Cort Dennison, the Louisville co-defensive coordinator who took a personal leave of absence from the program in late October, has been fired.
Dennison’s firing comes on the same day the Courier Journal’s Tim Sullivan reported that former U of L employee Christine Herring had filed a protective order against Dennison. Herring, who was fired in October of 2020 from her role in the athletic department as senior women’s administrator, alleged that Dennison was “an imminent threat” to her and her family. Dennison and Herring had previously been involved in an extramarital affair.
Herring’s emergency protective order was dismissed per agreed order on Nov.
