A couple of things:
Tuesday evening (I think this story came out on Wednesday) Brohm was at the Purdue -v- Butler baseball game. If you live in the area, you definitely see him out and engaged in the community. This may be apropos of nothing, but just an example of him being at activities that he doesn't have to be.
Second, what do people expect him to say? I get asked about my interest in positions all of the time. 95% of the time, I'm not really interested, but I will almost never say 'no' without hearing the other side out. Brohm dismissing his interest completely limits his ability to potentially negotiate future salary/compensation and steer his own destiny. Brohm does not seem like he's purely interested in cash, but why would one deliberately torpedo one of the major leverage items that they have? In his profession, you are compensated first for your performance and second to keep you from going elsewhere. Eliminate the second one and you've cut 50% of your negotiating power.
Third, I absolutely get the pull of friends and family back to the area that you're from. I can imagine that this is a pretty big deal for him. Think about it, you're a super highly compensated individual with a high visibility position. How hard would it be to establish close relationships (beyond the people you work with) in a new community where you have zero foundation? Obviously he still has a lot of friends and family in Louisville and surrounding area. Do you expect a guy to just turn this off? This will either get to a tipping point for him to leave, or it won't. There's not too much that we, Bobinski, or anyone else can do to solve this one. To think that he should just slam this door to make the people on forums like this feel more secure, well, that's just plain dumb thinking.
For those that think that he just shouldn't have voiced things the way he did, he's a pretty straight shooter and for those that complain about him being pretty cagey, I think he was just being honest. Could you imagine completely filtering every single thing that you say 24-7? You see the attempts in filtering in politics and where has that gotten us in that realm?
If he were to leave Purdue for another college program, Louisville is probably about the only one that would have the pull to grab him. If he leaves for Louisville, it will be for the intangibles that Purdue simply can't compete with (friends, family, alma mater). NFL may be another story, though.
