no one was/is worshipping Brohm.
Those of us who knew what we were looking at were pushing back against the Walters apologists blaming Brohm for horrible football.
Walters’ future

Idiots try to excuse this coach for horrid starts but won’t excuse Brohm for the Covid year or 2019 where we had a ton of injuries. Outside of that he had a much better record AND after taking over from the Hazell dumpster fire.
It’s incredibly funny when they try and trash Brohm to defend the awful job Walters has done.
In a division that Joe tiller would have won going away. You know what you’re never gonna hear about Jim young? “Oh yeah, you know Dedrick Mackey and Kenneth major would have started for him.”
Wait, so you’re saying I think Jim young, Joe tiller and Jack mollenkopf are better but I’m wrong?
Two of the previous 6 coaches before brohm were significantly better. Kelly butler and Mike Hawthorne would have looked like Jon Ogden and rod woodson in a brohm practice
Nobody knows what you’re talking about. Or cares.
No. Walters has proven to be awful. And everything he said is still true. Walters sucks and brohm is an average coach who couldn’t hold Joe tillers clipboard and ice cup
Guys started for brohm who never would have for those 3 coaches. At LB. DB and on the OL. Again it’s weird. It’s like harkening back to the bulls glory days of Doug Collins lol
Don't follow your last sentence but the early Joe Tiller would have won the West by several games.
As long as .. once someone acknowledges that Walters has been awful, you aren’t still sitting there acting like Jeff brohm is Lloyd Carr or Jim tressel, that’s all good by me
YOU understand this. Not everyone does. Acting like the brohm era was this great high point shows how far the program fell from the days of tiller pleading with Burke for a greater commitment
Excepting Tiller, a more accurate way to say that is that you have to go back to the early 80s and the 60s to find a Purdue coach that was as good or better than Brohm - and Brohm was better than Joe was in his final few years.
and there it is. Dude just tell me you’re a guy who grew up in Louisville and started following Purdue in 2017.
@New Pal Boiler thats my point.. there are people who don’t like Walters or thing he’s good. And then there are people who think that because they think Jeff brohm is bo schembechler
2021 and 2022. Top 10 seasons in our history. Correct? In a 100+ year history of college football at Purdue. So why would the coach not get credit? Especially coming off of about 10 years of futility?
Bo was overrated.
Michigan, OSU and just about every school has had its share of mediocre or even bad coaches. Purdue has just had more than its share.
Joe tiller on his worst day wasn’t better than the first FOUR years of brohm?
Man can you imagine tiller if a 5 star with Alabama and Clemson offers lived across the street?
Harry, be careful. The CRW lover's will call you a racist for being cautious or critical of CRW's coaching no matter how evidence based your position is.
Why don't we keep CRW around to see if he makes it to .500 ???
You keep bringing up Brohm. We don’t.
Riveting is right though…his last 2 years were top 6-7 seasons ever for Purdue.
In his later years, Joe let up on recruiting.
Top ten? A 8-6 season with one of the easiest schedules of all time? Only 2021 deserves a place with 78-80, 97-00 and 03.
You do realize that mollenkopf’s last five years takes up most of that list alone right?
You don’t think 5 of tillers teams would have rolled up and smoked Syracuse in a game Durham’s mouth lost?
Boys, boys, the solution is obvious: Hire a coach whose first name begins with J.
You mean like Jim Colletto ? 😆
We’re so desperate I’ll try anything at this point!
So who is your guy? Rhett Lashlee is another name being floated but I don’t think we can get him. I’m very intrigued by Chesney and may be could be sold on Candle, but I think there may be something missing there.
He was .514 for crying out loud. Purdue all time is .516 he wasn't God and no one is defending Walters. Go stroke your Brohm bobble head. We need to right the ship rather than bow down to someone that left and isn't coming back.
Who is your enlightened choice to replace Walters? You seem to think you have the answer for everything else. Let's hear it.
It's amazing how one and a half seasons of poor coaching can invite those to belittle the achievements of coach Tiller and Brohm....
A fan base that has spoken of Tiller making it to a Rose Bowl on a year when the Big Ten was " having a down year" and Brohm backing into a Big Ten Championship Game....
It's apparentl that CRW's contributions to Purdue have been so impressive that they have laid shame to the accomplishments of Tiller and Brohm........
Lord, help our Boilers.....
This is bull.
Some of us who knew what we were looking at realized a long time ago that this coaching staff is terrible, but were told by the Walters apologists that it was Brohm’s fault.
If he likes the next coach he won’t allow any dissent, results be damned. He will lose it if the next coach starts 7-6, 6-7, 4-8 and 4-8 if a peep of criticism is uttered.
If the next coach is a coach where he doesn’t like the hire, the first time we don’t convert a third down, “I miss Jeff brohm.”
The dude thinks Jeff brohm was better than Jim young. ****in fantasyland take if I ever saw one.
He thinks Brohm’s 8 win seasons are top 7 seasons in Purdue history. He didn’t look close enough to realize that when Jack mollenkopf was winning 8 games, they only PLAYED 10! Lol.
Cause the dude is from Louisville .. the only thing that makes sense. Anyone ever remember him being here before 2017? I don’t. And he doesn’t come off like a dude who just graduated in that time frame…
No, he’s been on here a long time. Said he grew up in Lafayette before going to school at UGA.
And I disagree with him on Brohm being better than Young.
Screw Brohm, he's on to greener pastures. Let it lay. He left, we didn't. Tiller was the man! Did it with less money and less support from the AD.

Sure seems like a 'ville homer to me. He defends Brohm on every thread. I mean the guy never did anything wrong at Purdue. He is even better than Jim Young.
Go look at any of these last threads and who brought up Brohm. It wasn’t me.
I defend him when people come to crap on him because he was a good coach here.
When people defend Walters it’s mostly laying blame at the feet of Brohm which is ridiculous. It’s obvious the roster was more talented in 22 than 23. In 23 than now.
Look at all the starters on the line. Most are Brohm guys….and they aren’t the reason we suck. It’s been 1000% coaching and not using the talent we do have.
I defend Brohm. I don’t bring him up.Sure seems like a 'ville homer to me. He defends Brohm on every thread. I mean the guy never did anything wrong at Purdue. He is even better than Jim Young.
Look at this thread and who first mentions him. Wasn’t me! It’s the same guy who always mentions him to defend Walters being so bad at his job.
