Far better program???

[idaho_bob]

I’ve seen a lot of you guys state that UL is a far better program, here are some facts:

All time winning percentage:UL-.526 PU-.520. Push
All time bowl games UL-10-11 PU-10-8. Push
Football Conference UL-ACC PU- Big Ten. Ad-PU
Conference Division. Ad-PU
$ available Ad-PU

What am I missing? How is UL a better job?

 

[KerryRhodes]

Its UofL

 

[idaho_bob]

Exactly, that’s my point!!!

 

[beantowncard]

All-time record is not as valid as record last 20 years or so.
You didn’t mention conference titles, facilities (CS>>RAS) and to say B1G is better than ACC is a matter of opinion. UofL also is very well supported. Your conference may give you more money, but overall UofL does quite well financially.

That said, I still think it’s a somewhat lateral move, but the family and alma mater factors also
Have to be included.

Op,I think you're misinterpreting what most here are saying.Most here think it's a better job for Jeff Brohm. I guess we'll see whether or not he sees it that way.

 

[BigTimeAt69]

Bottom line if Brohm never went to Louisville he wouldn't even consider them. But he did so if he wants to go home nothing going to stop that

All time wins? Lol. Who gives a $hit about that? Purdue used to be in a conference with University of Chicago. Those wins mean so much.

Very fair point, however , and maybe this is just me, I got the feeling that you guys think that way with all things being equal.

Stupid post.

Steve Alford is a Hoosier native, legend, and IU graduate.
He wanted the Louisville basketball job.

Brohm would be on Louisville's list regardless of where he is from.

Coming into this season, Louisville had the third best conference record since
joining the AcC.

Keep up that lame talking point.

 

[zipp]

There's little chance in our situation Brohm would consider a move to U of L if it wasn't for personal ties.

Any U of L fans arguing otherwise are making the rational part of our fanbase look bad...

Oh, I almost forgot the quality of conference UL has been in...LOL

Over the years, Louisville has competed in the Kentucky Intercollegiate Athletic Conference, the Ohio Valley Conference, the Missouri Valley Conference, the Metro Conference, Conference USA, and the Big East Conference. The KIAC, the OVC, the MVC and the Big East are still around, the others have been relegated to ash heap of conference realignments.

Killer stuff there.....

No $hit...that’s why all time wins are stupid. Thanks for making my point.

Yeah, just what I thought, don’t let the facts of a good argument get in the way of name calling...

Exactly, over 100 years of big ten football is not equal to..., whatever conferences you guys have been in...and we still have comparable records is why we’re a better program.

 

[STLNBSE]

You know it’s gotten bad when we accept that we are equals of Purdue!

I guess we’ll see which program your boy thinks is better. That’s all that matters right now.

You are failing logic class. Congrats on that great 1937 season though!!!

And Purdue has always had to play Michigan, Ohio State, Iowa, Michigan State, and several other legit programs for a long period of time. Louisville didn’t have to play that quality of competition for the majority of their existence.

He’d be on your list but he wouldn’t give you serious consideration.

You never heard of Amos Alonzo Stagg?

 

[KerryRhodes]

So the last 10 years, Louisville has had 2 losing seasons and are now in the ACC.
The job is plenty attractive.

Last 10 Purdue has had how many losing seasons ?

Purdue won 9 games in 4 seasons.
Louisville won 9 games in 2016.

You should be grateful that a Louisville alum rescued yalls program.

It’s attractive but if not for his personal connection to the school, I think most folks would consider that a lateral move at best.

You try winning more than 9 games in 4 years with D. Hazell...

How many conference titles has UL ever won? Really mystifying why any of you think it’s some great destination school

The Metro did not have football, Mr. Know It All. Louisville competed as an independent in football during their Metro Conference days.

 

[KerryRhodes]

Been there.
Steve Kragdud. 2007-2009. Horrible football.

 

[ShortCreek]

The Cards situation in the ACC is much more conducive to winning big than Purdue’s setup in the Big 10.

Kerry, I congratulate you on your career. Johnny was one of the grestest of his era. My first NFL game
pitted Johnny against Bart Starr, another pretty fair QB. However, Purdue is the “Cradle of Quarterbacks”
With three winning Super Bowl QB’s including two HOFers and another who is a “Lock”. Their names are Len Dawson, Bob Griese and Drew Bree’s. Purdue quarterbacks have started more games, completed more passes and thrown more touchdown passes than any other school and it is not even close. NFL Quarterbacks from Purdue include Dawson, Griese, Brees, Mike Phipps, Gary Danielson, Mark Herrmann, Scott Campbell, Jim Everett, Kyle Orton and Curtis Painte. The first great passing duo in the NFL was the Packers’ Cecil Isbell from Purdue and Alabama’s Don Hutson.
As for the Big Ten, it is the oldest Intercollegiate sports association in the country and the only one which has never lost a member institution who left to become a member of another conference.

A Louisville alum didn't save Purdues program. Purdues new AD made the program attractive and gave a good coach everything needed to win. That's who saved the program.

How so? The programs seem very comparable.

A) never said they did
B) the comparison was conference affiliation
C) copied this from a UL website, not my info...

There, and now you know the rest of the story...

Len Dawson stole it from my Vikings.
Brees also stole it from Vikings in the NFC Championship game.

Until Montana and Brady came along, Unitas was considered the greatest NFL QB.

Thats a very impressive stable of QBs.
No one will quibble with the prestige of the Big10.

As of today, Louisville has been the better program the last 30 yrs.
This disaster is a 1 yr abberation.
The right coach can get this team bowl eligible and competing
for the ACC Atlantic.

We believe that Coach is Brohm.

This is a football board. The METRO CONFERENCE has ZERO to do with UofL Cardinal football. To bring up conference affiliation in a discussion about UofL football and include the Metro Conference makes you look uninformed and stupid. Which you are.

You never heard of Amos Alonzo Stagg?

The big “stadium” at UC is named after him. It certainly was the site of some great Big 10 football.
