It is Brohm
- Thread starter boilersallthewaynow
- Start date
Not confirmed officially but there is a presser at 3pm that has not been announced as of this moment.
I believe it's real deal. He signed last night
They would have a hard time throwing together a 3 p.m. press conference. I would be more likely to think a searching update conference call.
But Pat Forde said a deal is in place.
We will see. Hopefully we can outscore teams and win some games. Make Purdue a desirable job again.

If so, (not questioning you it's just that there have been so many rumors in this type of deal) then I am elated. I started wanting PJ first and Brohm second but as I started to look more and more at Brohm's offense he became my favorite.
This is a great hire for Purdue, Look for your offense in the future to light up the score board.
this is the same sentiment that I wrote about to MBobb two weeks ago. It'll be exciting again and put fannies in the seats at the very least.
All over Twitter. Met with the team this morning. Basketball on grass is back. To clarify met with his WKU team to tell them.

LOL. There is already a fake Jeff Brohm twitter.
impressed with Mike B, he's done more for Purdue Football in 2 months than Morgan did in his entire tenure.

So much for Brohm being too good for Purdue, eh Luginbill?
Petrino has a $10 million buyout. He ain't going anywhere.

I agree, I would've been happy with Fleck, but he was never an OC or DC, so the system and play calling is much more dependent on who you hire for those positions. We just did that route and it wasn't pretty.
With Brohm, you are also bringing in a definite Offensive philosophy too, I think that is a huge positive and why he was ultimately the target.
Down the road or after his next motor cycle accident with an unidentified female rider.....?!
Holy Toledo!

hope Brohm brings his 5 3 star recruits and this should keep C J Hayes in the fold. Hope Sipe sticks w/ the program too. Great days ahead.
If he gets Purdue up and running there isn't a ton of reason for him to make such a move.
I mean essentially once the big name analysts are tweeting it it's usually true.
Looks official since it's on Purdue Sports official page. Good read too.

And me as well. The offensive statistics he's posted are really, really impressive.
THANK YOU SWEET BABY JESUS!
Man I hate coaching searches. Hope we don't have to do that for a while.
This is very good for the Purdue Football program. Not just bc Brohm is a great young coach, but bc it shows that YES WE DO STILL HAVE SOME LIFE IN WL! And a great young (((hottie))) coach does believe in Purdue.
Welcome Coach Brohm and Family! We are getting the full package here. Can't wait.

Well I am glad to see this, and glad to admit I was wrong. Patience was key and I admit with the absence of information, I was anxious. The sky is not falling. Hoorah.
I agree. I was just making fun of twitter stuff. It's a whole new world out there today with information.
I'm no Burke lover, but this hire isn't exactly overwhelmingly impressive. How is this more impressive than Hazell's hiring? He took over a program that was already in a good spot and has done a pretty good job of maintaining it.
I haven't been on here much because I've been traveling overseas, but the last I left - everyone was touting Purdue as one of the best jobs available.
My concern is this - he doesn't come from major program experience. We need someone who not only knows how to market a program (ala Fleck), but also has EXPERIENCE in a major football program (what Fleck didn't have and I was not a fan of). I think this was Hazell's and Hope's problems - they were in over their heads. You aren't recruiting on the same level, your competition is not on the same level, the standards you need to excited people are not on the same level, etc.
I'm not saying Brohm is that, we aren't going to know for a while. Obviously a lot of that can show with hiring assistants. I think that's why I look at a hire like Maryland with Durkin - he wasn't a high profile candidate, but has great experience, has great work relationships that allowed him to hire a hell of a staff and has dramatically improved Maryland's recruiting already. He's running Maryland like it is Michigan - where he came from. And not saying well it's Maryland, so we can't do this or that or we shouldn't have the expectations of that (which is what our fans do - and as someone who lives in the DC area, Maryland fans do).
The last thing I'll say is I know a lot of people wanted an offensive mindset. But we scored lots of points in the latter stages of Tiller's career, as well as with Hope. It wasn't scoring that was the problem. It was competing. If we score a bunch of points against the bottom of the Big Ten - great. I just want to be competitive. I'll take a 10-7 loss against a ranked team where we have a chance to win at the end over a 56-35 loss that we weren't in the game for a majority of it.
Our problem over the last ten years wasn't offense. It's been our defense. That's something that needs to be addressed and I feel like it isn't going to and we're going to end up in these 6-6 or 7-5 seasons where we don't beat any good teams again. Which on the plus side, it's better than where we are now. But can't say this hire has me thrilled over the longterm. I think this build is going to be very slow now and has a low ceiling. Hopefully I am proven wrong and like I said, the assistants will be a very big deal in this.

WKU and WMU are both similar sized schools, in similar type leagues...Fleck had nothing on Brohm from a viewpoint of where they are coaching. Both are impressive coaches, but we got who we wanted, and I for one am real happy!
