I personally thought it was insulting that psu wore its practice duds during the game.
What happens to our program, if Walters does not end up getting let go this year?
- Thread starter KentuckyBoiler
- Start date
Probably more insulting to their practice squad, that likely puts up a better fight than our starting line up.
I said 5-6 and you named 2 of them, Jenkins is out of time. I agree on D Line, I wouldn’t keep any of the current started/rotation but hope to develop some guys for depth instead of starting over. The others I’d keep are Breedlove, Beasley, Grant. They are talented enough to have a good secondary just poorly coached and young. Green would be a question mark, he shows flashes of talent. There’s your 5-6.
agree. I think since we hired Walters the economics have changed enough we now can afford to get better coaches. I do think the facilities will be helpful in recruiting coaches and players.
The Brohm hire is what put us into the mess we're in right now. He said he was going to use Purdue as a stepping-stone to U of L and he did.
There would have been no Walters hire if our previous carpetbagger coach had stayed.
I hate to break it to you, but Purdue Football is not a destination job for anyone who didn’t play at Purdue.
Schools have coaches leave all the time, it’s literally the AD’s job to replace them.
Right, but Louisville is a destination job. The Harvard of the Ohio River.
I didn't prove your point at all. I know Brohm was a QB at U of L. He told us that he was going there the day that we foolishly hired him.
No he didn’t.
And who would have been a better hire to put out the Haze Dumpster fire in 2016?
He got us to the btn championship game. He stayed 6 years. And the teams were fun to watch, especially the offense.
He had a chance to go to U of L after one year and turned it down.
And he drove a 2004 Accord.
Everyone knew Brohm ultimately wanted to end up back in Louisville with his family from the day he was hired. The fact that the AD didn't have any legitimate coaches on speed dial ready to interview is the real failure that's got us in this mess. Can't fault Brohm for the AD's ineptitude.
He owned a home in Louisville during the entire time he coached at WKU and Purdue. That's where he's living right now. He poached Purdue recruits and Purdue players after he quit. He now recruits against us to this day.
Brohm has no fault whatsoever in this mess. Even if you say he poached players from us or left the cupboard bare, in the portal era, the new head coach should have been a better talent evaluator. He's ride or die, mostly die, with Card even when this season is clearly lost and Card gone next year. Hopefully Walters is gone with him.
Brohm more than earned every cent we paid him to extinguish the Haze tire fire.
No, but what will be defined as failure under a new coach?
Some schools are going to be in the bottom third in any given year, and those schools are likely to be repeat bottom dwellers. Will the BTN get rid of the latter?
Yes, you don’t have to win every year but unless you are capable of bringing in and keeping a tv audience the B1G will have to show you the door. Unfortunately for us we are in the worst situation possible heading into those decisions. There is time to right the ship, but the potential for lost revenue from the coming super conference realignment should be creating action now. $9 million buyout or lose hundreds of millions starting in 2032 with the new tv contracts.
