Louisville athletic director Josh Heird announced Monday afternoon that former Cardinal WR and Super Bowl MVP Deion Branch will be the interim head coach for U of L’s Dec. 17 Fenway Bowl game against Cincinnati.
Branch currently serves as Louisville’s Director of Player Development & Alumni Relations, a position he accepted in January of this year.
Heird noted that Branch doesn’t have head coaching aspirations at this time and that he is not a candidate to be the next full-time head coach. The Cardinal AD added that no one on the current Cardinal staff is a candidate to be the next head coach.
