You're focusing on Purdue's last 20ish years. Not from today moving forward. You're doing the same regarding UC, at least back to Dantonio, not moving forward.

 

A) Purdue has a new AD, a blank checkbook, and PLENTY of money (their endowment, just as an example, is more than double UC's), not even referring to the Big 10 Cash Cow they withdraw from. Their new AD, in spite of many short-comings, knows how to build and sustain a program. He understands the region he is in. To expect the next 5 years to look anything like the previous 5 years is silly.

 

B) UC is in a bad spot. No President. A less than stellar AD. Financially strapped department. A Nippert renovation that still hasn't been fully funded. A 5/3rd renovation that is millions short of the $40 million needed. A conference situation not getting any better, which, by extension, means it is getting worse (the gap between the P5 and everyone else is only going to widen).

 

C) You are insinuating in posts that coaches are thinking about the next job when they take a job. You know, for a fact, that coaches aren't wired that way. When they sit in that presser on Day #1 they, to their core, believe they are staying there until God calls them home. That is how they are wired. They have to be to look Tommy, and his mom and dad, in the eye and win that living room. They have this innate sense to be all-in at a job, at a school, where they are the only one who truly believes they are staying -- but they truly believe that. Jeff Brohm won't be at Purdue forever, but today, 12/6/16, he believes he will.

If they end up with Charlie Strong, I think that would be a great get for the Bearcats.

 

You really dont think that do you?

If Notre Dame had been looking, I wonder if they would have had any interest in Brohm.

Anyone know if there is any truth to the rumor that Quinton Baker is following Brohm to Purdue?
