UL president Gregory Postel just told us that there will be a press conference at 1 ET. Said Jurich and Pitino will not attend.

Have Louisville fans declared this as good news yet?

Sources confirm: Jurich is being let go over the Peter Sermon hire. Still digging on Pitino.**

 

[coach66]

You serious on Sermon?

No he's not serious, but it's still funny as hell.

Apparently Jurich was asked to fire Pitino. When he refused to do so, he was terminated as well.

 

[Willow Grove Dawg]

Jurich was also asked to resign which he refused to do.

It sounds like both Pitino & Jurich by contract had to be given 10 & 30 day notice of intent to terminate with a hearing to allow them to defend themselves. It is all just legal BS in the end - they both effectively were fired today.

Its not really BS. It is a necessary process given that all parties have so much to lose.
