Ashley's arrest likely leaves Louisville even thinner at corner - Card Chronicle
Darius Ashley's second DUI arrest in seven months left us with no shortage of things to discuss. First and foremost there's the well being of Ashley himself (the facts seem to indicate that he has a serious problem), then there's the controversy surrounding the appropriate punishment, and then finally there's the comedic aspect of it all (passed out in a Taco Bell drive-thru and then rear-ending a cop; still only funny because no one got hurt).

Dana Holgorsen

Is it just me or does anyone else have this feeling that Dana Holgorsen might be a train wreck as a head coach? Based on things he says and his recently highlighted drinking indiscretions, it seems like he has some issues that will only be more widely magnified now that he is in the spotlight and not off to the side.

I keep thinking… Greg Robinson had a great track record too.

I just feel like he may not transition from coordinator to coach as well as West Virginia hopes.

He's either

going to be amazing or he’s going down in flames. No middle ground.

But

Greg Robinson really didn’t have a great track record. He had a track record of being the defensive coordinator of great teams that won with offense.

Having said that, yes, Holgo could very well be a train wreck for entirely different reasons than GERG was a train wreck.

I have a feeling

a parody character of Dana Holgorsen would pale in comparison to the real thing.
