Louisville looking to bounce back after '07 mess

Kragthorpe fired defensive coordinator Mike Cassity and replaced him with former Michigan assistant Ron English while Jeff Brohm was promoted from quarterbacks coach to offensive coordinator after Charlie Stubbs stepped down.

The Cardinals hope the makeover on the sidelines leads to a makeover on the field, particularly on defense, a unit that ranked among the worst in the country last season. English hardly sees himself as a miracle worker, but his new charges have welcomed English's fiery intensity, a decided departure from the more demure Cassity.
"He's one of those in your face, energetic coaches," said defensive tackle Earl Heyman. "When you see how intense your coach can be, it makes the players like that. It's like a disease. One person brings it and then it's like it spreads."

Enter Brohm, whose little brother Brian spent four years rewriting the record books before heading to the NFL. The elder Brohm kept the terminology Stubbs brought to the program the same but plans to run a more balanced attack.
Sure, Louisville put up spectacular numbers at times last season. Too often those numbers came while the Cardinals tried to scramble out of a hole. Louisville has a deep if somewhat inexperienced group of running backs that Jeff Brohm hopes will take some of the pressure off quarterback Hunter Cantwell, who finally inherits the starting job after spending three years as Brian Brohm's understudy.

Can the coaching changes translate to better performance on the field for the Cards?
