Block quote from an article I cited. Shouldn't be that hard. You figured it out.

Younger isn't always good thing in this business. Petrino's baggage is extremely minor compared to who they just tried to hire.

I'd take a guy who won on his own over another coattail guy like Brohm. Brohm may be good, but you just don't know because he's followed Petrino until this season.

Plus it would take a significant investment to hire Brohm. There are coaches out there that are equal to him that are cheaper in case we're back here again in 4 years.

Not quite.

This would be a home run hire. This guy is a great coach. Purdue football has been a joke for a while. He brought them back from the bottom of the BIG13.5 He has fire and we would be lucky to get him.

Brohm is a great candidate but I thought he already said he wasn't interested. I would take Brohm over Tee all day every day!

I think Brohm would be an excellent hire. Especially given our current situation. Mike Leach could also be a very good hire, if we went that route. Tee is questionable, however he could get a fan base behind him. Kiffin is unrealistic, however its a lot like an ex-girlfriend who continually gets more attractive after a bad break up. Sumlin, Milies and Houston are also a few interesting names. However, I am not sold on Chad Morris or Kevin Steele.

All the Brohm haters today will be the same ones asking why he wasn’t hired now instead of the third rate, below Lyle level of mediocre coach Haslam will let Currie end up bringing in.
He will be a great coach and will get a better job within 5 years. Once that happens any chance to land him are the same we have now of hiring any decent P5 coach now, none.

Why do we drool over a man that was 6-6 at mighty Purdue........

Because Purdue literally had not won more than 3 games in a season since 2012 and he is taking them bowling in his first year. Purdue even had 1-11, 2-10 type years in between. He is not a bad coach at all, just not a splash hire. Looks to be a great X's and O's coach. A little worried about recruiting because he's not a splash hire, but I would definitely take him over most of remaining lot

Brohm, Leach, Miles, Sumlin (no particular order)

One of these four. Guys with experience. We can get one of these guys.

Maybe because he took WKU from where Petrino left it (8 wins) to their first two CUSA championships and 10+ wins each time.

Do you know how bad Purdue was before he got there? They have one of the least talented rosters in all of P-5. He kept them in every game.

If UT "stumbles" into hiring Brohm... it will might well be a divine smile on a company of fools.

exactly. most people just look up his record this year without doing their homework. Purdue had been abysmal for years before he got there.

Would love to have Brohm. Are we still in any discussions with him?

What in earth could lead you to say that? Because Tee was the quarterback two decades ago and he ‘gets’ Tennessee? No.

That’s exactky why. It’s gonna be a risk either way, it’s common sense to take a risk with one of our own if we have to take one.

Agree on the latter.

On the former, considering what he had to work with in year one that was a pretty solid job. I posted this in another thread but it probably should be here instead...

I know Brohm is not the big name people want, but if it fell to him I believe he would do very well.

Went to grad school at Middle. I've seen his teams in person when he was at western ky. There are a couple of things that you all would like about him.

1. Great offensive mind. He developed two QB's Brandon Doughty who lit it up a couple of years ago and Mike White (who was terrible at USF) and led the nation in passing last year. His offenses are big play, go deep a lot, and expose and extend a defense both horizontally and vertically. Very difficult to defend.

2. Confident and cocky. If hired he would be like our version of a younger Spurrier when he left Duke and went to UF.

3. Comes from a football family and good coaching lineage. He's part of the Petrino tree and when it's all said and done I believe he will have a better career than Petrino. I actually already think he is a better coach than Petrino.

So, TIFWIW.

Honestly, I don't get why people are so against him. I understand that 6-6 at Purdue isn't something people get giddy over, but if you look deeper, I think this guy's gonna be a winner.

This article from Feb '16* (if I'm not mistaken, when I first found the article that's what it said, but now it says from 2 years ago) ranks the Big 10 recruiting classes from the previous 4 years, i.e. at the very least it's the jr., & sr. players Brohm is currently coaching. Purdue ranks dead last. Dead. Last. 0 5 stars, 2 4 stars. They went 6-6 in his first year. 4 of the 6 losses are to ranked teams. The 2 other losses are by a combined 3 points. 6-6 in his first season at a program with ZERO talent is pretty fecking amazing, honestly.

His three seasons at WKU, he went 30-10, with 5 of those losses in his first season. 12-2 in his second season, 10-3 in his third season. People say he won on the backs of Willie Taggart and Bobby Petrino there. Willie Taggart's record in 3 seasons at WKU...16-20. He peaked at 7-5. Petrino's one season there...8-4. He did better there than both of his predecessors.

Hate on him all you want, at this point, we'd be lucky to get him. And personally, a few years down the line, I think we'd be really happy we did.

Flame on.

Anyone who wants Brohm and has been vocal about not hiring Kiffin has zero credibility.

Brohm has been very vanilla. Has no name ID in terms of recruiting and is a big gamble hire after one season at Purdue.

I want either one. Rather have Kiffin, but I don't see it happening.

You have zero credibility. See how that works.

Anyway, there are going to be question marks for every coach. But the fact that he's vastly outperformed as his time as HC, and proved it further by doing so in year one at Purdue tells me he's a very good coach. I'll take that over flash and style anyday.
