That perhaps the “story” that was indicating CBP could be fired with cause may have been a situation where the AD allowed him to finish out the season, agreed to not go public, and allow him to save face and find another job?

This would be too good to be true, of course, because it would save us his buyout. But the way the staff and team have so completely tanked, mailed it in, and quit...and now an exodus of players and recruits...I can’t recall anything like it. This isn’t “the writing is on the wall”, this is something different.

I will be forever grateful to coach p for his dominance over are rival you won’t be forgotten by me thx coach

time to see if your school has big boy pants and gets Brohm, my guess is, can’t get it done. Enjoy Les Miles...

Not sure who the interim will be.

But peeps in the athletic department are pretty confident that Vince has been working on the permanent replacement already.

Good things happening, we win ACC in soccer!!!

BvG?

After BP was fired, not allowed into football complex or his office. Must've been an ugly meeting.

In case anyone hasn't looked at Brohm's Purdue contract, he has an $18 million buyout as I read it. If you think he loves Louisville so much he'll agree to shelve that in a U of L contract, guess again...

let's regroup, come together, and completely put a stake in the coffin of the team down the road. we still have a chance to go into christmas and the new year with a win in the final game, thus crushing again the dreams of that team down in the holler, GO CARDS!!!

Is this concerning to anyone? I have been an advocate of Brohm to UL, but maybe look around some and not be laser focused on JB? Also, he did lose to Eastern Michigan at home. That game counted as much as we want to act like it didn't.

Muy Bueno...and Gracias.

Just askin'.

Watched some of their game yesterday, but several Purdue fan friends of mine told me they played their worst game of the season, and possibly in 2 years yesterday. I definitely thought they looked bad against a lower level B10 team.

Coincidence? Distracted?

any ideas? Preferences?

How ironic if Brian VanGorder takes over the HC duties for the rest of the season when the lack of a defense was the main cause for Bobby to get the hook mid-season. It would be like firing the President of the company for a lack of sales, and the Board promoting the Director of Sales to President.

I presume it will be Galloway, which ironically may be named the new interim head coach one year to the day from the "Wakeyleaks" debacle. Maybe Kelakis.....Wait....Maybe this question sheds a bit of light on why Pertino is now unemployed.

When is that Cleanface Purdue punk gonna pay you your 1000?

amid all the chatter and noise, let’s not forget to send out a big thank you to our veterans, both living and dead, whose sacrifice helped make this a country where I didn’t have to shoulder a rifle and take the same risks. Those of us who have been insulated from the horrors that have become so very common around the world owe a great debt of thanks to your bravery, commitment, and patriotism. I thank you, my family thanks you, and all Americans thank you.

I want our homeboy Jeff with no second choice. It occurred to me he’s got it pretty good & may not return. What or who would you look at next. With what he’s done in the outpost of Pullman, Wa I’d go get Mike Leach or the DC at Clemson. If your looking for a young guy the HC at Troy. You tell me?

No more retreads. Thanks Charlie but no thanks.

Louisville coaching candidates: Jeff Brohm, Charlie Strong lead list of Bobby Petrino replacements

• By Dennis Dodd
• 9m ago • 3 min read

We told you it was almost inevitable that Bobby Petrino would get fired. Now that it's happened, the next question: How good a job is Louisville? The program has cratered so quickly from Lamar Jackson that it's hard to tell. The saving grace may be that aside from Clemson this season, there isn't much depth in the ACC.

If, as is already being discussed, Jeff Brohm slides over from Purdue, that question may not matter. Louisville is his school.

We'll miss ya, Bobby. Or at least someone will. One of the best offensive minds in college football has now been fired by two Power Five programs 6 ½ years apart. Will he get another shot?




Now to the candidates. This comes with the disclaimer that if Louisville doesn't get its first choice, it may be a long way down to second place.

1. Jeff Brohm, Purdue coach: There is not much more of a perfect fit. Former Cardinals quarterback, former offensive assistant under Petrino and Steve Kragthorpe. A chance to go home to his alma mater at age 47. All of this cannot be ignored. Besides, it should be obvious it's time to get out of Purdue. Excellence is hard to sustain. After beating Ohio State, the Boilermakers have gone 1-2 including Saturday's blowout loss to Minnesota. In one sense, that's a reflection on Brohm. Purdue is 5-5 with Wisconsin and Indiana to go. Bowl eligibility isn't a certainty. In another sense, how long does it take him to say "yes" when his schools calls?

2. Luke Fickell, Cincinnati coach: If Ohio State doesn't get him, Louisville might be a good fallback. Fickell has done wonders for his career leading the Bearcats to the top 25 and a 9-1 record in the AAC. Check out the background and bios of Cincinnati's offensive line. Only two seniors returned. One guy got a sixth year from the NCAA.

3. Charlie Strong, South Florida coach: Louisville has shown it is in the business of recycling former coaches. Strong had a, well, strong run coaching the Cardinals for four years this decade, leading Louisville to the 2013 Sugar Bowl. Strong has kept the momentum going at USF. There is no doubt he's ready for a jump back to Power Five, but it would only happen at Louisville if for some reason Brohm says no.

4. Chip Long, Notre Dame offensive coordinator: A fresh new face (35 years old) with ties to the program. Long was a Louisville offensive graduate assistant working with Brohm in 2006-07. After what he's done this season, Long's future looks much brighter than perhaps taking over a nose-diving Louisville. He has massaged the quarterback situation, developed a pounding running game and reassembled an offensive line that lost two All-Americans. Would Louisville allow him to coach through the playoff?




5. Ryan Day, Ohio State offensive coordinator: If Day doesn't take over for Urban Meyer or the NFL doesn't come calling, he could do a lot worse. His steady guidance during Meyer's three-game suspension was noticed by a lot of people in the profession.

6. Butch Jones, Alabama analyst: He's tanned, rested, ready and interested. Jones has begun his professional rehab attached to Alabama's most productive offense maybe ever. In case you need to be reminded, in 11 years as a coach, Jones has won four conference titles, gone to eight bowls and produced six All-Americans.

7. Bill Clark, UAB coach: Clark is going to get a big promotion soon but probably not to Louisville. He is being mentioned as a national coach of the year candidate after winning the Conference USA West four years after the school dropped the program.

Love Brohm as the new coach. Louisville will never recruit the best defensive players but can get enough talented offensive players to have a great offense.

But, we could get Belichick and it won’t matter until we recruit enough talented front seven players. Looking back at the last 3 recruiting class we had struck out at catastrophic proportions. Even those who are playing now are either JuCos, position changes, or 1st year players. Robinson, Dorsey, Patterson, Etheridge are the only players who played last year and they haven’t had a DC for more than 1 year.

The DC hire might be even more important in the near future for turning it around then hiring Brohm.

Btw, auto correct does not like Brohm.
