Former assistant football coach accused of threatening, stalking former Louisville administrator

Former University of Louisville assistant football coach Cort Dennison's prolonged leave of absence was prompted by allegations of violent threats, physical abuse and stalking by a former university administrator and will end with the Cardinals' co-defensive coordinator no longer employed by the university.

Christine Herring, fired in the fall of 2020 from her position as the athletic department’s senior women’s administrator, obtained a protective order against Dennison in October after filing a petition that said an extramarital affair spanning 2 1/2 years had left her fearful Dennison "is an imminent threat to me, my family and himself."
