Got banned over there for trying to post this in response to their original thread
“Before I start I want to get this out of the way. Yes I’m a Purdue fan posting on an IU forum about Purdue. It’s May and there is literally nothing going on so I might as well be checking in here too to see what IU is up to recruiting and otherwise. I’ll “go back home” after I post this and I won’t go all crazy with my post.
With that being said I want to sum up your stats in an easy to understand way.

Edge Brohm
So to sum it up, Brohm is .500 across the board. Against the “daunting” BIG East and the “soft” BIG West. He is also .500 against a pretty stout lineup of P5 OOC opponents. Sure a .500 record after 2 years isn’t anything to write home about for most programs, but any program coming off a 9-39 stretch is going to be ecstatic with a 2 year span of .500 while showing momentum for future improvements.
CTA is .417, not bad, but not great either. He is actually worse against the “soft” BIG West that you all always whine about than he is against the East! Who would imagine that?! If you took the BIG West out of his record he would be 9-9, or .500, and match Brohm! He also has a bit of a boost from the easier OOC schedules IU typically faces. Not a dig at IU, just an honest analysis of the facts, he has played a third as many OOC P5 games as Brohm. But he has also won all his OOC games, which is what should be expected of a BIG coach so I have to give him some respect for that for sure.
Overall both coaches have performed at levels our two programs can’t complain about. Sure we all would like our programs to be better, but historically speaking we’ve had a few solid years with these two coaches. However, I would say that looking at the records, Brohm has been the better coach so far.
That’s just the opinion of a humble Boiler (or “Broilee” to put it in terms y’all understand
) so take it for what it’s worth to you.”
