Read it and Weap Louisville Fans

From the Doyel article...thanks for fitting the stereotype....



If you actually bothered to read my post, I didn't say Brohm is leaving -- in fact I think he would be an idiot to leave Purdue for Louisville -- I simply said that his statement leaves the door WIDE OPEN for him to leave.

He absolutely positively DID NOT affirm that he is staying at Purdue.
 
Brohm to Louisville.

Not sure why you have to insert the pejorative, but ok. I was referring to OP's assertion that Brohm's was a definitive statement that he is not leaving Purdue. Any objective person would agree that he has left the door open. He may stay at Purdue have have great success, but I wasn't debating that.

You have some reading comprehension issues, it seems.
Of course he had to “leave the door open“ with his public statements. That’s how you negotiate a raise. However he did not leave the door open with his comments to his star player and that would pose a problem for him in the future. But it won’t be because he will be “a man of his word“. If not like I’ve said 100 times “I do not care“ the leader ship here will bring in the right person if he proves to be the wrong person. I just don’t think that’s the case.

Has it ever occurred to you to try to make friends on your own playground? Nobody around here likes you or once you on this forum because you’re a fool is full. We’ve already said 100 times maybe 1000 times if he leaves, he leaves. He was already run out of your city once, Why not twice? He understands that going back to the dumpster fire now is not in his best interest his assistant coaches aside from his brothers probably would not follow him and he probably doesn’t get that kind of assistant coaches salaries there that he would need nor the additional positions he would need which he has at Purdue. But if that’s what he wants then that’s what he gets. We will be fine as we have leadership. The definition of leadership is influence, nothing more nothing less

In Brohm the presser quotes point to a guy saying he is happy and it will take a great offer to get me, more than what you’ve let my people know. It’s his comments to his players, recruits, and that none of his recruits have decommitted yet even with everything being reported that signal most strongly he is staying. Nothing is done yet. But Purdue seems to be in a better position than Louisville at this point.

The door always asked to remain open because this is a business anyone who has ever been in business news that something could change overnight because there’s all kinds of unknowns in any situation that could play out from past coaches. What could that be? It could be recruiting violations from a previous coach or some rogue booster that no one is aware of until the 11th hour.
That’s why he must leave the door cracked at least a little bit. He would be a fool not to.
 
You can’t take the Petrino stuff as similar though. If an NFL team came in to focus and offered a ton of money, you would be silly not to jump. The only thing holding Saban back is the same reasons Petrino and Calipari never jumped back to the NBA: its hard and there is even less job security.

The others I understand your rationale but as you said it is a different man and more importantly it is a different school/situation than UofL. The big thing that came forward today was that Brohm spoke specifically of the administration and how they believe in a vision and that speaks to him being in that future vision.

Everything that he's said still did not say: I am not considering any offers and I will be coach at Purdue next season.

Coach speak is just that. He's putting out what he needs to put out. Every coach does it.
 
When you look objectively at both programs in the lenses of what you are seeing today:

Would you stay at Purdue or leave for UofL?
The Louisville program is in trouble, both financially and morale. If Brohm were to go to Louisville, its troubles may likely taint him especially if he does not live up to UL's expectations. The Louisville players seem to have more say down there than the coaches do. That's what happened to Petrino and it could be what happens to their next HC. Lastly, Brohm was fired from UL about 10 years ago. He knows too well how fickle it is down there.

In contrast, Purdue has NONE of those problems. Supportive fan base, alumni and University administration.

What? Why would a recruit decommit from a program based on a rumor? The fact that that's what's convincing you he won't go anywhere in mind boggling. They are verbal commitments, they mean nothing. If they want to play for Brohm so badly, they aren't going to decommit now - they'll decommit when they know where he's going and hope they get a spot. And quite frankly, when you see a coaching change, it's very rare to see decommitments in significant quantities.

I think everyone's so focused on Louisville that there will be other major programs (with deeper pocket books) looking for coaches. However, I also wonder if outside of the Louisville connection, how sought after Brohm would truly be.....we went 6-6 in a very down Big Ten. Not that I don't think there's an upside, but if I were a fan of a Power 5 team trying to hire him, I'd have some reservations.
 
I come in peace. I have posted here a bit during all of this madness and I think I've been pretty reasonable and not a jackass like some of the other Card fans that felt the need to post here. A few things:

I have no idea what Brohm is going to do. I'll say that first.

I'll also say that Petrino signed a 10 year contract, said how happy he was and never leaving, etc etc, and left a few days later.

Charlie Strong gave his "I'm not cut like that" interview, and left for Austin days later.

John L Smith was happy to be here, left for East Lansing a few days later. This broke during the bowl game, man the second half of that one was ugly.

Granted, those were other guys and not Jeff Brohm. Here's Jeff Brohm a few years ago (don't just read the headline, read the article and his quotes):

Thank you for coming in peace. If you continue to post here, hopefully that will continue. We've had others who lied about that.

That article was posted on a Saturday. He was offered late Saturday night. He didn't make the decision until Sunday.

All indications are, Brohm is a man of integrity. He's spoken about his future here, and I'll take him at his word. If things change, so be it. The 2 year old article is marginally relevant to today, but I get your point.

In truth, it's irrelevant. The opportunity at Purdue was astronomically different than what he had at WKU. Not so by moving from Purdue to UofL.

After all is said and done, he'll do what he decides to do. I'm okay with that.

I think coach Brohm made it clear yesterday what we have known all along. He will not be here forever, bigger names will eventually come calling, and he knows that. But he will not leave a rebuild for another rebuild at this point, alma mater or not. He made that clear to everybody listening yesterday. He is leaving the door open for bigger names in the future.

supportive fan base???? Sure....just let him not lead PU to a bowl next year and we'll see how supportive that fan base is.

Petrino and strong aren't comparable to brohm. Both are adultering pieces of ****. If brohm says something i believe it, and he's already told recruits and fans he isn't going anywhere.

YES....a very supportive fan base. This was supposed to be a 'down' year for Purdue compared to last year. During this 'down' year, Brohm has shown his potential in beating ranked opponents.It will take Brohm & Co. a full 4 seasons or so to get the program where he wants it. Purdue fans will wait.

I know what you are saying about fans in general being fickle. Purdue fans can and have done that in the past. However, it is NOTHING compared to the fickleness that fans in other programs have displayed. Purdue is mild compared to other places.

I think the Purdue fan base is mild. In bad times, it's been relatively ok (although the last few years really challenged that), but in really good times it's only so great.

Louisville averaged a bit more fans a game this year than Purdue did - I don't think fan base means a hoot in this situation.

What do you think Brohm told the players and fans at Western Kentucky? That he was probably leaving? haha Come on...it's not a knock on Brohm, but he's not holier than all other Division I coaches...
 
LOL, well I'm watching Louisville get killed by the historically bad UK, and I may or may not be crying, but it's my basement I may or may not be crying in. LOL!

What he said today, remember, he's still on your payroll. We can get into the semantics of what "right now" means etc. Call me jaded, I guess I have seen this type of language before. Like I said, it'll play out and how I personally feel about the situation won't have any influence on any of it. Whether he stays or goes, I think Louisville will be fine.

And - LOL about Strong "screwing" his chances to come back. That made me laugh and I'm still laughing about that one.

I think it’s sad so many Louisville fans are so quick to suggest CJB is lying because it’s “ coach speak” and “ that’s what coaches do”. None of you want to use the term “liar” but essentially that is exactly what you are doing when you refuse to believe what he says. It really doesn’t say much for what you all think about the Brohms being Louisville Royalty. He has only been with us for two years but you can’t find a Boilermaker who wouldn’t tell you Brohm is a straight talking man with honor and integrity.
My personal take is that when CJB says Purdue is where he wants to be “ right now” he’s trying to let Louisville fans down gently because he does care about Louisville. But he has things that he has started here at Purdue that he wants to see through to the end...Partly because of the challenge and partly because of his integrity...Its just who he is. That doesn’t mean he won’t someday coach at Louisville...it’s just happening at a really awkward time. We all could be wrong and he could leave tomorrow to go to Louisville but we believe him when he says he likes it here and is looking forward to being part of Purdue’s future....at least the foreseeable future. Boiler Up!

He's not leaving. This weekend seems to have solidified that. I do think it's possible some day he goes there to coach after they've gone through 4-5 failures.

No one has used the term “liar” because it doesn’t fit. Nothing that he’s said is a lie and, we have no doubt that he is happy where he is - “right now”.

What he hasn’t said - up to now - is that he isn’t interested / doesn’t want to be considered for the UofL job. When he says that - then you’ll have something you can hang you hat on.

The amount of denial you are going through with all of this is nothing short of monumental.

Here, this is straight from Brohm after we beat IU:

"I want Louisville to do what's best for them," Brohm said after Purdue's 28-21 win at Indiana, which made the Boilers bowl-eligible at 6-6. "I'm a fan. But right now, I'm the coach at Purdue. This is where I want to be and I like it here."

He told Rondale Moore (per a tweet) that there was nothing to worry about regarding Louisville rumors. If your wife asks you if you banged some whore and you tell her she has nothing to worry about, that would normally be considered a lie if you banged said whore.

Thanks for including that quote, I hadn't seen it before.o_O

Your own fan base has debated it - so clearly I'm not the only one who questions the need to include "right now" if he's in fact pledging his undying love for Purdue.

And you've seen that tweet? It's interesting that those sentiments haven't been expressed publicly. I'm going to defer to you on the whore situations as it seems that you have put a significant amount of thought into them.

Well I had to include the quote because if you had read it before, it was clearly over your head. You're reading entirely too much in to two meaningless words that simply mean that something could change in the future that makes him unhappy. The underlying message is that he is staying. Sorry you're having such a hard time with that.
