Heard from Klink over at TBDPITL that Kragthorpe is stepping down for health reasons. Have you heard anything or is this more internet rumor?

From SN:
LSU offensive coordinator Steve Kragthorpe has stepped down due to his battle with Parkinson's Disease, LSU coach Les Miles announced Thursday.
He will remain on the staff as the quarterbacks coach. LSU coach Les Miles, above, will have Greg Studrawa replace Steve Kragthorpe as the school's offensive coordinator.
"I hope for the next eight to 12 years I can still be here coaching the quarterbacks," he said, according to LSUsports.net. "At this point, it is best for me to only coach the quarterbacks."
Greg Studrawa is the new offensive coordinator.
LSU is Sporting News' preseason No. 1 pick for 2011.

I'm just hearing about this. Really terrible turn of events for Kragthorpe. Hate to hear this.

This really sucks. At least he'll be around this year to help Greg in his new job.

Krag's wife suffers from multiple sclerosis to boot. Tough turn of events for that family.

Glad to hear Miles is keeping him on staff but I would expect nothing else from Les.

Just read about it on ESPN.com......really sad story, but kudos for LSU in letting him have a role on the staff as he feels that he can.
