Does Brohm get a contract extension?

....because the question remains...was this year an anomaly or a trend...if next year he goes 8-4 minimum, then offer an extension... It's not like teams are banging on his door with offers ....He's not exactly a hot commodity.

You don’t do it because it’s warranted all other things equal. You do it to deter him from considering an offer to straight up leave .. once things are going well you don’t want to start over.. be it with brohm, lambert, hagen, English, shepherd etc
 
7 year, $36 million Contract and a $1.7 million signing bonus that runs thru 2025 season. That would make him in the top ten pay of college coaches....he doesn't deserve a raise until he can put together, at the very least, 2-3, 8+win regular seasons.

You overpay when you renegotiate when teams are knocking down his door. Do it now and you lock him up for more of a market value. No Indio would do that if he thinks it’s a good fit. I personally think it’s not a bad idea.
 
30,000 more tickets sold @ $20 = $600,000
Six home games = $3.6 M
$10 concessions each = $1.8 M

Delta Brohm over Hazell = $5.4 M per season.

This does not include JPC increases and any other giving/spending increases of alums/ticket holders.

If I'm Brohm's agent, I'm presenting this and saying my guy is woefully underpaid.

I would give the entire staff a nice bonus. I’m not in favor of giving a coach a new contract after every winning season. This years results were kind of the expected norm when we gave him his last contact extension. Just because he finally reached those expectations is no reason to renegotiate. With the philosophy of giving a new contract for a good year should we be asking for a refund for the previous three years when he was grossly overpaid?

Why? It’s how you keep them.. it’s not “fair”

This is idiotic. He’s going to get an EXTENSION not a new contract. The extension will include a modest increase for Brohm and more $ for assistants. Now is not the time to give Brohm and staff reasons to even think to leave. Purdue is on a good trajectory right now.
 
Louisville just went 6-6 and seem to be losing patience with Satterfield after getting trounced by rival Kentucky. I could see them making another push for Brohm if his buyout is low enough.

Especially when the coaching carousel seems it won’t stop spinning anytime soon.

How do you know that?

They rank #16 in the nation in AD revenue at $141 Million. #1 in the ACC.

It’s public knowledge Louisville’s Athletic Department is hugely in debt. They’ve spent $$$ on facilities, on salaries, and contract buyouts like drunken sailors. Purdue is in better shape than Louisville right now.

Revenue is the top line number. If you spend more than you make or have, you accumulate debt, which Louisville has over a number of years. They focus more on sports outside of football and MBB than many other schools do, too.

That is true, as well as the debt.
 
To be fair brohm hasn’t even had a fully assembled veteran team.. that will come next year
I wasn't really talking about Brohm. I was talking about Beorik, the reversible jacket fan (IU basketball/Purdue football).

I have no problem with a contract extension. Just not a huge payday...

As well as defending and settling lawsuits due to jackass ex head coaches...

You have to extend him for recruiting reasons anyway. We should pay a little extra to get an increased buyout, and to keep assistants. We don’t need to do what PSU or MSU did, but we do need to spend some money. We are making bank in the B1G, we need to keep the most important program thriving.

I like your approach .. no need to break the bank but you just wanna send the message “whatever you’re trying to make you can make it here.”
 
Also.. I think people who root for Purdue were sick of losing seasons already.. but I think it’s gonna be a long long long time before we are sick of 8-4 seasons .. I think if brohm can go for between 6-8 wins consistently he can operate in a pressure free environment
