Normally I am a fan of Dan Dakich. Generally he passes on good information and overall is fair to the Purdue fan base. Today on his show he started out by saying it may not happen and when I checked back in right before he went off the air he said Brohm is gone, no chance he stays, and asks why he would stay at Purdue. Kyle said something about more pressure at Louisville and Dan said no way. They just fired their most successful coach in their history for one bad year (and only sub .500 year). Purdue fans want him to get him a huge raise and lock him into a long deal right at .500. Dan doesn’t know much about Purdue football and their history or much about Brohm and his situation. My guess is that his source said they were getting money together and were going to offer him on that day and t was a done deal. Louisville fans are so arrogant that they think there is not a chance he would say no. What is not being taken into account is that he loves Purdue. Purdue isn’t WKU where they just can’t compete with facilities and staff pay. Going to Louisville doesn’t give him a better chance to win. Purdue is more set up now and with the ‘19 class. If the NFL is the dream job, Purdue is without a doubt the best choice and it isn’t close. The question is how much does nostalgia weigh in on his decision.
I don’t think it’s a done deal and anybody that says it is would be lying. Brohm may ultimately leave, but it isn’t a lock by any stretch. If he does bails after telling his players he was staying then that’s on him. I definitely don’t think he wants to leave and I think Purdue will match any offer Louisville can muster.
