BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) - LSU assistant coach Steve Kragthorpe has
been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease and is relinquishing his
duties as offensive coordinator, but is remaining on the Tigers'
staff.
Kragthorpe, who was hired during the offseason, will remain as
the quarterbacks' coach while Greg Studrawa has been elevated to
offensive coordinator.
The 46-year-old Kragthorpe is the former head coach at
Louisville (2007-09) and at Tulsa (2003-06). He replaced Gary
Crowton on the LSU staff after Crowton left to take a position at
Maryland.
The Tigers are expected to hold a news conference Thursday
afternoon.
