Does Louisville have the $$$ to pull off a Brohm deal?

[td75]

For those of you who are in the know, does Louisville have the potential to put the money together to fire BP and then hire JB??

Has there been any chatter from the brass that they could pull this off?? I hope he comes home to Louisville, I really do. He could win championships at Louisville!!

 

[beantowncard]

No

He could win championships at Purdue too. I love how you disappeared during Purdue’s winning streak and IU’s annual plummet.

Yes and yes. I’ll double check tomorrow.

Talking with a co-worker who goes out to his truck to listen to "sports radio" everyday told me that Auburn is showing interest in Brohm. "What"? "Wouldn't it cost 40-50M to fire Gus"? Supposedly they have boosters lined-up to that. I know that Auburn fans unhappy with Gus, anyone else heard these rumors?

At one time, they wanted to hire Bobby.

I listen to talk radio every day and have never heard that

 

[boiler1987]

Lol, is this dude an IU fan?

Yes he is. He came on the Purdue board earlier in the year talking smack about how IU would pass Purdue up this year and a bunch of other stuff and then disappeared once Purdue went on their winning streak and IU went on their losing streak.

The figure is 36 M and I haven’t heard any talk about Brohm. But that wouldn’t shock me.

I think they have to pay half within 30 days of him being fired

 

[Thecycle27]

We will have to see how it goes in the last 4 games, but they may not have a choice if it ends a badly as we all think. They will find the money if they go 0-4 with 4 blowouts. It won't be easy but the alternative could set them back 4 or 5 years. Recruiting would be worse in 2020 with this staff.

 

[SiouxfallsEric13]

Start the gofundme page, and I will be first in line. Bobby has neutered himself in hopes of rehabilitating his image and his career living him a shell of coach he used to be.

"Does Louisville have the potential" is a reworded version of "is there a chance"... Sure, anything's possible. Hell, they built an arena that was going to be hopelessly underwater financially from Day One. The better analysis is to present the financial facts and experience and try to base your arguments...

What we know...

• The ULAA lost $17 million last year.
• ULAA operations (football/basketball) are down $8 million so far this year.
• Petrino's buyout is $12-14 million.
• Brohm's buyout is $3 million.

What we can assume...

• Brohm's new contract will cost $5 million per year.

What's probably true...

• The ULAA can't raise much, if any, money for special purposes and projects.
• Pitino will cost at least a few million to settle his lawsuit.

The first group of bullets represent north of $40 million in known additional costs if Brohm is hired and since Tyra took over. Brohm's contract will probably cost about a million more than Petrino's annually. I'll wag that Pitino and additional deficits (nonoperating) we will experience this year could be as much as $10 million.

So you have $50 million in costs plus an ongoing cost of a million annually if Brohm were to come here. Where we stand today that we know about is about half that...

No doubt that based on what we know the money doesn't look right, but would you agree that prominent boosters could provide help and that there are other avenues of funding the buyout that maybe we aren't aware of? I honestly don't know....seriously asking.

Also, while the data we know as far as finances go doesn't look great the massive impact of bringing Petrino back needs to be considered as well. All we can do is hope that it gets figured out and we get Brohm because the university stands to bleed millions of dollars over the next few years if Petrino is retained.

Petrino is not coming back. It’s over. Simple as that. We will get the money figured out. It’s unfortunate on many levels that it’s come to this but it will get worked out. Lots of smart people that support the cards.

Stop arguing with UofTJ, UofPitino and
UofPetrino fans.

Theyre delusional.

Louisville needs to figure out a financial path to secure Jeff Brohm, they really do. Probably the only way down that very expensive path is via high networth booster/donor money. The other path that appears to be cheaper, at least up front, is far more expensive over the long haul.

Brohm is going to cost more than 5 million...Purdue could bump him up to 6 or more without much effect on the athletic budget.

Brohm knows he have UL over a barrel if it comes to that.

UL May have to go to 6.25 or 6.5

He WILL be the next coach at UofL.
December. Consider it booked.

Brohm wasn’t hit THAT hard in the XFL

He’s gonna get paid but he will coach st UofL next year.

 

[fkfootball]

He could win championships at Purdue too. I love how you disappeared during Purdue’s winning streak and IU’s annual plummet.

You beat a bunch of nobodies and won a fluke against OSU. IU lost to a lot of good teams except Minnesota.

 

[fkfootball]

Yes he is. He came on the Purdue board earlier in the year talking smack about how IU would pass Purdue up this year and a bunch of other stuff and then disappeared once Purdue went on their winning streak and IU went on their losing streak.

Lol. Both teams are probably going to win 5 games. IU and Purdue are mediocre. UofL is awful. None of us should really make fun of the other. The reality is, UK would probably take any of these 3 to the woodshed.

 

[fkfootball]

Stop acting like Purdue is a powerhouse in football. You had "1" good era under Tiller.

 

[fkfootball]

Facts about Jeff Brohm.

1. Started 0-3. Lost to Eastern Michigan. Purdue fans started to turn on him a little bit.

2. Beats 3 bad teams. Hes the messiah again.

3. Wins a fluke against OSU thanks to the Tyler Trent story(God bless him though.)

4. Comes back to reality against a decent MSU team.

5. Nobody willingly wants to stay at Purdue.

6. Even if he doesnt go to UofL, he will definitely go somewhere. Shepardsville is nicer than West Laughyette. No offense to B.C. residents. Lol.

Always bringing this guy up. Lol.

You left out beating mighty SEC kensucky so they cancelled the last game in the series.

Get lost blew clown.

Why does no one willingly stay at Purdue? What does Purdue not offer him that has him wanting to get out?/what does Purdue not offer that prevents him from being able to build a winning program/why is Purdue right now (not two years ago) a bad job? Everyone keeps saying this, but only back it up with what the Purdue job was two years ago.

At least for the time being, I list under "probably true" above that "the ULAA can't raise much, if any, money for special purposes and projects."

By that I mean that there is no recent experience that U of L athletics is raising (or able to raise) money from outside sources. Every time that Tyra has needed money in any significant amount, it has been withdrawn from ULAA reserves like the Hickman Camp Fund. Your guess is as good as mine why donors aren't giving Tyra money for purposes like this.

Tyra's greatest challenge at the moment is convincing the BoT that he should be allowed to spend money in reserves. But more and more of that money keeps getting spent. And I have zero confidence that the University will ever subsidize athletics under the current regime...

Well we haven’t even talked about his staff.

If he does go, and Holt gets interim for the bowl game and wins it/gets HC gig. Then how much of Brohms staff will remain at Purdue. It’s a possibility as the defense has far exceeded expectations. Holt would be in a nice position to offer key assistant coaches promotions and/or raises to stay at Purdue. Louisville will then be in a bidding war for some of the staff that have made Brohm that successful. Purdue could keep Holt, Poindexter, Williams, Barclay, Shepherd etc easily with current funds and the nearly 5 million from Louisville.

Then we get into support staff, including one of the best in Eron Hodges.

A lot of money required to get Brohm and all the pieces that have made him successful.
