Question about Louisville's handling of this???

[GB.com]

I'm in the camp of nobody knows what the hell is truly going on.

But has anyone thought about the way Louisville has handled this situation? It can't make him happy that he has to answer to these rumors and possibly the season being sabotaged.

Given the culture at that fine institution, it's going to be interesting to watch.

The culture at Louisville is fine. The media has clung to the idea that Pitino and Jurich are still there. It's over. Louisville is not the evil empire and the "mess" others wish it was. I'm not sure if Brohm will come back or not, but this "Louisville is a dumpster fire" hot take is absolute fake news.

Yup. It was just an aberration.

Sell stupid somewhere else. We deal with IU trolls year 'round.

Was just thinking the same thing. They couldn’t have been any more insensitive to CJBs situation. Might rub him the wrong way.

The report about Brohm to Louisville came from Dakich in Indy not from any news outlet in Louisville.

Dakich didn't post his source(s).

But the timing of the firing of petrino is really what led to all of this speculation to begin with. That was done by the UL admin. They could have waited and let the man finish his season distraction free

Except your AD giggling about the question at the time he fired your coach.

15 years of slime cannot just be removed by firing 2 people. It is now embedded in the culture and will take some time to remove.

Lousiville leaked the rumor to Dakich. They are trying to create buzz and make the U ofL job more attractive. They are no longer confident Brohm has mutual interest.

I hope you are right.

 

[StoopsTroops2013]

We kinda had to fire Petrino...Sorry. We were bleeding recruits, players were filing transfer papers, and boosters were letting go of their seats. The call for "Brohm to come home" has been happening since he had some success last season if not before then. The necessary firing of Petrino, just accelerated everything. It is the nature of the business, He may not like the quandary he is in, but Brohm probably understands it.

In the Thursday afternoon press conference, Brohm said that any reports connecting his name and the Louisville opening are "completely false". Brohm said, when asked about Dan Dakich's tweet, "there's nothing to that".

Seems pretty unambiguous to me. On top of that, Bobinski, the Associate AD, and Mike Berghoff are all in Charleston, SC for the MBB tournament. They don't seem concerned about Brohm leaving. There are no credible reports of any recruits decommitting. So maybe, just maybe, all this BS from IU grad Dakich and the Louisville media and homers is completely bogus and Brohm isn't going anywhere?

This is hilarious, u guys hired 2 of the biggest scum bag coaches in history simply to win. I mean all the shit Petrino did and you let him come right back. Everyone at UK knew that Pitino was trash yet you all welcomed him with open arms. Their stank will be with you for a long long time. Like an article I read last week said, "you are only toxic when you lose". If Petrino was winning he would still be there.

Pitino’s banner hangs at Rupp Arena. Just saying. He was Saint like when he left for the Celtics. Not so much when he joined their rival.

No it’s pretty much a dumpster fire. If Brohm wasn’t a native, he wouldn’t even be looking at the school. It’s clearly the ONLY draw the place has at the moment.

I would tend to agree.

But, they did get Chris Mack, even with the dumpster fire raging.

Not really sure why he made that move. I can’t imagine that the Basketball doesn’t at least lose a scholarship and tourney ban. But the basketball job > football job there.

False, and fake news. Plenty more than 2 were fired, but those 2 are the main ones everyone falls back on.

Or just keep living in the past while everyone in Louisville moves on...

Tell me, is the AD that hired them still at Louisville? How about the two coaches themselves? How about the president? Hell, what about the BOT that brought them in? No, they were all replaced you say?

Yeah, take that "dumpster fire" propaganda somewhere else. I'm not buying that load of hot garbage.

Because of the ACC, the finest college basketball arena in the country, unmatched facilities, tradition/history, ability to recruit at a very high level and compete for championships.

UofL likely has already approached JB’s reps, and it’s just as likely that they’re talking. I have no doubt Louisville has been told that nothing of substance will occur until the season ends, so this will get kicked to late next week. Really nothing new, and nothing has changed in terms of JB seriously considering the UofL job at the proper time.

Again, if he wasn’t interested, he would come out and definitively end all speculation by saying he’s not a candidate and isn’t going anywhere, no matter what. He’s not done that, nor will he. Frustrating, but that’s how these things play out every year.

All true. Wholesale changes. New BOT, President, AD. It’s been a painful but necessary purge.

Well, I just posted this elsewhere, but it applies in this thread, as well.

“If the Committee on Infractions doesn’t have the courage to implement the death penalty on (Louisville),” Yahoo Sports’ Dan Wetzel wrote Tuesday, “then the NCAA should just give up and take it off the books.”

Maybe everyone is wrong. Maybe UofL isn't a dumpster fire. Maybe, just maybe, it's something else. . .

 

[CardfbFanatic06]

False, but nice try. You'll cite a bunch of stuff from the past that has zero effect on the present. Those guys are gone.

It really seems to bother some of you that Louisville isn't as bad as you wish it to be. It's your one argument for Brohm not going there, so seeing to crumble must be difficult.

So the football team is getting the death penalty? Naaaah. And Wetzel? He's a fake news specialist. No death penalty for the basketball program either.

There will be no “death penalty.” If would create an economic disaster for the city. The NCAA hasn’t done it since SMU and that was a mistake. The University cleaned house. Nobody associated with the scandals are around and the new President is very much focused on academics first (I’ve met her...very impressive lady).

yeah he just has a TOP 5 recruiting class in the country for 2019 right now... What was he thinking??

Again, if he wasn’t a native, we wouldn’t even be having this discussion. There are zero redeeming qualities otherwise.

Do they come when sanctions are handed down? And remember this is strike 2 in a short period of time. It’s not going to be a slap on the wrist.

I would agree. I've been on record on this forum (not UofL related) that it will likely never happen again. Only due to the utter devastation that occurred to SMU, and not because a program doesn't deserve it.

 

[CardfbFanatic06]

Nobody told those recruits that the program is a dumpster fire that's falling apart at the seams. Someone from this board or Dam Wetzel himself better let them know.

You're not keeping up. The discussion was UofL being a dumpster fire.

You're trying to argue it was just a few people. It was a culture.

Don't like that? I can't blame you.

But that's the reality you have to live with now. And, you're not helping your cause. Chasing a bunch of people on a Purdue forum isn't going to change minds. Only time, and running a squeaky clean program will do it.

Exactly. Why would all these Louisville fans feel they have to come to a Purdue board to convince us Brohm is leaving Purdue for Louisville? That's probably the biggest indication it won't happen.

I won't speak for other Louisville fans, but I just come here to see if there is any news about Brohm. Then I find a bunch of doomsday prophets wrongfully predicting Louisville's demise. That's my fault for unreasonable expectations coming here, I guess.

 

[t45corey]

Yeah, take that "dumpster fire" propaganda somewhere else. I'm not buying that load of hot garbage.

Um Dude, you are on the Purdue section of the forum. We are going to call Louisville a Dumpster Fire! We are trying to justify in our own minds why our coach is going to stay at Purdue and we are looking for other people to agree with us. This is exactly where that is going to happen. If this was the Louisville forum, your comment to take the "propaganda somewhere else" would be valid. However, this is exactly where I would expect that propaganda to be!
