According to a report by CBSSports.com, Louisville assistant head coach/offensive coordinator Mike Sanford is no longer with the team.

Assistant head coach/offensive coordinator Mike Sanford did not travel with the team as they departed for the Cardinals' game Saturday at the North Carolina Tar Heels.
