My biggest problem with Louisville football during the Scott Satterfield era wasn’t centered around where the program was, but rather where it appeared the program was headed.
Where it was headed was a ceiling that no one would have accepted when Louisville first joined the ACC in 2014. It was my worst fear realized: 7-5 and 6-6 seasons no longer being a temporary acceptance, but a perennial expectation.
Whenever Louisville football stumbles and fans begin to express a degree of unhappiness, there is a portion of our fan base that retreats to the same safe house and lobs the same lines that I’ve heard since I was a teenager (which was the first period of time Cardinal football started to have actual expectations).
