Assuming we do move on from Bobby Petrino at the end of this season ...
It is very strange that the two head coaches for the revenue producing sports, will go through coaching searches with absolutely ZERO drama over who the choice will be. Usually, coaching searches result in a solid week or two of awesome message board activity. Not this time it would seem.
Chris Mack was a done deal before the search even started.
And Jeff Brohm seems to already be the guy in line to take over the reins for the football program.
(They are also about the same age - Mack born in Dec 1969, and Brohm in April 1971).
I'm not sure Brohm is as done a deal as everyone else - Jeff doesn't seem to be swayed by anyone but himself in making decisions, and he could decide to stay at Purdue for another couple years, seeing that project through. But it feels like the Chris Mack deal all over again.
The "fun" in the coaching search will start if Jeff DOES decide to stay at Purdue. Then this message board can spend time breaking down the candidates, finding the pro's and con's with each guy out there who would be our next football coach.
I know my preference would be for a younger coach, who is hungry for success, and carries with him a nice dose lf a$$-hole with him. Brohm fits this criteria. But there are probably a dozen other guys out there that also fit this.
