*Official* B1G Off-season Thread

Depends. He is very close with Petrino and not sure how he’d feel about taking over for his former boss. I think a lot of people assume that Brohm would definitely leave for Louisville but don’t think it’s anything close to a certainty.

He takes it without a question. That’s not a knock against Purdue as their investing money in the program but he’s from Louisville, played at Louisville, Louisville is in a higher financial bracket.

I would to agree with this
 
Didn’t watch it...plenty of talk about Petrino and his job status before getting blown out. I will say Louisville has a fairly easy schedule
Alabama is as good as I've seen them be. For a team that is to be "down" defensively?? Umm. Yeah. Someone forgot.to tell.those dudes that. I could be wrong Klize, but I'm not sold anyone in the SEC comes close. I know it's early. Teams will get better. But I mean, so will Bama. That's scary shit.
As for Petrino. I cannot imagine UL is considering dumping him. Unless there's something outside of football. I mean who do they get that's better? Brohm? He's not really better. Plus, not sure he leaves Purdue anyways with the recruits he has coming.
 
Hit the nail on the head as always SNU.

Are you denying that Brohm is a good coach? I don’t think any Purdue fan mentioned anything about a New Year’s Day bowl in year 2 for Brohm after the roster he inherited. Simply making/winning a bowl game with the roster he inherited was amazing. But there’s still a lot of sub-B1G level talent on this team. What’s wrong with being hyped for he season to start? Shit I can only imagine the hype from you guys if you came off a bowl win since it hasn’t happened in 25 years.
Why are you still trying to have a conversation with this jabroni? Have you not learned by now the dude is incapable of having a reasonable conversation?

Not sold he would. I know he's from Louisville, etc, etc...But man he has some nice talent lined-up. He's in a very good conference. What happens if he goes to UL, and fails? Then where does he go? I think he passes if the job opens next year. Especially if he has a "meh" season this year. Then again, if he has a "meh" season, UL probably doesn't call.

Don’t think I’d agree with you. I believe he and Petrino make almost the same amount of money right now and Purdue would bump that up to keep him if they need to. I get he’s from there and played there but don’t think it’s “without question.” Is there a decent chance? Sure. But far from a sure thing

Well said. He’s building something at Purdue and has a nice setup being in the west division. Don’t think it’s a sure thing he leaves anytime soon. I think a lot of people are thinking/hoping he does though.

The guy has about as strong as a connection to the area and school as anyone. If he turns it down I will eat some crow. He isn’t going to leave Purdue for any ole school for the reasons you state but if Louisville calls don’t think he stays at Purdue.

You think a coach actually thinks “What if I don’t succeed?” You of all people should understand Brohms/UofL. Brohms were born and raised in Louisville, played high school ball at Trinity, played at UofL, coached at UofL, not just one, all of them. And you don’t think Brohm leaves Purdue for UofL? Brohm probably leaves almost any job except Alabama for UofL. It truly is amazing to see some people’s thought process.

The Brohm family is all about Louisville and I would be absolutely floored if he ever turns down that job! The Brohm family is as much "Louisville " as Damin Bailey is Indiana high school basketball.

This isn't a knock on Purdue, but I think most people are really undervaluing the ties to the city.

I can't stress how little I care about college football! That's what 40 years of shitty performances will do too a person.

I watch IU and some big games that’s about it. I certainly don’t change my schedule around for football like I do basketball. I feel the same about NFL.

Purdue fans comparing that program to IUs makes me laugh. One is terrible and the other is the defitinion of mediocre to below mediocre

I doubt any coach thinks that. And I never insinuated he did/does. The question was rhetorical.
I fully understand The Brohm connections. That doesn't mean his "dream job" is Louisville. I'm sure the odds of him accepting if offered, are extremely high. I just don't think it's a slam dunk. Especially if he wins at Purdue, and continues to recruit as he is.

This is true. I just think if he's winning, money is the same, that he just leaves. I could be wrong, and certainly wouldn't be shocked if he took the job. But I also wouldn't be shocked if he said, "thanks, but no thanks ". I mean he's in a very good conferenve. Makes comparable money. He's close to home. I mean, I just don't see it being a home run. But you are right....The Brohms are royalty in Louisville.

That’s kinda funny because you have posted quite a bit on the subject.

Merely on the subject of Brohm staying at Purdue with a UofL offer. Live across the river from Louisville, went to school there during Brian Brohms time there.
 
Miller’s ceiling at Indiana is higher than Brohm’s at Purdue IMO.
I think that is TBD but it should be. Brohm is at a program that is historically mediocre and taking it to the heights that Miller should be able to take IU basketball is unlikely.

It’s not even close, but like you said nor should it be. One is a historically elite program in one of the most talent-rich states with a huge backing. The other is a mediocre program in a talent-deprived state when it comes to football. In one sport, it only takes a few players to really make a difference, the other sport it takes at least 16+ and even that would leave you really vulnerable at 6 spots. Meaning, Archie could realistically have IU as a national contender by year 2. It would take Brohm 4 or 5 years to even be in the race for a big ten championship if everything goes his way.

No TBD. Of course Miller's ceiling is higher. That's just Hail , trying to rev up the thread.

Very good post. Now, if Brohm were at a Texas....Well we'd have a discussion.

Maybe you just missed it last time.......


I can understand those people who don't feel like Izzo did enough in the Appling/Payne situation (of which, the facts keep getting distorted in this thread - she said "no" to Appling not using a condom. Payne never stated that she was raped) based on their conduct, but there was no cover up. These were allegations, that were dismissed by the Prosecutor's office (and not just the one Prosecutor who was later charged with soliciting prostitution, the charges being dropped were a recommendation of his assistant DA, a female).

She said stop and that she was done and wasn't just talking about Appling not using a condom. I'm not a lawyer so I don't know if it this falls into sexual misconduct, rape, or just being a piece of shit.... but Appling using a position of influence to convince a drunk girl to do something she stated she didn't want to do is not a good look.

I can understand how a DA office might not have enough evidence to bring a (?) sexual misconduct case like that to court, but them not doing so doesn't clear Appling of wrongdoing.
 
I'm sure this thread is much better when you are saying that the victim Appling raped never said stop and then ignoring the post that shows you she did.

You weren't even sure if it was rape when you posted it, but now it is for sure?

What you posted sounded like he talked her back into it. There's more to the story than a one page excerpt. There were multiple groups and people that investigated the situation, and determined not to move forward with charges.

As I already stated, if you want to be upset that Izzo didn't suspend them or whatever that is your right. No one is making them out to be saints.

Do you feel the same about UM WR Grant Perry, who is a convicted felon that was arrested for sexuals assault and caught 5 passes Saturday? Or how Michigan didn't punish Brandon Gibbons until after his eligibility expired and they no longer needed a kicker?

But you can agree that she said that she wanted to stop and that she was done and when she said that she was referring to more than Appling wearing a condom?

Again, the no charges thing is pretty weak ground. I can understand how a DA office might not have enough evidence to bring a (?) sexual misconduct case like that to court, but them not doing so doesn't clear Appling of wrongdoing.

I'm glad Perry was punished and I wish Gibbons had been punished.


Not sure what that has to do with you saying "of which, the facts keep getting distorted in this thread - she said "no" to Appling not using a condom."


You make it seem like she never objected to sex, only to sex without a condom. Maybe you just hadn't read the transcript?

No one said Appling wasn't wrong. I don't know what else more you're trying to finesse out of the conversation, but I'm pretty sure I speak for all MSU fans when I say that we all wish none of it ever happened.

So cast elsewhere, instead of continually harping on something that happened nearly a decade ago.
