Question: What we have isn’t and hasn’t been working. My question is this. Is Brohm too tough or not tough enough in your opinion. This team overall doesn’t give a damn. You can see it in how they carry themselves and play. Thoughts?

I hope you’re right but it looks much more “internal” to me.
Internal all the way.
Why I don't know. It's often because don't feel that they are treated fairly, but many of the players body language says " we sure as heck ain't happy ".
I have always enjoyed being the underdog a little and taking those guys that work hard and are excited to be Boilers. When we start recruiting “shoe guys” as DD calls them then we are in trouble. Not that we don’t need a few but not a team full. I just want the kids to be proud to be Boilermakers and play with that pride.
I loved Keady. Got the absolute most out of what he had. But what you've just stated is why he never made it to a Final Four. Part of being a great coach is managing the egos.Had a great conversation with Coach Keady shortly after the Luther Clay debacle several years ago. He literally said he was done chasing the big brass ring. If it comes, it comes. His team goals were getting good character kids who wanted to work hard. Winning B1G conference championships came first. Call me old school but I still love that theory.
Agreed. No one outside of your school cares who wins conference championships.I loved Keady. Got the absolute most out of what he had. But what you've just stated is why he never made it to a Final Four. Part of being a great coach is managing the egos.
I completely agree. I think some of these opt outs may help fix some of that. Based on Brohm’s comments he felt that some weren’t buying in. I believe he spoke with some of these guys and told them buy in or opt out. Don’t want guys happy about not playing , but can’t have Dudes not buying in and showing a coach up. Sometimes it’s addition by subtraction. Not saying I wouldn’t want those dudes back , but to opt out now with all the protection /treatments they have here from COVID says something of their maturity , or lack there of.Internal all the way.

He’s been Trolling on the KHC. Gets called out /ripped and decided to come over here. Typically starts bad threads.Whatever .. he made a bad DC hire.. If this is the real Davek you couldn’t wait to say that lol about anyone

That’s exactly the difference between old school and new school. Fans my age and older, I just turned 59, are the last of the radio generation. I don’t give two shits about national voters or Clemson. I know I’m a dinosaur but I’m much more interested in watching and caring about the B1G.Agreed. No one outside of your school cares who wins conference championships.
I am 68 and think like you dnly one team can win a national title so winning your conference championship should be something to be proud of.Is there anybody on this board that would rather see a BIG team other than Purdue win the league title?The Boilermakers twenty four basketball titles are something I am very happy about. Boiler up!That’s exactly the difference between old school and new school. Fans my age and older, I just turned 59, are the last of the radio generation.

Who is the stud dual threat QB. Enlighten me.This has been an odd year. We are a few plays away from being a 1 loss team or even still undefeated. On the other hand it also shows that we don't have the juice that other teams do to win in the later stages of a game.
I can see the changes starting though, We are bringing in a dual threat QB in this years class which will give us more options to extend plays. The Diaco hire was a train wreck. We never have the athletes to run a proper 3-4. I think we are stuck with him for one more year. If you develop a reputation for firing coordinators you won't get a good one in the future.
There have been some terrible play calls and that's directly on Brohm. I still think he's the guy here though. I think people forget the absolute train wreck that Purdue was before he arrived. He must show results ASAP though. You can tell that people are beginning to sour on him now. You must find ways to grind out wins in close games.
That's the difference between us being where we are today vs being ranked. To get there if that means getting rid of guys who haven't bought in then so be in.
