At least he’s not taking the head in the sand approach.
Sure it helps the AD to know the President sees the need to retain Coach Brohm

Mitch Daniels on Brohm
- Thread starter Bullwhip Griffith
- Start date
"He fits this place and this place fits him."
That's something not lost on CJB.
Having a good boss and a good work environment are important in any job. Brohm has both
I think as long as MBob and Mitch are in place, it will be tough for Brohm to leave.
He fits this place, and this place fits him. Just like Mitch. He wasn’t a Purdue guy, but I get the feeling he now is.
I am sure that is part of it, but Brohm is doing that behind the scenes too. Wright and Bell would not be looking at us, if they felt he was leaving.
"Important?" You are ABSOLUTELY right.
I would suggest it's downright ESSENTIAL. Life without it is one aggravation after another.
Reading between the lines: That's a big part of what Brohm's most recent comment addressed.
I would dare say, there are precious few schools (P5 or not) that have the combo we have right now.
My guess is, Brohm is here for the duration, as long as that team stays together.
Which brings up an interesting point. Maybe MBob or Mitch go first? I'm worried about ND for MBob (how old is Swarbrick?) and who knows what Mitch may decide to go do. He literally could do anything in the public or consulting world and make way more money and tackle even bigger problems. I'm not suggesting either are leaving tomorrow but we have a president and AD who are desirable to people outside our school. It's been a very, very long time we could say that.
Again, lets not assume people are driven so much by an additional dollar of income.
Mitch is 69, Bobinski is around 61. (Swarbrick is 64.)
Here are 3 people (including Brohm) who are really admired at Purdue, and things are going really well. If things continue as they are, at a minimum, Mitch Daniels is going to have a building named after him on campus. If Bobinski leaves, Mitch will make another good hiring decision.
