We bought in a gunslinger from Wyoming We had Billy DIcken at Qb and a whole bunch of 2-3 star talent on offense but somehow a offensive genius Joe T beat ND on NationalTV and took us to 9 wins vs 3 loss season. We scored over 40, 4 times and played good defense. Well we are more then ready for a repeat performance by Jeff B. He has the offense to repeat our efforts of some 20 years ago. His recruiting efforts to get help in the areas of need to score in the 40's once again are greatly appreciated. Getting the two JC kids will help immediately. For some reason after watching some WKU games this year I know he is a far superior coach then past staff and will get these young men ready to contribute on the field sooner then later. Would we settle for 9 wins again, heck yes but 6 would maybe get the foundation of a statue of JB started!! lol Boiler up
20years ago.....
- Thread starter goodboiler
- Start date
Tiller inherited 16 players that would go on and play in NFL. You probably know better than me but I don't see Brohm inheriting any where close to that.
Most of these kids were coached up under the Tiller system and benefited a great deal........If Jimbo coached these kids for another 2-3 years, most probably would have never made it.
16? Where did you see that? Seems way high.
Nwokorie, Okeafor, Colvin, Light, Gorin, Hawthorne, Okobi... who am I missing?
I'll pull it from my post history but I've stated it many times. I fight this fight quite often
You are missing quite a few. I should get this pinned at the top so every time someone references "if Tiller can do it, so can Brohm".

That's 16 and Dicken and Willie Fells both played in CFL.
Hey, what's wrong with you?!?! There is NO place for optimism on this board! (I applied to join the Lafayette Optimist Club . . . .
but I don't think I'll get in!)

Daniels suffered 2 neck injuries with Tampa. Blackman was on Colts active roster but didn't play. The rest played in games with many having significant careers.
IN 1997 the younger guys redshirted or never played br
i agree well said
Technically, I believe there was a freshman QB on that team named Brees. I think he went on to play a few games in the NFL too.
