Which, we are catering to the player we can get. So there is that….
Brohms best defense was the one he inherited, correct?
Indiana State at Purdue: MASTER DISCUSSION THREAD

- Start date
Brohms best defense was the one he inherited, correct?
So we have a starting OL that, when healthy, is good, but undersized likely compared to bigger big ten teams. And an OL that cannot run block, though, that may have been Brohms scheme or stubbornness to utilize the run game. Maybe it’s the latter as it cost Purdue multiple games under Brohm.
DL would have been fairly decent. LBers would have been bad. DB’s? Did Brohm have any DB’s? Hard to say theineman would have had the same impact. Good yes, great, probably not.
Walters, Bobinski and Purdue think we CAN get those better players.
I'll go with them. If he fails, he fails. But nothing wrong with wanting better players for a better programs than just doing good enough. Managed expectations and all that: no thanks.
Brohm never intended to stay at Purdue. He owned a home in Louisville during the entire time he was coaching at Western Ky and Purdue and that's where he's living right now. Heck, he openly said that he was planning to coach at Louisville some day. He should never have been hired.
When Brohm left he flipped a couple of recruits from Purdue to Louisville and he also got a couple of Purdue players through the portal. Some of you guys just don't know when you've been duped.

Not sure of the genesis of this argument with you two, but come on man…
Brohm was finishing at Purdue before the portal really became brazen and ramped up. There wasn’t anyone flat offering someone’s dad 850k a house and a truck.
Purdue will always be hard pressed just to keep from having a talent deficit under these conditions. Players like Scourton will be bought, but at best, what comes in will be decent p4 talent or high pff graded players from g5.
Who do you think Purdue is buying? The guys who came in who graded high on off were g5 guys. The Georgia guys had very little resume there. Jamarius dinkins graded at 73.3 last year at Kentucky, but only only 89 total snaps
And actively recruited purdues roster after last season.
MY 2 cents, Walters got a late start, some players left, didn't have much time to recruit, had some bad injuries, he was new to being a head coach. Did he and staff make mistakes last year, yes they did, but Walters did pretty well in the Portal and recruiting, and i believe he learned alot during his first year as head coach. Seems like you are either a Purdue fan and want Walters to do well, or for whatever reason you don't like him and can't wait for him to fail so you can say i told you so. The man has one year , takes more than that to show what a coach can do. Most of us want Walters to succeed , and its gets old hearing how bad a coach he is , when has only been at Purdue one year.
To be a good coach at Purdue historically is to be Brohm yes? The guy who left with a 36-34 record.
Which means a good result is to average 6 wins. That means sometimes you get 4 wins (like Brohm did) and sometimes 8 (like Brohm did) and sometimes 6 (like Brohm did).
Brohm wasn't getting 8 wins either last year or this year.
So, a couple of 6 wins seasons is right in line with "good" coach Brohm.
Also he had pretty crap recruiting his last two years here. Almost as if once AOC was gone, so was he.
Who? He only grabbed Allen and Miller after they were told they wouldn’t start by Walters after the spring.
I think he only took 2 or 3 recruits with him as well.
Who was he actively recruiting?
Purdue paid that Brohm goon millions of dollars to recruit players for Purdue. Very basic ethics dictate that Purdue should have been the one and only school that he should not poach/flip/recruit against after quitting - he wasn't fired, he quit.
As I said above, some of you guys don't know when you have been duped.
It was reported he went after Mock both when he left and last off-season. I’m sure the lineman you mentioned earlier were of interest.
Because it doesn’t tell you what you want it to tell you. What do you think the chances are that pff and the Kentucky coaches who only played him 89 snaps are wrong, and he’s really a top tier SeC talent?
It is buying. Acquisition. Call it what you want. Once Purdue doesn’t have instant playing time to hand out they will likely struggle just to retain talent
So he did the same thing every other college coach does when they leave.
You clearly have never agenda…lol.
So you don’t think they win more games early on if they are following another decent coach and not Darrell hazell? If Jeff Brohm was following another coach like Jeff Brohm, you honestly think his starting DEs in 2018 would have been Kai Higgins and geo Reviere?
Well, you're right about one thing. I have never agenda.
Your analogy is absurd. "Every other college coach" who leaves is usually someone who was fired. The Purdue commits and current players should have been strictly off limits to this Brohm creature.
I watch football because it's fun. I don't watch so I can spout numbers at people.
You have this creepy way of picking fights with people where there isn't one. I don't generally engage with you because I don't care about PFF, which obviously you do. That's fine and all, but don't drag me into that nonsense.
Football is fun. Figuring which OL graded over blah blah blah is not.
Love this post. What did us “old school “ fans have Purdue football before the internet and message boards? Maybe a few articles in the Journal and Courier and thats about it. Only people I argued with was visiting fans in the stands at RA.
You’re trying to make it about someone else because you can’t just discuss ideas.
6 wins this season COULD lead me to believe that the rebuild is complete and Walters is the guy.
I think ND is going to be rough. 38-17 or worse. A LOT of people who are silent now will come out of the woodwork angry that Bobinski fired brohm.
They have to rebound against Oregon state. If they escape Corvallis with a win I think they’ll have a shot at 6.
They have a chance. They have to demonstrate that they can make ND pay if they stack the box. Then they have to make the QB for ND beat them with his arm. If they do all that and he can’t beat them with his arm, they’ll have a chance to win late. All other things equal. If they lose the turnover battle and don’t get a massive swing in their favor, no chance
When did Bobinski fire Brohm? Is this guy for real? For someone who says he know everything, how can he be so clueless?
Do you have inside knowledge on Purdue's NIL situation? There’s a recent quote from Walters saying Purdue is now much more competitive with NIL, but you seem to be a big naysayer of that concept.

He’s acknowledged Walters has more to spend than previous coaches did and has fund raised a lot of it himself. Good for him.
All that said…relative to our peers in the conference, it’s still not THAT much. What we can sell would be 3 fold. 1. Opportunity to play. 2. Modest NIL. 3. A Winning brand of football - obviously we are not there yet.
If we can do those things over the next 2 years we can be well positioned to be at least competitive at the highest level of college football. If not, welll…we’ll be starting over and those kids Walters brought in will likely not stick around.
Can you please provide a link talking about our current NIL situation? I haven't been able to find anything saying it is good, bad, or modest.
The collective, as of a couple months ago, was getting close to 10 mil. That was from an interview with their president. I think Neubert or Tim has mentioned football is around 7.5 this year.
