Actually less than most people thought. I guess this shows the Louisville offer wasn’t as much as their fans led us to believe.
Money well spent IMO.
Terrible take, lol.Purdue is going to regret this contract within 2 years. That is win the West money, and the West ain't getting any easier. What a great deal for him.
Let's elaborate then. He's now the highest paid coach in the West including incentives. So where is the bar set at? What happens when he goes 6-6 or 7-5 next season? How long will that be acceptable? He hasn't even had any turnover at the most important position on the field (QB) during his tenure. I get fans are excited about what he's done in 2 years but it's a new ball game with that contract. I'm interested to see how long the Honeymoon lasts.Terrible take, lol.

He is just now (classes 2018 and 2019) getting his type of recruits that he has been wanting to get, and they are young, so a 6-6 or 7-5 is very possible next year. People seem to forget that we are still digging out of the Hazell era. It might be different in a couple of years, if that is still the case, but I don’t believe it will be. I think we can win the West in 2020. I think it is possible this year if everything goes our way.Let's elaborate then. He's now the highest paid coach in the West including incentives.

Finally a University with Leadership that pays and wants to win. Congratulations coach. Very excited about Purdue football.

I’m looking forward to that!That's 9 -10 win every year money.
But hey ..He had leverage..
As long as there is incremental improvement, our butts will be in the stands. Don’t need a microwaved Rose Bowl. If we were lucky and it happened, that would be icing on the cake.Let's elaborate then. He's now the highest paid coach in the West including incentives. So where is the bar set at?

Fair responses. No ill will intended. Just stressing the point where things now get serious quickly. That’s not fringe bowl territory money. Leadership is all in and I can respect that. I think his work is cut out for him and at the moment I think Purdue grossly overpaid. Time will tell but this year will be tough when Fleck finishes better at half the price.

I’d rather grossly overpay and not have expectations reached than to let other schools poach coaches that have shown promise and have us never try to move the program forward.Fair responses.

I will admit I was going with you as a possible disgruntled Purdue fan til that last sentence about Fleck. Absolutely NO Purdue fan would have sent that sentence out onto the internet. No problem- it is allowed- this is after all a free board. Just out of curiosity, what school are you a fan of? Curious minds want to know.
I'd rather pay Brohm 8 million to be coach of Purdue than fleck 2 million to be coach of Purdue. Also, Brohm is better.Fair responses. No ill will intended.

PJ is that you? Thanks for visiting and take care with all that bad weather there in the twin cities. Oh and someday maybe you can earn a contract like Brohm’s. Stranger things have happened.That’s great. Just remember it’s much easier to come out of the toilet than it is to reach big boy level. He has his work cut out for him. You’re now paying (admin) for big boy level like it or not. Expectations will adjust sooner than later. Let’s see how he does when key positions turn over. Fleck has one of the best WR and RB units in the B1G coming back including 3 of his best players who sat out last season. Those are just the facts.
For what?Contract extension of 7 years at $5.25 per. Congrats Coach.
Woot woot!I’d rather grossly overpay and not have expectations reached than to let other schools poach coaches that have shown promise and have us never try to move the program forward.
There’s a reason a$$holes from other canvases have come over to talk about this...because they think of us as a threat and are worried. At the end of the day, we can afford the $5mil, it’s not my personal money so why do I really care?
I can’t name a guy better than Brohm willing to come to Purdue and coach for $5Mil or less...so again...who is it a bad move? Waiting for results to pay a guy...somebody is going to pay him first and snatch him out from under us. This would have already happened had we not have promised him this contract
I’m a Boat Rower and cautiously giddy about this upcoming season with something like 90% of our 2 deeps back. To be clear, had a good buddy go to Purdue as a student athlete and visited circa 2000. Really enjoyed my trip. I’d rather see Purdue do better than about 3-4 other teams in the West. Just like our guy and where our program is better at the moment.
Hi Full,That’s great. Just remember it’s much easier to come out of the toilet than it is to reach big boy level. He has his work cut out for him.

Obviously the trolls come out with the new contract. The fact remains that Purdue football was unwatchable under Hazel and Brohm has brought the excitement back. The school down south constantly talked about how Brohm would use Purdue as a stepping stone. Well, he has turned down at least 2 offers from other schools in as many years, and I don’t see other schools targeting Fleck or Allen. There is a reason for that no matter how much noise they make.
For bringing excitement back to Purdue Football.For what?
Three cheers. I'll second all of that.For bringing excitement back to Purdue Football.
For increased ticket sales.
For increased revenues from alumni
For national recognition program buzz
For getting guys like Rondale and George to buy in and come to Purdue.
For winning 9 big ten games in 2 years as opposed to 10 total in the last 6 years.
For putting Purdues name on the lists of players who would have probably never even given them thought.
For putting our recruiting back in the top 25
For not putting the program back at square one because the AD recognizes the value that this coach has and that others schools will gladly take him off our hands.
Those are just a few reasons why. CJB has become a known commodity you have to pay for that, and the athletic department can afford it.. Is there a chance this won't work out, of course but I'd say the decision is an educated one and our AD understands the market better than most.
Twin degrees does not follow Purdue football very closely. So he has no idea how bad of shape morgue and The Haze left the program in. So he therefore has no idea how great a job CJB has done in two years.For bringing excitement back to Purdue Football.

He doesn't necessarily have to be a better coach than all the others, he only has to be a better coach for Purdue's situation when it was totally bleak, and now, moving forward. $$'s, that's for others to decide and they have now spoken.
I can't answer whether or not someone else may have gone 6-6. Seems like the odds were against it even if Nick Saban would have taken over the roster.
