Lol - ok. And you are a sad little whussy who most likely created an email account to get a user name to come here and get self righteous.
I like my place in the world better than yours little buddy.
Please stop crucifying the man. Life presents tough choices.

Brohm is being crucified because how it handle this process not for deciding to stay.
I just now read this. Thanks for sharing it Mean Mr Mustard.
By the way, are you a Beatles fan? Me too! Maybe I should change my user name to "Walrus". Anyway, I think Paul has the best advice for all of us in regards to the Brohm decision - "Let it Be".

Well they’ll definitely be another year older but I get your gist
I think the likes of Wilson, hall, becton, avery, atwell, Etheridge, greenard, hicks, bell, Peterson, Bentley, and a few others give us a good starting point. I'll take a 4-8, 5-7 season next year, get the scheme changed and a few recruiting classes. 2020 we have every opportunity to be better than .500 and back to 8-9+ team shortly thereafter.
You know a few years ago predicting we’d win 4-5 games would get you run off the board, but i agree, if anyone expects any more than that, they will be extremely disappointed.

I like the Brohms, but I'm not sure how much we'll miss Jeff's coaching. He loses too many games that leave me scratching my head. The big question is whether "Vince" can get lucky finding a good replacement.
Brohm simply took the higher offer, and "Vince" could have offered him more money but didn't. So some of our fans will be a little butthurt for awhile longer...

There will be some that are butt hurt, but the majority realize 6 million is just way too much for jeff. Hell, 5 is high for him, you have to draw a line some where. The majority that are hurt over this, are hurt probably because we thought UofL meant more to Jeff, especially more than a 2 year relationship to purdue. Oh well.
Yes. This is a much better summary of the decision than what the poster immediately prior to this posted.
Let's move on.
Said it weeks ago, that I didnt believe he had shown enough, yet, to warrant 6million.
I am just hopeful we name a coach early this week. We have to see if there is any possibility of flipping some of these louisville kids. Probably not, but cant hurt.

We weren't in that bad of shape, but when every team on your schedule (except FSU) hangs 50+ on you, that is as bad as it gets.
Jeff had is chance! Now we start the Scott Satterfield ERA at Louisville. I look forward as he is a great hire.
I dont think we even need to bring Jeff up anymore. We have OUR coach that wanted to be here. Full-on support and some patience and I think he can turn this thing around!
Well for the microwave society folks I guess our program is just garbage now, but for the realistic fans, we realize we’ve experienced success within the last couple years. One bad year does not put your program in bad shape. If we were in that bad of shape, Satterfield would have said the same thing to uofl that he did Georgia Tech, which is “not interested.” Keep your head up, the sky isn’t falling.
He could have gotten his raise through the back door. All he had to do was tell his AD "I might talk to UL".
Nobody would have known, and he'd still be considered "honorable".
But he chose to make it public.
JB joined the ranks of "Just another FB coach" when he used us.

Absolutely. All the crocodile tears after the fact are just spin to try and mitigate the poor way that he handled the situation and as importantly, distract purdoo and the boils from the fact that he just fleeced them out of an extra 2M per year.
The timing of all things considered, where U of L was in relation to where JB was in his career just didn’t make it a fit. It happens. But out of respect from both sides, they had to sit down and talk. No assumptions, just facts.
I don’t think AD Tyra felt that way at all. He felt that his discussions with JB were very serious and then he got rejected. JB used UofL to feather his own nest pure and simple. If he had really “felt all that bad” then he could have gone back to PU and just continued to work at his present salary. After all he is only 6-6 with the possibility of finishing with a losing record. No way he was worth what he was offered and that amount proved that AD Tyra was very serious about UofL’s offer. Perhaps JB wasn’t.
GO CARDS - BEAT EVERYBODY!!! God Bless America!!!
"Vince" obviously didn't get the job done. I'd argue it's because he didn't do his homework and/or size up the situation properly.
And even if I believed it really happened, getting played is as much an indictment of him as it is Brohm...
I believe JB missed the opportunity to coach his alma mater. Pretty simple. Coaches move around all the time and if JB really wanted to coach here then he blew his chance. I have serious doubts that opportunity will come up again for JB.

Pretty difficult to think that UofL would have considered Brohm if not for the "connection"...
If OUR AD hadn't pursued Brohm, the fan base would have revolted. Now, Brohm has what he wants, and most of us are excited with Satterfield and pleased with Tyra. Let it Be!
Well I haven't been enamored with Brohm based purely on his coaching record. But suffice to say, most fans here disagree(d) with that POV. And I'll lay you dollars to donuts that "Vince" did too. Any P5 coach who has been deemed successful to this point should have been on U of L's list of candidates.
I was simply responding to a "Brohm used U of L" remark which I think is offbase. Convince others to stop talking about Brohm, and I might as well...
Maybe he does.
My problem is, he apparently didn't develop this loyalty until he knew what we were offering, and PU could counter. His "loyalty" should have been proclaimed the day we fired BP.
That's why I now say JB is "just another coach". Nothing special as he will go to the highest bidder too.
Now, I will give him credit for being smart.
How often can .500 coach in America manage to make himself a top ten paid coach?
The bad part is, now the REAL pressure is on.
ESPN reported it, we didn’t.
Go away!!! Purdue stands for mediocre sports and job security for any average coach. Should be re-nicknamed “average Joe’s”.
Agree 100%, those stars won’t align again - nor should they after the snub.
