The struggling Louisville Cardinals basketball team is now officially without a head basketball coach.
No, no, I’m not referring to Jeff Walz, he’s doing a fantastic job on the women’s side as his Cards remain a top-5 team in the nation. Rather, this is a reference to the gloomy situation with the men’s program. Chris Mack and Louisville parted ways this week after the team’s double-digit loss to the Virginia Cavaliers on Monday night, which dropped the Cards to 11-9 on the season and 5-5 through 10 ACC games.
Chris Mack’s tenure lasted a lot shorter than it was supposed to. He left Xavier in 2018 to fill Louisville’s head coaching vacancy in what was mostly seen as a home run hire. Mack was going to help lead the Cardinals back to success. And, he did just that almost immediately.
