LSU offensive coordinator Steve Kragthorpe stepping down because of Parkinson's
Kragthorpe, who was hired in January, will remain on staff as quarteracks coach. Offensive line coach Greg Studrawa will assume the duties as offensive coordinator. Studwara previously served in that capacity at Bowling Green from 2003-06.

It's not the first time Kragthorpe has had to deal with illness. He resigned as wide receivers coach at Texas A&M at the start of last season to care for his wife, Cynthia, who has multiple sclerosis and additionally, heart problems.

Yeah, just saw this. Not good news at all. Our offense is what needed the most help, especially at the QB position. I know he will still be a QB coach but it wont be the same.

Sucks for lsu. I thought he'd turn them around. Hope all goes well for him and his family.
