Not sure I agree that every coach Purdue looks at has to be an air-it-out type. Lot of that just has to do with your personnel.
Largely because of CJB, Purdue is in a better position now than before to keep this thing from turning into a bidding war. Bobinski needs to take the bull by the horns and move forward at a pace that is fair to CJB and the program.
I think it is pretty unlikely that Purdue does much to sweeten Brohm's comp this time. My sense from the totality of the reporting is that the administration has basically decided that it is time for Brohm to fish or cut bait with UL, and it is not going to allow UL to be a basis for renegotiating his comp every couple of years. Especially, when UL by its own admission is unlikely to be able to offer a comp package that is on par with what Purdue is paying.
I say pay him whatever is needed to keep him. It's not like it's coming out of anyone's pocket. There's a reason the best coaches make the most money.
That sounds like the Colletto and Haze plan of, “hey let’s control the line of scrimmage and run the ball like we did when I was at Ohio State.”
To a certain point I agree, but this cycle of paying more to hold off CJB's move to Uof L can be a constant negative for the the Purdue Program....
Players we have never successfully recruited at Purdue, at least not in my lifetime.
I concur. I want him to stay but I don't want to do this every 3 years and renegotiate based on the cloud of Louisville in the air.
right, remember Rob Henry at QB? We would need to battle the big boys for the OL and they don’t grow on trees in Indiana. Strength and Development program would need to be in place. It took Michigan a few years to get where they are. NIL battle would be heavy for those type of players now.
All the good Purdue teams in my lifetime won games by out-throwing the opposition.
My thoughts too. No news is good news I suppose. I would expect this to be wrapped up by the end of the week.
Mine either and I’ve been around a long time. Don’t understand why they can’t or maybe they don’t try to based on the style of play.
I don't know about the administration, but that's how I would feel in their place. I think those rumors that seemed strange a while back have at least some truth to them; this is starting to look like it was, indeed, set in motion a while ago (and it sounds like Louisville was kind of the instigator by trying to force Satterfield out). I don't really have any ill will towards Brohm or Louisville. I appreciate Brohm resuscitating us from the dead and I understand Louisville trying to do what's best for themselves. I hope Purdue's next coach can keep us from collapsing back into the abyss.
I agree with this completely. If he wants to be gone, let him go. He's not THAT good that he needs to get paid $7MM a year, which is what's being rumored from UofL.
It’s just unlikely that we’re going to consistently beat out ND, OSU, and Michigan for those kids. There have been a bunch of big time OLs come out of the metro Indy area the last few years that we’ve gone after, and they’ve all gone to ND or OSU.
Obviously we’d all love to get a Bryce Young or Caleb Williams type.
Louisville board saying it’s about done and should expect announcement tomorrow or Thursday with presser most likely friday
Feel like I've heard this somewhere before.
Be interesting to see how UofL pays Jeff $7MM and still has enough to pay for decent assistant salaries.
Maybe MBob gives some of the key assistants big raises, starting with Hagen ?
I'd like to see Shephard come home as either HC or OC and Hagen as DC. Spend the money on great coordinators, assistants, and recruiters...stop having the HC call plays.
There are run blocking O-lines and ther are pass protection O-lines. Drew's line was the latter (hence why they did the entire Speedo "Lifeguard" schtick). Part of those guys ended up at New England, where they ended up protecting one of the greatest passers of all time, and that wasn't by mistake.
Shephard did a good job in Washington this year helping with that offense and QB Penix. He would bring some excitement on the sidelines and the recruiting trail.
Becuase brohm is football royalty in Louisville and the amount of booster money that would pour into the program will be the highest we’ve ever seen
