Louisville officially fired Rick Pitino and athletic director Tom Jurich "with just cause" this past week. That means interim head basketball coach David Padgett had to fill out his new staff and he plucked a coach who played for a new ACC rival.
Paulus played for Duke from 2005 to 2009 and then played quarterback at Syracuse as a graduate transfer the next season before entering the coaching ranks in 2010 with Navy. He then joined Ohio State as a video coordinator the next year and was promoted to assistant coach in 2013 before taking this job with Louisville.
