Louisville coach Steve Kragthorpe may be under an enormous amount of pressure, but he hasn't lost his sense of humor.
Kragthorpe began his weekly news conference today by apologizing for being late. And then this:
"I was actually talking to Jon Gruden, and he wanted to know how tall Will Stein is," Kragthorpe said.
Gruden, the former NFL coach and current Monday Night Football analyst, has been the subject of many rumors around Louisville and is the No. 1 choice to replace Kragthorpe among most Cardinals fans. Stein, who is listed at 5-foot-10 but is probably at least two inches shorter, started at quarterback for Louisville on Saturday against Arkansas State.
