Purdue Hires Brohm
- Thread starter OVERHERD
- Start date
What a terrible move for brohm. He could have held out for a better job
Lol, he just signed for more guaranteed cash than 99.9% of the folks here will ever see. I don't feel bad for any of these cats.
We can send their new head coach a welcome basket with Legg and Mirabel in it
I nominate Bill Legg as new head coach of WKU!
No one said they felt sorry for him. Just shocked he wouldn't wait for somehingn better than Purdue
I dunno, I think he could steer Purdue back to the Drew Brees type offense and at least make them competent again. BUT he didn't start with a bare cupboard at WKU, so its an unknown how well he will do with that at Purdue.
Baylor may be facing hard times, I can't remember if the NCAA has ruled in regards to them yet. I wouldn't take it for sure.
Think about it. If he ever gets them to 6 wins, he'll be there for life if he wants. I did think he would go to a more established program though.
Well WKU has lost Brohm and prolly many of it's coaches. They lose about 11-12 starters. Let's see if Doc can finally beat them next fall.

If I were a head coach being considered for jobs right now, I'd take Purdue way before I'd take Baylor.
Baylor is getting ready to get the Penn State Jerry Sandusky treatment by the NCAA...
And Baylor does not have the resources to bounce back as quickly as PSU has.
Brohm moves 304 miles from Bowling Green Kentucky and goes from CUSA to the Big 10 and sets himself up financially for life , regardless of the outcome.
Not hard to comprehend.

TwolHerdfan Doc won't beat anyone on next years schedule if he is retaining Legg, Mirabel, and Heater! Just saying.
He should have waited to see if Doc was let go. He could be making, what, $600,000 here????

The Tops last 3 coaches were Taggert, Petrino and Brohm. They will find someone to keep the trains moving and Doc will lose down there next year.
Amen, TC98, and, if he is selected, I'll pay for his bus ticket to Bowling Green!!!!!
Purdue is not the easiest job. Clearly the #2 (public) school in the state, and clearly the #2 sport on campus. Hardcore ag/tech school with high academic standards and no cupcake majors to hide kids in. Less than 1200 black non-athlete students in a school of 40K. 60% male. Grim kind of science geek place.
But, one, the guy gets enough money to set himself up for life. And, two, the expectations are low. 8 wins and you are a genius. 6 gets you a 10 year renewal.
