@ClowESPN

Jeff Brohm and @LouisvilleFB are in the process of finalizing a deal to bring Brohm back to his alma mater as head coach, sources tell ESPN. The deal would be for six years in the $35 million range. Brohm has been at
@BoilerFootball the past six seasons.

That should send Purdue back into the toilet for the next few years.

 

[MelroseHawkins]

Wow. Nice find.

 

[Seth53]

Seems like a step down to me.

He's obviously leaving 'cuz CJ has used up his eligibility.

 

[NCHawker]

now that USC is joining, purdue sliding back down is, as Forrest Gump says "one less thing"

 

[Hawkboys]

1 less team for Parker to have to adjust to now.

Its his alma mater. You never forget your first love....

Plus, he has probably hit the ceiling of what he will ever do at Purdue, especially with the expansion. Louisville has more fertile recruiting grounds and an easier conference to traverse. This is a good move for him, IMHO.

The ACC has a vacuum at the top. Clemson is really good, but they lucked into generational quarterbacks basically back to back and landed a defensive line that had 4 first rounders. That shit ain't gonna happen again for them. Florida State and Miami suck. VA Tech is a shell of what it was when Beamer was there. GA Tech is trash. The North Carolina teams all suck. The teams in the northeast all suck. Brohm has a path to at least getting into the playoffs at Louisville that he just didn't have at Purdue. I wouldn't be surprised to see him do well there once he gets it rolling.

Meh. It's a BB school.

 

[Hawkboys]

Purdue or Louisville?

 

[JoeyLabasForPresident]

Happy to hear it.

 

[InGoodCo]

Happy to hear it. I think it's a step down any way you slice it. It's already the B1G or the SEC and everyone else, in 5 years from now, the difference will be glaring between B1G jobs and ACC jobs.

 

[Seth53]

Purdue or Louisville?

Purdue has a somewhat recognizable FB history.
Louisville...not so much.

The problem is we will slide right with them.

 

[Hawkfnntn]

Purdue or Louisville?

Yes

 

[ChosenChildren]

not surprised. This is the job he wanted

Dan Gable certainly did

It may seem like it, but after USC & UCLA join the BTen, where do you think his odds are better of finishing 10-2 or 9-3? Purdue or Louisville?

It will be easier to win but also irrelevant, big boy football is going to rule the future and 2 conferences are getting 10+ of those PO spots every year.

Soon there will be 35 or so jobs in CFB that matter. Louisville won’t be coming along

It wasn't happening at Purdue either.
