Oh gotcha. What would we have to pay? We got a million from Louisville I think.
Not according to this ESPN report:
$12 million.
With the soon-to-be loss of USC and UCLA the PAC10 stands to become an "also ran" conference.
It would be hard on IU if Penix came here.
To me the first question that needs answered is boninski wanting to keep the key staff guys on board. If that's the case a coordinator like Shepard makes sense. Especially since he was here not long ago. If not or it's not a deal breaker then I would prefer a hc with a record of success like wake or tulanes coach. No way we get Washington's coach and the more I think about monken the less I would like him vs Shepard who can recruit, has ties to indiana, ties to purdue, recruits, high energy, and would look at purdue as a destination.
Bobinksi wants experience. No offense but one year of co-AHC and 7 years of P5 position coaching mostly under a coach with not a special system doesn’t quite get there. It would be different if it was under something like the Shanahan coaching tree. I think a Deboer HC, Shephard OC, and the rest of his staff would be more realistic. Maybe retaining of Hagan since Deboer is the offensive mastermind but he has brought his defensive staff with him the last few stops.
Understood. We only get $1m for Brohm. A tough pill to swallow and will require a major donor(s) to step up but we’ve gotten that much from the Rorhmans and Dick Buell so you just don’t know.
That 1M buyout for Brohm was a total fumble by Bobinski. Everyone knew this day was coming and this really puts us at a bind in a lot of ways. Finding extra money to pay the next guys buyout costs time and resources at a point where you’re behind the eight ball.
Wasn’t a fumble. Brohm’s agent, Jeff Brohm, insisted on that during the negotiations, for reasons that were obvious to all.
Guess it’s a good thing Brohm and his agent didn’t insist ok $10M a year salary or Bobinski would have been screwed.
Why is this so hard for you to understand? Brohm wanted to be able to take the UL job should it come open again. This was plain for all to see…. Well almost all.
This. I’m grateful he passed on his first opportunity and took us where he did. We knew this would happen the day we hired him. The rest of the terms seemed reaosonabke.
Purdue had no leverage when that was negotiated
I think people forget how insanely great 2017 and 2018 were compared to 2013-2016.
I agree when this happened the first time with Louisville they had zero leverage but his extension was negotiated in early 2022 and would have been an opportunity to renegotiate that buyout. It’s a risk to the business that the AD allowed to continue and has now blown up in their face.
Once that was there no takesies backsies. Also, we almost had the same thing happen last off-season. This was an inevitability
Still no leverage, after the successful 2021 season, Music City Bowl, plus Satterfield being on the hot seat.
