty, then they might as well do away with the entire concept". Of course, I felt the same way about North Carolina last year... and they skated.
Fun Fact; New Louisville AD, Vince Tyra, looks a little like Hero.... (from a few years ago 
)
Local talk is: Everyone want Jeff Brohm from Purdue. So far, he's been publicly saying, "Not Interested".
