Lord have mercy Purdue is paying that much???

That's nuts. Brohm has that much money without the equivalent expectations.

 

[Devo182]

Oklahoma getting the bargain of the century.

Must be nice to have some 20+ years of consistent success without top 10 classes. They are truly #blessed

 

[Geaux_Vols]

This is mind-numbing.

That has to make one think he got one hell of a raise due to us.

I don’t recall that being mentioned at the time

After reading an article by Ubben on the Athletic, where he interviews a bunch of different neurologists about playing the week after receiving two concussions in back to back games, I don't think there's any way BM starts on Saturday. The only way would be that the hit in the Bama game didn't actually result in a concussion. We're going to have to ride with JG.

Do the neurologists say in the article that they do not know that it is the case they he had two concussions in back to back games and they are not willing to offer a remote diagnosis and that they are answering a hypothetical question?

For a program that won 9 games in 4 years (as bad as you think our last 2 seasons have been, imagine averaging 2 wins a year...), his 13 wins in his first 2 years and back to back bowl games are nothing short of spectacular.

But his own success will incur bigger expectations. I'd say it would do him a lot of good to win that weak division in the next few years making THAT kind of money.

Looks like this spring

Purdue football coach Jeff Brohm's new contract features $1.7M signing bonus

But he’s not winning in that weak division

He just got it this January. 7 year deal. Nearly 2 mil just for signing it

Interesting

Only year 3...at Purdue. Given the insane turnaround, he will have time. This ain't Knoxville. Basketball school anyway.

Maybe but it seems to me he’s going backwards

 

[Catbone]

This is mind-numbing.

Unreal

 

[BruinVol]

This is mind-numbing.

And their coach said he knew coming in they had an advance in physicality in the trenches

We have come a long way in that area

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Don't forget Louisville was a potential "poaching" candidate for Brohm as well, Purdue didn't pony up just cause of the UT rumors.

Still, they are idiots.

I also like how Texas went out to pay Herman and he still can't beat Lincoln & OU. LOLz

Trey is a good man and teammate. Sounds like the likely context was a Knoxv "reporter" trying to undermine the team.

 

[BearCat204]

That's college. LED lights are for professional sports. It's what Bama has turned itself into.

I didn't even think they were allowed to use them after kickoff, but I guess they can. It's entertainment, but whatever.

Half of the SEC will go with these lights in the next year or so and we will soon follow. The recruits and kids love them (for the most part) and things evolve.

 

[Devo182]

Still surprised Jimbo got soo paid. Is he really that valuable? Dude had insanely stacked fsu squads in a terrible pre-clemson ACC era. As soon as Clemson sniffed better classes, they absolutely steamrolled poor Jimbo. His only national was...1) with Pruitt, 2) with a generational college QB, 3) Only played ONE ranked team all regular season lol 4) got to play probably one of the worst teams to play in a championship game in recent memory, barring 2012 ND. 2013 Auburn was one in a million lucky...and fsu beat em by 3. I don't think fsu wins a playoff.

 

[Pane di mais]

Overrated. Should’ve stuck with track

I have to come to VN to see someone run down Vol great Doug Atkins, Hank. Just can't get that anywhere...

What's next? Alternate uniforms...

Clutches pearls......

Obviously this shows the results and improvements that can be achieved by lifting weights during the season.

Yes he is. They also made the playoffs again. Those two trips alone more than paid for themselves. Texas AM will be really good soon.

Trying to decide whether to admit that I lol'd

Tbf, Jordan's stats got destroyed VS Ga State getting all the up the middle calls when our line was sucking. Little different since.

Chandler rarely gets tough yards except for one play against Bama which was a great run. Forced a hole on his own on that play. Maybe someone can post the video.
