November 12, 20187 yr Doesn't all this maybe lead one to pause about Brohm's coaching chops? If he's been able to up the talent level at Purdue, which you claim is a horrible job, but the W-L record is no better than what it's been for the past 20 years, is it fair to wonder how well a job he does at coaching said talent? Brohm has really only brought in 1 recruiting class so far. He was hired in December 2016 so not really time to put together that class. So his only class of his own was last year.
November 12, 20187 yr Your right. UK's has all the advantages. That's why they've had all this success in my life time, oh wait... But what do I know, I'm obviously not as smart as you since Purdue has clear had no luck winning football games the last 20 years. UK has missed on coaching hires and at the end of the day it’s up to the coach to utilize those advantages. Not sure how this thread about Petrino shifted to UK though.
November 12, 20187 yr According to Odds Shark the odds to be the next HC at UL: - Jeff Brohm (HC Purdue) -200 - Chip Long (OC Notre Dame) +250 - Ryan Day (OC Ohio State) +300 - Charlie Strong (HC USF) +350 - Brian Brohm (OC Purdue) +400 - Lane Kiffin (HC FAU) +450 - Field +150 Edited November 12, 20187 yr by GrantNKY
November 12, 20187 yr ^At best, he'd (Brohm) be my third choice from that list... It would be between Brohm and Kiffin for me and between those two I'd go with Brohm. Strong wouldn't even get sniff if I'm making the decision. Long and Day both are intriguing but I'd rather have Brohm.
November 12, 20187 yr ^At best, he'd (Brohm) be my third choice from that list... Who would be ahead of him?
November 12, 20187 yr Who would be ahead of him? For me, I'd go Kiffin and the field over him. Would be very intrigued by Day as well.
November 12, 20187 yr I must say I do think Brohm is the right guy, but Lane Kiffin in Louisville would be a lot of fun. I don’t know if he’d win, but it would definitely bring a lot from an entertainment standpoint.
November 12, 20187 yr For me, I'd go Kiffin and the field over him. Would be very intrigued by Day as well. Well who not named would you prefer? Day will be a P5 head coach next year, just not sure where yet.
November 12, 20187 yr Read somewhere that, based on the extension he got last year to 2024, Brohm's buyout # goes down by $1M on DEC 6. No need to spend an extra $1M so unless Purdue is being kind or wants to get pointed toward their bowl game, don't expect to see the announcement before then even if deal is done. I would like to see Brohm come to UofL, but I wouldn't "crazy overpay" to get him. I'd overpay, but not "crazy overpay." I'd be open to a return by Charlie Strong. Didn't blame him for taking the Texas job when he left and suspect he learned a lot and is a better coach now (and he was a very good coach then). More importantly, Charlie would bring a lot of personal responsibility back to the program - which is sorely needed. Mack seems to be on that path in restoring the hoops program. Strong would be a good candidate to do it with the pigskin. Don't know much about Babers, but if he's interested, I'd give him a strong look. As to $, Vince Tyra needs to sell the naming rights on the football stadium (probably lots of contractual garbage with Papa that needs to be cleaned up, but get that done and get some $ in the bank) AND go to adidas and explain, "Yeah, I know you guys stroked us a massive check right before the world came crashing down on the hoops program, but you were also right in the middle of why that happened. We're going to renegotiate that massive deal to a 'massiver' deal which will tell me that we have a real partnership here." Tyra should then go out to the football season ticketholder base and say - anyone who renews their season tickets before the UK game can buy as many seats as they want to the UK game for $1. Only catch is that we are going to video the crowd on game day and any of the season tix or $1 seats that have someone wearing blue in them, we'll refund your 2019 season ticket deposit and cancel your order. :ylsuper:

November 12, 20187 yr Well who not named would you prefer? Day will be a P5 head coach next year, just not sure where yet. Babers, Campbell, I think Fickell would be a good hire there too. I think you could also make a case for a guy like Harsin. Also, a name sort of out of left field, but how much fun would Mike Leach be at UofL?
November 12, 20187 yr Babers, Campbell, I think Fickell would be a good hire there too. I think you could also make a case for a guy like Harsin. Also, a name sort of out of left field, but how much fun would Mike Leach be at UofL? Matt Campbell is definitely the top name on that list. It’s an interesting situation though because I really do think he’s going to be the next coach at Ohio State. Does he wait Urban out in Ames or does he go somewhere else and risk potentially losing out on the OSU job? Mike Leach would be amazing in Louisville.

I get the ties that connect Brohm to Louisville, and I imagine he'd do well there, but I think you'd be doing a disservice to the program to not a least reach out and gauge interest from guys like Babers, Campbell, Fickell, Leach, Kiffin, etc.

To gauge interest. No matter what you have at least 3 weeks before anyone will accept the job because no one is leaving their current place until the regular season is over. I’d be surprised if UL hasn’t reached out to all of the names you’ve listed already.
