UT close to deal with Jeff Brohm

[JFreak]

I just love that Hyams broke this. Especially after all the mindless drivel on here.

I agree 100%!! Schiano would have been a great hire maybe he could have got the program in the right direction to where this team can be respected again then in the next 4 or 5 years you could have got ur big fish. I know everybody want the big name guy but in this state of this program you need someone to do the dirty and clean up all the bs that's been going on..This coach could be a Butch Jones 2.0

Schiano wouldn’t have made it through the introductory PC. Get over it dude! And YOU created a thread telling us to “get behind Butch because he WILL be back next year”. So this 2.0 thing should be in your wheelhouse.

after sunday, and last night, did anyone really expect to be "excited"?????????????????

i really don't get the attitude about this potential hire, or really any potential hire, at this point, given the current climate surrounding this university.

there's a reality check that needs to happen.

Yeah UT is a tough sell at the moment, if this deal with Brohm is accurate we ought to all collectively breath a sigh of relief. From what I have seen of him in the past couple of hours, he seems like a player's coach, the kind of guy that identifies with his players and can get them motivated. That is a quality in a coach we have sorely lacked for a long time. I'm willing to give this guy a chance and really, we don't have the luxury of being picky at the moment.

Guys this is getting ridiculous. Sounds like the athletic dept is in a civil war. Conflicting reports everywhere

Thank, God, if true! Honestly, I bet Kiffin’s FAU team would beat Brohm’s Purdue team.

Wisconsin 17 Purdue 9
Wisconsin 31 FAU 14

Probably not.

Butch Jones 52- Brohm 20
September 7, 2013


I’m down with Brohm, but just wanted to point this out. He lost to the guy we fired by 32 points, after all the bi+4ing about how Butch lost to Dooley.

Um...that was Bobby Petrino dude.

I guess you didn’t see the words “right now” after home run. Gundy or Petersen would have been great. Kiffin is in no way a home run, especially due to the fact that many of our fans would protest bringing him back. Our current situation, which is grim, has clouded people’s judgement into thinking Kiffin is the equivalent of a Saban. Brohm is highly regarded by the people and players he has been involved with. He took a Purdue team that won 6-7 games in 3-4 years to being a bowl eligible team in 1 season. If that doesn’t impress you, then you don’t have a very tight grasp on CF

I'm more impressed with Bill Clark at UAB taking a team that hasn't existed for two years to 8-4 and bowl eligible with whatever players he could find.

If you hadn't seen it yet, google Jeff Brohm xfl. After that, I am pumped about getting him.

Wtf Hyams

 

[VolFanHenry]

Great, see ya'll in another 4-5 years during the next search.

Ignorant statement. This guy won big at Western Kentucky and took an absolutely horrible program at Purdue and took them to a bowl in year one. This guy is a winner, plain and simple.

After the crap show that we've endured over the last few days we are beyond lucky to land him.

 

[broom66]

Dude was at a basketball school that came close to beating Wisconsin and beat an Iowa team that beat OSU and Iowa State. Give the dude a chance Vol Nation.

:w00t: Not going to post in next 4 years?

Jimmy Hyams is the Tennessee of sports journalism. God it hurt to even write that.

 

[Russdaddy2027]

Explosive and Expensive....hmmm, bless him

Well since the Schiano article was being brought up and the link passed around during the Vandy game, 24 hours before the news of him being hired broke? It is less of a civil war, and more of a gang war. Complete with conspiracy, propaganda, and rabble rousing. The only thing missing from this circus is 3 rings, a ringmaster and an orchestra.

 

[VolFanHenry]

His offenses at Western Kentucky were explosive and I'm sure he'll be very expensive. I doubt we can land any coach for less than 5+ million at this point.

 

[NickZ4UT]

Explosive and Expensive....hmmm, bless him

Well, he wasn't wrong, Schiano was explosive and that disaster is costing us a lot of money.

 

[sanglemangle]

Why in heck can't we all get behind whoever we get!

 

[VolunteerHillbilly]

Sounds like the Brohmance is going to end in disappointment. Lots of reputable people reporting no deal. We're being used to get him a better contact.

 

[TGVol]

He was literally just in a recruits house an hour ago. Wonder how that recruit feels

He was jumping with joy because he is now getting recruited to play football at UT vs Purdue.
