I think the timing just really sucked with Brohm only 2 years into his commitment, and that above all formed his decision.
That said.... he should have decided more quickly, and his dragging out his decision will cause the most lasting damage to his image in the city. If it is true that he had assistants actively recruiting in the city during this period, that is a very bad look as well. He could have avoided the perception of stringing along Louisville for a raise and undercutting the program by acting more quickly.
The year's recruiting class is DOA. Brohm was our only chance of salvaging a decent class. Time to pick over the scraps since none of the young coaches (no matter how good they are) will be able to bring over P5-level recruits with them. This will set back the program at least 2 years since a new young coach will have to prove themselves before top recruits will see the program as a viable option.
The whole situation sucks. We shouldn't be in this position, but we are. We have no choice now. We are going to have to start over from scratch so be prepared for the long haul.
