Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[UpstateVol613]

If Phil is such a great recruiter, he needs to be talking to our current players about staying for whoever the next coach is.

It sounds crappy but them punting on the one time transfer this year would be good for us.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Never mind.

I hate Gus as a coach...period. Nothing besides being proven wrong will ever make me change my mind. If he was to be hired here, I would beg to be proven wrong.

 

[Weezer]

We are about to get marroned on a desert island and I feel fine.

If your idea of a good time is being trapped on a desert isle with Doug Marrone, well, I'm speechless. I don't know what to say to that. Obviously not who I would pick.

And again, I am not advocating for a coach just for simply bringing x coach up and asking what the general consensus is.

Just because I’m not obsessed with coaches who are NOT going to be hired here like Freeze, Campbell, Kiffin, Fickell, etc., doesn’t mean I don’t know what I’m talking about.

I bring Brohm up because I know for a fact we hired him in 2017 and that Peyton, the Haslams, and Fulmer were all on board with it and they will all be involved this time around so it’s possible, maybe even likely, they call Brohm again to see if he’s still interested. And things at Purdue haven’t taken off for him like he assumed it would, so my bet is he would be inclined to move if we called.

I think Brohm blew his chance when he turned it down then. He was coming off 3 really good seasons at WKU and took a Purdue team to 7 wins in his first year when they had 3 the year before. He is 12-19 since then.

I think this is an interesting name. It's no home run. Looking at his record now kinda gives me Dooley vibes, but I got excited about Brohm last time around.

I haven't watched much Purdue football though. I definitely would have thought he would be winning more games there.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

I will laugh in your face when we fire the dude after 3-4 years of averaging 6.75 wins a year...I'll wait.

Actually this isn't true, I would hate to be right, and would just hang my head and cry.

I can't break the code. Help a bro out lol

I'm sure he could whip up one hell of a .

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

He would probably get a 10 year extension with that many wins.

Sad...but true

 

[volfaninpa]

Brohm would check the box in being a quality offensive coach. The way he handled that young fan with cancer being a part of the team was amazing. Purdue running Ohio State and Urban Meyer was great.

Besides that, he's been mediocre at best at Purdue.

My post isn't about Fulmer. It's you. You missed the whole point of my post but I will say this, Fulmer's backing of a loser, his living in the the coaches meeting room and interrupting practice trying to coach. He WAS a coach but a terrible AD and the Lady's B Ball hire will be his next failure that the new AD will have to fix. But I'll make this easier for both I will put where I put Bruin.

Just about every athletic program is better today, than it was December 1, 2017. Football isn’t the only thing on Phillip’s priority list. Which is also better, by the way.

Thank you sir. You are a scholar and a gentleman.

A little bird is singing.
hmmm...I hope that bird has been following cornbread droppings

Listen bud, I'm flattered, but I'm not Jesus Christ, I'm the Dalai Lama. He was the Son of God, I'm just a guy that has lived a lot of lives.

And your suggestions really are horrible.

Is the football program better? Cause I don't think we've beaten anybody with a pulse since then.

He would have to be paired with a great defensive staff...but then so would every other offensive minded dude we have been talking about. He should have taken this job when he had the chance.

Yep. You can't sell him as the hire now.

I tend to agree with this assessment, however, I could see him being the pick of a couple of others turn us down.

Much like Marrone with Syracuse, the record doesn’t tell the full story regarding Purdue.

 

[Headvol]

If there's a positive takeaway, it's this - the East is probably 1 game easier than the West. Take all those 4 loss seasons and make them 3 loss seasons. I think I could live with that. Still hate his record vs Smart though. Not good.

Maybe every other team in the east is a game easier than the west but not our schedule bc we have bama ga fla every year

 

[drvenner]

We need an insider named Loose Lips that will tell us everything.

Absolutely. The ship is already sinking, so we might as well.

The last part is what I'm interested in. What's the story? I know Purdue is a tough place to win. But why couldn't he continue to elevate the program?

 

[SPEDVoL14]

Would prefer Fleck to Brohm.

Speaking of Salter, can someone explain to me how the state of Texas is still playing their playoffs? Everyone else has been done for a at least a month.
