Sources tell FootballScoop that Brohm, through his agent, put that chip on the table in discussions with Louisville about their opening. Brohm wants years and dollars commensurate with what they see as a process that will take time to rebuild. The ask, we’re told, is meaningful but not what anyone in major college football these days would consider over the top. Thus far, Louisville’s side has maintained that there are other viable options who would accept less and that Brohm should be “more reasonable.”

The song and dance continue, but we have been told that Louisville has put a mid-week “deadline” for a decision from Brohm. Deadlines spur action. If he isn’t willing to commit, Louisville has told Brohm they will move on to further discussions with other candidates. It is worth mentioning however that Brohm’s buyout reduces by $1.1 million either on or after Dec. 5, which is next Wednesday.

Should Brohm not accept the job, the two names sources continue to tell FootballScoop are at the ready are App State head coach Scott Satterfield and Troy head coach Neal Brown. Both are proven head coaches who have won with far less resources than Louisville has to offer.

Just heard Rutherford shoot down this article. This story was out this morning, presumably before Jeff and Vince even met.

Did not we give Mack 7 years because it was thought that it might take that long to achieve top 10/20 status because of some uncertainty in that sport. Looks like we could give Jeff something similar to rebuild out program. Just a thought.

I'm leery of any article suggesting ' lines in the sand ' type language.I highly doubt any of that is happening.

Wouldn’t it be worth an extra million in buyout dollars to get him signed and out recruiting before 12/5/18?
