Quick question, if he never played/coached at UK...would it be that big of a deal? I personally fear him going to UofL because I know he will light it up.
If he didn't run his mouth about us and have strong UK ties maybe. Missing out on a native son in Brohm over money and replacing him with an alleged slapd1ck won't do any good for Tyra.

Yeah, the other candidates will take less, for now. Their second or third season, another school will approach offering 4 or 5 million while UofL is paying 3 mill.

Louisville is the ACC, not C-USA.

Pay the man.

Otherwise be prepared for 40,000 per ho.e game and probably another losing season.
I agree Kerry. Tyra needs to just grow a set and pay the man. Want to keep the seat at the big boy table, then act like a big boy.

Its not so much running his mouth as an arch rival. That basketball coach who shall never be named put down UofL regularly.

Its that if you hire Brown, he's the first one that SuCkS will come after him once stoopID is fired or leaves.

An the fact that Tyra being a SuCkS alum, wont sit well with alot of Cards fans.

I would bet a decent sum of money that if Brohm surprises everyone that Neal Brown wouldn't be the first option.

I would read up on Scott Satterfield if I were worried about Brohm not coming. ;)

I've seen other people say this too. It's like giving him a P5 trial run before Kentucky comes calling

IF WKU didn't go calling for Neal Brown why the hell would Louisville want or should hire him? WKU paid Pertrino,Brohm more than Troy does Brown now .

Brown isn't leaving for a non-P5 job yet. Especially to head to WKU.

At this point he should have bigger ambitions.
WKU should set their sights higher than Neal Brown. I mean yeah...he's taken Troy on the road and won at Baton Rouge against an LSU team that ended the year in the top 20...on his way to possibly 3 straight 10 win seasons...3rd straight bowl appearance after not making one for 4 years before he was hired....2-0 in bowl games....and this is at Troy....but hey he's not on WKU's level because he coached at sUcKs one time (like Mike Leach 20 years ago and he turned out bad)! Awful coach! Very Sad!

WKU hired Tyson Helton to be HC.
USC Clay Helton's brother.

Really it put pressure on both but more so Vince
He is going to have to do a lot of explaining to an unhappy fan base if he doesn't get this done. Ordinarily I would expect that he might have issues getting money approved from the BoT but, they should not with Brohm. Unless we're talking 6M + - this is a no-brainer situation.

There's a successful college coach (11-2 this season; usually wins 9+ games every year) nobody is talking about who is from this region and whose season just ended. My bet is Grissom could swing the deal as he likely knows him personally.

The coach at Centre is not in play at this point
