Louisville AD Vince Tyra on firing Bobby Petrino: “I did not have the confidence that it was going to happen next season without a change & it needs to start happening now.” Source told @WatchStadium Purdue’s Jeff Brohm, a UL grad, is “clear cut No. 1 choice” of Cards

Personally, I like having another good coach in the conference so it would be mildly annoying to lose him. Whatever happens as long as Michigan keeps steamrolling people probably won’t affect us much.

Can/will Purdue crack into their B1G money to outbid UL?
One would think that Brohm has already given the signal that he’s open to the job?
November 11th, 2018 at 1:33 PM ^
Would Louisville let Purdue outbid them? I think the bigger question is where Brohm would go if the money was equal. Considering his background, it's easy to believe Louisville is his dream job. If so, he's gone. Louisville is making sure he knows their job is open before he makes any other move.
If Purdue was willing to spend a lot to keep Brohm, they might have offered him a lucrative extension already. I think they missed what chance they had of keeping him.

Does Louisville have more money than Purdue? I assume they have booster with deeper pockets, but doesn't Purdue make more money from the B1G than Louisville receives as a new member of the ACC?
EDIT: I looked it up. I guess Louisville does have more money than Purdue with revenue about $35 million more in 2016-17.

come on down

sorry...wrong thread
November 11th, 2018 at 1:15 PM ^
Karlaftis + Harrison + Hinton + Don Brown = reign of terror continues
November 11th, 2018 at 1:27 PM ^
lol, he can just wait and get a better job at fsu or usc...

USC and FSU fans would throw fits if their next coach came from Purdue, with no connections outside the midwest, let alone their schools and his only Power 5 experience was making Purdue respectable for Purdue.
November 11th, 2018 at 2:07 PM ^
FSU would take just about anyone right now...Brohm is a step up from Taggert(believe he will at least make it to year 2) so fans be damned, if I’m the FSU AD I would make the call.
November 11th, 2018 at 4:10 PM ^
I'd fire my AD if did something like that.
November 11th, 2018 at 1:28 PM ^
That might explain Purdue’s terrible performance yesterday. Brohm may have Durkined it.
November 11th, 2018 at 1:43 PM ^
This was my thought too. He's already thinking about moving, and as a result, his team gets blasted. Maybe it's already a done deal...
November 11th, 2018 at 2:22 PM ^
If Brohm does leave, hopefully he's honest with the recruits instead of bailing after they sign their LOI's.
November 11th, 2018 at 2:33 PM ^
so Brohm is Louisville's savior? Guess you haven's paid much attention to two of his last 3 games
November 11th, 2018 at 2:42 PM ^
Have to think they at least had a conversation with Brohms people before making this move. Would be foolish to do otherwise given the size of the buyout
November 11th, 2018 at 2:43 PM ^
boy what a kick to the nuts that would be for purdue fans... after being deep in the wilderness under Hazel, feeling like you're close to getting out, only to fall into despair again
like the scene from the Perfect Storm...
