If you need evidence of what a program looks like

[JoAllan]

You just made my point for me. Purdue elected to stay with this guy cause he’s a good coach. They beat two “top 5” teams this year & won 9 games vs a highly competitive schedule. They were a good football team despite what most Vol fans think. You make the case that it would have been easy to fire him after last year but they didn’t.

The purpose of my post was despite Purdue recruiting at a level in the 30s or higher, most likely, but thru a consistent offensive philosophy & S&C program they can develop good players ( 3 likely drafted before Tennessee’s first will be). Tennessee has had 4-5 different S&C coaches over the last 6 yrs, many with varying philosophies. The strength development has been lacking for several yrs here, mostly due to changing coaches, styles of play & S&C techniques.

Tennessee needs to stop the musical chairs & look at consistency in the program and if they do, Tennessee can achieve levels far greater than Purdue and other programs similar who are winning on consistent leadership in their programs.

I didn’t make any point because there isn’t one. Literally everyone in the world knows that Tennessee went through a bunch of coaches……..and literally everyone understands it would be MUCH better not to have to do that.

No DUH Tennessee needs to stick with a coach……..if they can.

Everyone in the world knows this.

However nothing………nothing at all shows Purdue is a good, solid, great “program.”………which everyone needs to “look to.”

Simply “keeping” a coach doesn’t (in its self) make you a good program……..come on.

Call us back in 4 years if everything is going fine at Purdue.

Brohm won’t be at Purdue in 4 yrs. He’s already turned down overtures for several jobs but I suspect he’s ready for a new challenge soon & he’ll have the opportunity. The initial post was in reference to the numerous “fare Martinez, Banks etc” posts on this site.

Nobody said keeping any coach is good. I clearly stated the time had come and gone for the last 3 clowns Tennessee hired. But we think Tennessee has a good coach now so we need to be patient, allow him to build his program & see what it looks like in 4 yrs, not 4 months.

Perdue is the type of program to emulate when being average to maybe sometimes slightly better than average is fine with you.

The narrative about Purdue being out-manned in this game was always a crock. It was a typical media talking point that was repeated over and over again without context.

Our roster was cratered before the season even began, as evidenced by the disparity in available scholarship players between Purdue and ourselves. We saw the effect of this throughout the season and how our lack of starting talent and depth cost us (despite the great effort by our new coach to overcome it). We lost our starting QB, our two best RBs, some of our most talented and experienced linemen, our most talented DB (by all accounts), our two best LBs (one of whom was arguably our best defensive player), etc., etc....

Then, of the players who remained, our best RB (portal), OL (injury) & DB (NFL combine prep) did not play vs. Purdue. But all they could talk about was how poor Purdue was at such a huge disadvantage.

Thank you..this cant be said enough

Purdue’s QB lived up to the hype. He was really good…..but those iffy PI calls really helped them. I watched the Georgia and Bama games in the bowls….same type of coverage same physical game by the DBs and they weren’t called.

You take way some of those PI calls alone and we win by 10.

I am not going to get into Brohm as he is a decent coach and built a decent program. Reality is the refs really played a big part in this game for some reason when Purdue needed it.

We were also missing Simmons and Turnage.
