Brohm is 12-5 in ACC play, through 2 complete seasons. 7-2 in 2023; 5-3 in 2024

Plus 1-1 vs Notre Dame.

Not hard to look back at the season and see how close JB has us to crashing the playoff in just 2 seasons. The Stanford game is an outlier in my opinion. If you throw that one out,we're half a dozen plays from being in the conversation about the playoff.

Tbs, there's one major hurdle left in front of JB this season before him and Heird have to figure out how to keep the young stars on this team together,build on it and make a serious run next season.

He's done fairly well I'd say,and along the way he's energized the fanbase. We need this next big hurdle as a Program,then we think about building for the run.

Every season will be a new challenge. I'm pretty sure I could not coach a basically brand new team each season.

This is silly. We are in no position to be paying yet another guy for NOT coaching, in addition to paying up for a new staff. Brohm has had two winning seasons. I believe he will beat UK this year, but even if he doesn’t he should not and will not be fired. His DC maybe, but he won’t.

Exactly Guardman. With todays revolving door of players, it's going to be extremely changeling to build a consistent program that will remain at the top. That is unless you are already an established "blueblood" in the college atmosphere. While I think we shot ourselves in the foot in several very winnable games, I think Jeff is doing a good job. I hate they way things have changed in college sports but is what we have.

In the olden days of just 5 years ago, a coach could depend on his 4th and 5th year players to help set the standards and give guidance to the newer, younger players. No longer does a coach have such a luxury. The coach and his staff are on an island. Little help from established players who have come up in his culture. All on the coaches.
