Agreed. The proper move should have been letting Brohm walk to save a few mil & hire an unqualified defensive assistant who wears transition lenses. That’s how u cultivate a great football program.

Agreed but they had to do it to fend off UL. I'm not upset about it. Glad they made that type of commitment.
I'm not faulting Purdue at all but I will continue to use it to take shots. I can't help it.
The irony here is that Archie Miller is in a much similar situation. Of course Brohm is recruiting way better than Purdue historically does, and he has overachieved with lesser talent. Meanwhile Archie is seriously below IU's historical win percentage despite recruiting well.
I think Brohm might make more than Tom Allen and all of his assistants combined?
Good for Purdue to fend off Louisville's poaching.
Although I suspect that's the only serious threat Purdue has to face. I doubt Brohm is gonna cause too much of a damage in the West to attract top schools.

The situations couldn't be more different.
Could you imagine the raise he will get when he goes two games over .500 for a season?
People are really trying to compare Archie’s original contract at the 3rd most valuable program vs a guy getting a 50% raise for a .500 record at a school ranked 49th in sports revenue?
Well Darrell was one of the worst football coaches historically in the conference. He made a lot of ex-IU coaches look like studs by comparison.
Fixed it for you. Is that the same list that has Purdue ranked as like the 12th most valuable program?
No, just showing how dumb it is to base Brohm’s contract on the .500 record.
Thought he could sign with an agent and still come back? I’d still be surprised if he came back and probably would be a mistake from a financial standpoint.
One got 2 raises after going .500. The other got paid before he coached a single game. It’s a little questionable.
Why would it be a mistake? You don't think he'd improve? The likelihood of him shooting in the 20% range from deep next year is unlikely considering the improvement we saw toward the end of the year. Not to mention he's getting his hand fixed.
haha good bait attempt there sir.
In all seriousness, I could see why he could come back. Would still be surprised if it happens though. Would be fun to watch Eastern shut him down again though
Hasn’t officially and hasn’t yet hired an agent. It wouldn’t be odd to me if it was reported.
No, like literally a finanacial mistake from wasting a year not making money, even if he marginally improves his draft spot.
True, would hate to hear you guys bragging about winning the NIT next offseason.

Its a $4mil difference in from 20th to 10th for the first 3 years. I'm not sure what the back end of avg NBA players contract looks like. Also not sure of the difference between this year and next year. But i'm sure thats something being considered.
Archie would be fired if Romeo comes back and they don't make the tournament. And he'd probably deserve it.
