Part of my point and you continue to criticize or it is that the rest of you don't know much more than I do. All you do is go to KHC and then regurgitate what you read there. I know a lot more about Brohm than just his UK record. I'd reveal more, but you don't want to hear it.
I didn't contradict myself about his recruiting. I said I wasn't impressed. I also said in order for Purdue to improve our recruiting has to be better than our opponents. I praised Brohm for being better than Hazell, but cut him down for not being better than any other BIG 10 team. I also said in rating recruits, if you don't like the star rating, look at what other schools gave them offers. With hazel l it was very easy to criticize because Purdue was often the recruit's only power 5 offer.
You all want to keep saying in Brohm's defense that he only had two months to assemble this recruiting class. I've pointed out several times that almost every recruit he added to this class he had previously recruited while at WKU. And you can see it on the players' tweets, on the WKU site and their scouting profiles his previous contacts made. So my point is god or bad, unlike Hazell's first class where everybody said wait and see, and give it a year, this class is definitely Brohm's class and he had more than just 2 months to build it. So all credit and blame goes to Brohm.
yes, Brohm had a high powered attack at WKU. Will it work in the BIG 10 ? Is our pass blocking good enough to provide Blough the time to throw? We added a juco and a quality offensive lineman.
And from what I'm reading, many of you believe Brohm encouraged many of Hazell's lesser recruits to decommit, and many of you are happy they did. I have doubts upon Brohm's arrival that those recruits really wanted to leave. There are some people if a scholarship was offered by a former coach, it should be honored.
Many of you don't realize I've been here since 2013, not last November. I read al l your posts about give hazell a chance, he needs more time, he only had 2 months, blah , blah blah. Some of your posts look like cut and past fro m several years ago. I'm sorry that I refuse to wait. You might say this is a huge I told you so to several members who argued with me previously.
My final assessment - this is Brohm's team. For better and worse, he signed the players he wanted and had spent the last 1-2 years recruiting. he's going to use the same philosophy and formula that worked for him at WKU. Hazell came to Purdue with a philosophy that worked for him, and worked for OSU, but flopped at Purdue. Are the players Brohm recruited talented enough to implement that offense at Purdue?
I believe we can al l agree unless a coach give under the table concessions, the key to winning is recruiting and the key to recruiting is winning. Athletes flock to a winning program. If Purdue doesn't start winning, will they see an improvement in recruiting ? and are Brohm's recruits and coaching staff good enough to start winning?
and yes, I'll admit I get frustrated by fans who believe 4-8 and 5-7 are good years and what we should expect. and yes, I'll also admit I get frustrated by fans who said the exact same thing when Hazell was hired. I read your game day laments You get very upset during games, yet , during the off season, you want to take a wait and see approach. a quality loss is still a loss. Almost a win, is also still a loss. In the archives, the game summaries about almost winning are usually deleted.
You constantly say I don't know anything. but in reality, most of you don't anything more than me. Rather than criticizing others, I'd really enjoy reading some of your "ORIGINAL" ideas of how to improve our team.
