Yes I have been and the games have been fun. People have to make their own choices. Quality of play at home was good.
Brohm and Purdue killing it again.

- Start date
I agree - that would be dumb - except Brohm is better than Satterfield. I have no doubt that we’re Satterfield to leave for whatever reason, UofL would find another HC but, that wasn’t the premise - was it? You said that UofL could get an elite coach so I ask you again - what elite coach would realistically come to UofL?
I absolutely recognize that UofL was terrible in Petrino’s last year - have never said anything to the contrary. But even with that turd of a season, UofL was still 36-26 in the five years before Satterfield took over. And if UofL was such a disaster - how in the world did Satterfield post his best record in his first season?
Purdue was 9-39 in the five years before Brohm took over. If you can’t recognize the immense difference in those two sets of numbers and what they say about the condition of a program - again I’m not sure what to tell you.
Rondale Moore did in fact graduate from Purdue with a business degree. He took 35+ hours his final 12 months on campus to complete it before reporting to training camp.
It could happen , however said elite coach would never unpack. He'd be here 1 or 2 years at the most before getting poached.
How did Porky get to the position of being able to do that? He did it by building the roster over many years, because his administration was patient. We are in a similar situation, but with a more winnable conference. We are improving in the trenches, where games are decided, but we have a ways to go. Stick with the program.
He’s 8-5, with some inexplicable losses. CSS is 7-5, with some inexplicable losses. Maybe Purdue was in bad shape when he got there, but he’s been there longer than Scott has been here. It seems to me the argument for Brohm is the argument for Satt. I think if you give him a couple more years you’ll get results like Brohm has with Purdue. Purdue stuck with him even during down years and they got to where they are. No guarantee they start winning titles, but if we stick with Satt we will control improve. The idea the Brohm is a better coach that Satt is simply unsupported by any evidence. Besides, as the you have told us we can’t afford Brohm.
That’s your speculation but it’s not (because it couldn’t be) rooted in anything factual. What is fact is that attendance is worse than when Satterfield took over. I guess we’ll see if that changes next year but if it doesn’t - with all of the hype behind the recruiting class - it almost is certain to never do so with SSS here.
Your last sentence is correct, and I’ve reminded people enough. Simply ain’t happening here.
My issue is the Brohm butthurt part of our fanbase. The guy’s a good coach at Purdue, and some can’t admit that. He won’t be coaching here anytime soon, but I have no problem admitting any of that…
Stick with the program ?
The minute UNC calls, Satterfield will be in chapel hill before the question can be finished being asked.
Beamer at Scar beat SuCkS AND Clemson in year 2. Four years and nada for Aw Shucks.
It’s in barnfart’s DNA to not only stand pat but, negotiate against himself. That’s how Porky got a raise to 9M(!) per and sweaty cal got a lifetime contract with a never ending 50M buyout.
He may have been correct in his belief that uk could never get anyone better than Stupes but, that’s not the case here. We’ve had better - and a lot better - than we have now. How many additional years of seeing the same thing - hover around .500 and get dog walked by your two biggest rivals - do you need to see before it’s time to move on?
Wash, rinse - repeat.
So, we are following the UK model? Can’t get much more little brother than that. Heaven forbid we forge our own path.
Let’s wait to see if the Satterfield news is confirmed by someone other than Pete thamel. Last week Kiffen was “definitely” going to auburn.
Prolly - but by UofL? By Satterfield or his agent? That’s when you know it’s real.
it’s a done deal. He told his assistant coaches this morning. They are out on the road recruiting.
