Is Brohm worth $6M per year?
- Thread starter g_Rant
- Start date
Is this a serious question? Of course he is.
Where is this 6 million figure coming from? I have not found any reliable source quoting it.
Yes. I do question whatever amount your employer pays you though.
Only when you aren’t spending all of your other revenue paying former philandering coaches, lawyers, corrupt ADs, etc.
For us, right now.......yes.
Not really for a Big Ten team
Congrats on keeping Jeff. I will continue to pull for you guys. I have no idea how 6 Power 5 wins a year gets you 6 mil but Im happy for you guys. I will never forget that OSU shakedown. Good luck with that big10 championship.Believe it or not most UL fans pull for Purdue. Who the hell else would we pull for Indiana, Ohio State, yeah right. Don't worry about us . We'll be back. Too much financial support to fail. Go Cards
Just as I predicted: butthurt Louisville fans coming over to our board and claiming we are going to overpay CJB. LOL.
I had not seen anything on contract terms, but when we are in the Big Ten Championship game in a couple year; I am going to say yes, if that is the terms.
When you factor in how bad the Purdue football program was when Brohm took over a roster of MAC caliber talent, 13 wins in the first 2 years is remarkable. With a top 25 recruiting class coming in and the program foundation being layed, you pay the man and his staff. No brainer.
This year’s atrocious Louisville team had guys on the bench with more natural talent than several of Purdue’s starters. That’s how.
Well when you factor in that we paid The Haze $12 million to wreck our football program, it seems like a bargain.
Having a coach like hazell is what really depletes the coffers. Brohm will more than pay for his salary each year with ticket sales and donations. Mitch knows money and would have spent more if needed because it makes financial sense.
Don’t forget the prostitutes on retainer + a former President embezzling a load of $$$’s as well.
Purdue has plenty of money. We get a ton from BTN and B1G tv deals, our athletic department is self sufficient and Brohm is raising attendance. 6 million for him and a similar number for assistants is not going to hurt the school one bit. This is more about showing recruits and the fan base how serious Purdue takes football now. The fact that we can do it while still maintaining a world class university, an affordable in state tuition, and dedicated Alumni is why Purdue is special.
He hasn't proven to be so far, unless you're happy with six wins and a minor league bowl. Now the pressure is cranked up for him to provide more than he's done so far.
I don't think I need to do the math but I'm guessing 6mil a year for Brohm is less money per win than what Hazell got per win
The Louisville story of terribleness has too many chapters to keep track of.
And here is TD who loves Les Miles. Fortunately we will be able to compare both coach's progress starting next fall.
I don't "Love" Les, but I do think he would have proven to be the better coach. Time will tell won't it.
Of course. I look forward to comparing KU vs. PU next year.
Hey Darrel Hazel is available for a fraction. 12 wins (and counting) in two seasons, after Hazel landed 9 wins in two seasons is a huge accomplishment.
Congrats to the Boilers for doing enough to keep Brohm.
I don't think Purdue will be his last stop, but glad he stayed past just a 2 year pass through.
I'm pretty sure the B1G TV contract went from around $30M with Hazell to $50M next year. We've got this.
Who cares??
We've been spending nickels on FB HC's for the past decade, and we became the laughing stock of CFB because of it.
We have all the money in the world. B1G money. Huge endowment. In the black for years and years RE athletics.
Unload the Brinks truck. F it.

Actually there is no "offer" on the table. Our AD, Mike Bobinski and Jeff Brohm talked when all this started. Bobinski (along with Mike Berghoff, the Chair of our BOT) assured Jeff that money alone would not be the issue, at least when it came to Louisville. Bobinski suggested that Jeff needed to figure out where he wanted to be and where he felt he could achieve his goals. They told him, "Decide that first, and the we'll make sure we take care of the financial aspects, to your satisfaction."
Bottom line....dollars were not the deciding factor.
Brohm’s record and resumé is not worth 6 million per. However, the ‘19 recruit class and potential of Brohm once he gets his players is worth it. Brohm has completely revitalized the football program and the fan base. With all of the coverage and attention, I imagine the ‘20 class is going to be a good one again. You definitely go all in on this gamble to have a shot at competing for a Big championship. Brohm is likely going to land Bell (canceled his official visit to IU and Iowa right after the Brohm announcement). Brohm’s offense will be insane and the defense will be much improved. The defensive backs and defensive line additions should drastically help as well. Worth every penny, but he won’t be getting anymore without results. Louisville is our of the picture for the near future.
We'll see over the next two years who's FOS. Les takes over a team with less talent and not much of a recruiting base while Brohm has two years and is on his third group of incoming recruits with his name on them.
Yeah, Kansas and purdue were in similarly large holes. I highly doubt miles gets 7 wins in year one. In fact, let’s make a bet on that.
He is ..
If your winning the Big Ten Championship game every year.
But there's zero chance of that happening..
