Memo to U of L: Give Padgett & Tyra the Jobs Now

Related Topics: Denny Crum

The University of Louisville announced last week that it's forming a committee to search for a new athletics director.

Somewhere Carl Abner has a bemused smile on his face.

Abner was the strong willed Economics professor, who dominated the search party in the early 70s that brought Denny Crum to U of L. There were others involved, but it always seemed like he was the guy large and in charge.

Which I mention as preface to this screed due to a parallel between that situation and the firestorm that's enveloped the university and its basketball program these days.
