Im just waiting for the shit storm from either fan base. He stays you guys are happy and the Indiana fans wont be or he goes and well....
would be pretty entertaining to watch the Louisville meltdown if he spurns them. they seem like an...interesting bunch.
I've thought he'll stay this time around, but nothing would shock me. his actions aren't those of a guy that plans on being in WL long-term. and imo, he's perpetuating Purdue as a stepping stone job with this stuff. will just be happy if he stays, we ink this class, and get a payoff year or two bc of it.
I have been reading the Louisville 247 board. It isn't a done deal by any means to their guy 50-50
Big Brohm Fan here...just saying. Seeing Purdue do much better is only putting pressure on the IU administration to get their head out of their ass. I am all for it.
Yeah, one of the Mizzou board's mods has Louisville contacts, and he's saying that they all expect it to happen.
We don't know what'll happen, but I think they (a) underestimated the fact that the program is not in a good spot from a talent perspective or financially (b) that Brohm wasn't as compelled by coming home as they thought.
I personally think (b) has more to do with the fact that he wants to go to a place to compete for natty's, and Purdue is a faster track to getting an offer from that kind of program.
All of the local media and one of the Mods on 247 are all saying 100% Demling who is also on 247 and a good friend of Jeff continues to say 50-50
I think money will be an issue if he expects a substantial raise. They can give him a raise, but I'm not sure they can beat a Purdue counter by much considering the Petrino buyout + Brohm's buyout + their financial situation.
True but what kind of raise are we talking? Is Purdue really going to pay him Dabo Swinney money?
Just saying that I don’t think Louisville can muster enough to really outbid us. Making an assumption that we don’t get into silly offers.
I think if it’s close he goes to UofL. ACC doesn’t have a ton of competition, academic requirements are significantly lower, and it’s home. Purdue would have to hammer out a $6mil deal IMO, even so $5m from UofL might do it with enough bonuses.
No different than recruiting it seems. Lots of people claiming to be in the know and hearing a million different stories. Feel ya on wanting it to be over.
It actually seems worse than recruiting even.
The only thing about b is the ACC is weak af right now. Its Clemson and then nothing so the path to the semifinal is easier. I guess he could hold out for the USC job, but do you really want a program whose administration doesn’t give a shit about football.
We'll see. He's positioned pretty well here in the west, and has a good recruiting class coming in. If he's looking for a big time job, Purdue can get him there faster as opposed to rebuilding at Louisville. If he wants to go home...he'll go home.
I'd be willing to bet that he stays. Though I don't think it's a given by any means.
I agree if he’s eyeing something more. Easier to leave Purdue than UofL. All depends on what he sees as his end game. NFL or a football power or is UofL it?
Agree that it depends on his end-game. I think Louisville will always be there for him, same way it was for Petrino (until he got his ass fired).
He's not really operating like a guy that's leaving, in terms of the recruiting he's doing, the things he's saying to the team, etc. It's obviously still on-going, but seems positive for Purdue.
This. Plus the Milton Wright commitment when it was apparent Petrino was going to be fired and Wright’s confidence that Brohm was going to stay at Purdue after the news broke. It seemed like that was the last “hurdle” before he committed. The David Bell recruitment continues to remain very “pro-Purdue” after recent visits with Brohm. Wouldn’t be the case if Brohm wasn’t assuring recruits he was going to be at Purdue next season. None of the current committed guys seem to be wavering about anything at all.
I see Brohm as a guy who works until his time is up. He’s still the coach at Purdue until/if he signs his next contract. I guess with the meeting today everybody should know later today or tomorrow.
I agree but when you combine everything it doesn’t add up to a guy that is about to leave unless he is just burning bridges in the process. Doesn’t seem to be the type of guy that would do that but you never know.
Nebraska mod from Omaha, who went to school at The Ville is saying it's all but done . he wants to announce before the signing period. Also claiming Moore is following him. He is well connected with some big time boosters.
More will be announcing for the NFL this time next year. I doubt he follows but who knows.
he's a true frosh rn, so no.
honestly if Brohm were to leave, I wouldn't blame him for following Brohm. He's a known commodity, avoids a year of injury, and heads off to a new destination with a great coach to shine for his jr* year before going pro.
*edit: rs-sophomore year, third year out of HS
This gave me a laugh. The good news is he has also hired some really good replacements.
"Mike Bobinski is the AD at Purdue, and he's really good at this. He got to watch Skip Prosser, Thad Matta and Sean Miller bolt from Xavier under his watch"
