As you all know, Cards fans fully expect Jeff Brohm to come home and salvage our once proud football program. What transpired this year and how it came to be under Bobby Petrino will be studied and written about in the years to come. It was simply a mindboggling turn of events that we Cards fans haven't seen since those three seasons under Steve Kragthorpe.
It's our former coach I reference to make all Boilermakers fans truly aware of just where this program is in the pecking order of college football and more importantly, it's fans. We know Purdue has a proud tradition as well and in no way do I think one program is superior than the other. You guys have the longer resume of big time football while we are only in our 5th season of power conference football. We do have however a stronger winning culture going back at least 10 years and probably 20.
This years breaks the Cards streak of eight straight bowls which include wins at the Music City over Texas A&M, the Sugar over Florida, and the Citrus over Miami. The Cards record over that 8 season stretch is 71 - 33.
We Cards fans expect to win. We expect to field many players who make it in the NFL. The culture around here is that we are as close as any school to becoming a elite in football and men's basketball. The football program until this season was a team that every opposing coach worked double time to limit our offensive capabilities. We fully expect that whoever decides to be the next coach, we will be back sooner than later.
If JB stays with you guys, congrats! It shows his loyalty to finish a job he started. If he comes home, the only person you should be angered at is Bobby Petrino.

And of course we won the Heisman with Lamar Jackson.
And before that three year stretch under Kragthorpe (2007-09) the Cardinals had 9 straight bowl appearances since the disastrous Ron Cooper era. That's missing a bowl only 4 times in the last 21 years.We Cards fans expect to win. We expect to field many players who make it in the NFL.
