He says they’re already planning and preparing for Kentucky. My goodness

Well, to be fair, they've probably written the only other difficult game on their schedule (Notre Dame on October 7) off as a loss, so what else do they really have to prepare for?
Of course they are. Why shouldn't they? Biggest game on their schedule and they haven't beaten us in years
He’s coaching them how to act after Kentucky drills them again.
Instead of taking one game at a time to make sure they don't overlook somebody they would rather take that chance to beat beat us. Their hatred for us, hopefully this will be the last game with them then they will care a lot less about what their program does. Why do we help their program?
Yes he did say they were planning against UK, I heard that a few days ago. About a week or so ago, Rich Brooks said we should build a statue for Mark Stoops. They have a thread, with that attached, saying only UK. But, I guess they don't realize they currently have a statue for a coach who went 54-56-2 over the course of 10 years, with 1 double digit win season and took them to 2 bowls. They were an independent at the time and had to play anyone they could, so they brag about playing Texas, ND, Alabama, etc. when we were scared to play anyone tough. I guess they don't realize, they were the throw away game for those teams, at the time.
Playing in Conference USA, the Big East and the AAC inflated their record and they don't realize that. But o`well, just keep beating them.

I would hope that during the off season our coaches watched and somewhat got a game plan together for UL as well as all of the other teams on our schedule. That way during the season with only a week to get ready they pull this out make adjustments based on how that team is doing in the current year and go from there.
Exactly why I continually say we need to cut them off. They desperately need to play us. Yet they do nothing for us
I would think the GA`s and non-field coaches would scout each team the week before we play, then we use game week to prepare for each game. Teams change from season to season, so I would think game planning now would be useless. Maybe I`m wrong.
Remember the guy that mentored him at UofLol always got to play us in September when we were the first (and only important) game on their schedule. It’s the playbook he knows. Unfortunately for him we are no longer the first game and there’s an additional 3 months before we line up across from them now and he will have to play 10 other teams before that day arrives.
Brohm appeasing their fan base with us as his top priority. Just how much can you be prepping with us having a new OC, QB and OL just to name a few. Also, by then, there will be a lot of players out. A season where we would be better off playing them early while we have all our starters.
It’s the jimmy’s and the joe’s, not the x’s and the o’s, Jeffery. Lol
We just got more, top to bottom, talent than the Cards. We are way more physical than them also. And nothing in the ACC prepares them for our physicality either….definitely nothing in their practice does.
They led the country in sacks last year, and could only manage 1 sack against our worst o-lines in years. Joker era bad o-line. One year don’t fix that.

I know I've said this before on here. When Petrino was at UofL, they would spend 1/3 of their time non-conference (sans UK), 1/3 of their time conference, and 1/3 of their time for UK.
Satterfield did NOT understand the importance of the rivalry. Believe me, Brohm does.
He's from here, he knows he has to win to start getting local and even some statewide recruits. If he can come in and win first year, that goes a LONG way when recruiting head to head.
Brohm is from a very good coaching tree, Howard and Petrino. Both can coach, even if you don't like them.
We do have more talent than UofL, but that's why the game is played. If it was played on paper, why would anyone show up.
It will be very interesting to see how they pan out this year. I think I saw where they have 42 new players. That's a lot of turnover.

Not sure they know what to prepare for. We don't even know what this offense is going to be yet.
If they are preparing, I`m sure they are watching film from Coen`s days here in 2021 and Rams film. But in 2021 we sole depended on Robinson and Levis`s ability to run. Now Leary won`t be running a lot (hopefully) and we have a lot more weapons.
Could you tell me the location of this statue? I would like to get a picture. TIA.
Jeff Brohm has always been 'All In' on Louisville football
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Lou Holtz wanted Jeff Brohm to play quarterback at Notre Dame when playing quarterback at Notre Dame was the sexiest position in college football.Brohm had the arm, throwing for 20 touchdown passes while leading Trinity High School to the 1988 KHSAA 4A title. He had the legs, running for another 589 yards and 12 touchdowns.
He had the academics, a 3.9 grade point average in Trinity's advanced program. He had the leadership skills to be voted senior class president.
Who says "no" to Holtz and Notre Dame? Did you ever listen to prime-time Holtz speak early in his Notre Dame career? Holtz could talk a Labrador retriever into believing it was a giraffe.
In 1988, the University of Louisville won eight of 11 games but failed to qualify for a bowl game. The Cardinals had not been to a bowl since 1977. Louisville was no Notre Dame.
In 1988, Notre Dame rolled to 12 consecutive victories and beat West Virginia in the Fiesta Bowl to win the national title. At Notre Dame, you could count on a bowl game and an appearance on the cover of Sports Illustrated.
Who says "no" to becoming the next Joe Montana to say "yes" to what was merely a cloudy vision of exciting things for Louisville football under Howard Schnellenberger?
Not me.
Not you.
Jeff Brohm did.
Brohm has always believed in Louisville football, investing his blood, sweat, tears, energy and emotions into the program. Louisville football is where he belongs and it is where he will be in his quest to fulfill the vision that Schnellenberger planted in this program nearly 40 years ago.
Nobody who has followed the Brohm family should be surprised that Jeff (head coach) as well as his brothers — Greg (administrative assistant) and Brian (offensive coordinator) — are leaving Purdue to return to the legacy that was started by their father, Oscar, who lettered as the Cards' quarterback in 1968 and 1969.
Yes, Brohm decided to stay at Purdue four years ago when the school tried to recruit him to follow Bobby Petrino.
The timing did not work then. Brohm was only two seasons into his commitment to upgrade Boilermakers' football. He agonized over the decision for several days and nights before announcing the right thing to do was stay in West Lafayette and continue the job Purdue hired him to do.
Brohm did that.
His last two Purdue teams finished 6-3 in Big Ten play. His 2022 team won the Big Ten West title, a first for a program competing in a division typically dominated by Wisconsin and Iowa.
His last two teams won 69.2 % (2021) and 61.5% (2022) of their games. The last time Purdue won at least 60% of its games in consecutive seasons was 1997 and 1998.
In six seasons, Brohm won 26 Big Ten games, which ranks third in Purdue history. He is one of four coaches to leave West Lafayette with a winning record since 1943. He did excellent work for the Boilermakers.
Brohm will do excellent work for the Cardinals. He believed in the vision for Cardinal football when the program competed in an outdated minor league baseball stadium remembered for traffic jams and an absence of amenities other than restrooms and concession stands.
He came to Louisville football and waited his turn as a backup to Browning Nagle as the Cards finally started delivering on Schnellenberger bluster by going 10-1-1 and beating Alabama, 34-7, to put an exclamation point on the 1990 season.
He persevered through a rebuild, breaking an ankle against Tennessee two games into a 2-9 season in 1991 and winning only five of 11 games the following year.
Brohm had options. He was also an all-state baseball player. The Cleveland Indians drafted him. Brohm played in the minor leagues on teams with Hall of Famer Jim Thome and All-Star Manny Ramirez.
But Brohm's head, heart and family DNA were in Louisville. He stayed through his fifth season. He quarterbacked the Cards to nine victories in a dozen games, including victories over No. 23 Arizona State, Texas, Pittsburgh and Michigan State.
Make a note of that last victory. It came in the Liberty Bowl. Some people advised Brohm not to play because of the five pins doctors placed in the right index finger on his throwing hand.
Brohm played. Of course, he played.
He left Memphis with the MVP award as the Cardinals defeated Michigan State, 18-7. He completed 19 of 29 passes for 197 yards and a touchdown.
In 20-degree temperatures.
And freezing rain.
Brohm was all-in on Schnellenberger's version for Louisville football then. And by leaving Purdue to become the next football coach at Louisville, Brohm showed that he is all-in on it again.

Yea that's my point. If we target 4 to 5 receivers per game and pass to run ratio is little heavy on pass then the prep is gping to be on personnel and not play calling. Just pointing out how insane saying "we are preparing for the last game" actually is. Sounds more like marketing line to get fans excited.
I think their fans would be more excited by free drink tickets at games than anything to do with preparing for the 12th game of the season in early August

The UK game is, if not the only, one of UL's 2 toughest games and has been every single year for decades. While UK has had to play UGA, UF, and UT every season during that time, plus another 1 or 2 of the toughest teams in the country from the SEC West, the Cats haven't had the luxury of preparing for UL so much. They were fortunate to get through the SEC schedule in most years with their limbs attached.
I don't know why a UL fan would post a long irrelevant post about Brohms playing days on a post commenting about the ease of their schedule that they can spend so much time on Kentucky this early, but it is cute. Even their fans have easier schedules than UK fans. Good for them
Yeah.... Well I guess they plan on losing a lot of games during the season if that is the case.
Why are you posting this **** here?

1. I get Brohm has massive ties to UL being a former Trinity HS star.....but to leave Purdue as a meh Big 10 program for UL who is a meh ACC program was a bad career move. The trajectory if you're out of Big 10 or SEC...that is a minimum starting point if you're a serious player in the next few years.
2. This is typical little brother behavior to talk about this level of focus for your final game of the season when you've 11 more games before you get to that game....and UK isn't a conference game.
We need to support SEC going to a 9 game slate and then that extra SEC game.....we should walk away from our final game being UL. Let their Kroger ticket give away be for the scintillating! Boston College slug fest....or amazing Syracuse amazing football prowess. Let the linebeards tailgate on Thursday night 3 games a year on ESPN 2....they deserve it.

Because
To be fair, we're also already preparing for the Louisville game... but we just call it playing against real competition. It's like posters have said since I first got on the board – we get ourselves competitive against the SEC and the Louisville game will take care of itself more often than not.
I tend agree with you. Leaving the Big10 was a curious move to say the least. But with articles like the one posted in this thread as an indication, I think Brohm saw it as an opportunity to go back home, win 7+ games a year, and then retire 15 -20 years from now as the savior of Card FB. Which is a pretty safe bet, considering their schedule. And I think Card fans wouldn’t turn on one of their own as long as he reaches that level of winning consistently. Though I do think a couple 10+ win seasons would have to be thrown in there to really keep the dogs of his heels.
The new Big 10 puts more pressure on all teams to win, even Purdue. And I feel Brohm had peaked there and he knew it. Why not go home to less pressure. Still agree with you that it was a bad decision, but I guess it depends on how you look at it.
A few things, as far as the "preparing for Kentucky now" is just red meat for the fans. Someday, they will beat us again but until they match our size and physicality in the trenches that is not going to happen anytime soon.
.0001 percent of coaches ever end their career on their terms. Saban probably will, Coach K did, Dean Smith and a few others but most likely you're going to get fired or forced into retirement. Some coaches have figured out it's best to get out when you've peaked at a place because you may not lose the job this year but it's not going to get better. Probably in 2-3 years you're going to wear out your welcome and be out the door and it's harder to get the next job coming off a firing. Especially when you still have another 10 years or so of career life
Satterfield did this, Tubby Smith became a master at it. I think Brohm is a better coach than Satterfield but I wouldn't classify his time at Purdue as anything special. They won two games in his tenure there that were major upsets nothing else that was special. He won the Big10 West last year with a team that went 8-6 and lost to LSU in the Citrus Bowl 63-7. I don't think he was unpopular with Purdue fans the way Satterfield was at UofL but I went to the Purdue boards when there was talk that Louisville was going to meet with him and there wasn't any tears shed about having to replace him.

That's just talk to fire up their fan base. They aren' t already really preparing for us. I can't believe that some of you think that was serious. It was coach speak.
I think Brohm came to Louisville for a couple of reasons.
1.) He came home, his family is here and he played there.
2.) Would you rather play Ohio State, Michigan, Michigan State, Iowa,Wisconsin, UCLA and USC or Clemson, Florida State and sometimes a tough NC or Miami? Winning in the ACC should be easier.

Brohm's track record is clear. He does well in rivalry games, so we should expect their best shot. He usually has one big upset in him per year (he beat Ohio state, he beat Michigan state, etc). He also loses to a few teams he has no business losing to each year. So, we need to be ready to see them fired up and playing for their lives on November 25.
Also, he may live to regret this b/c UL is about to fall WAY behind in the arms race that is college sports. Purdue will have a much richer athletic Dept than UL going forward.

I hope people are not taking Brohm for granted. He knows what he is doing. I would not judge his time at Purdue as an indicator of what he is capable of doing. Going from Purdue to Louisville is a big upgrade. There is not path to win the conference at Purdue, but Louisville can win the ACC in football. Brohm can get better players at Louisville and his schedule will be no where near as tough as it was at Purdue. It will be important that Stoops understands Louisville is going to be a different team with Brohm as the Head Coach.
We have to consider what it means to win the ACC. Playing one or two games against decent competition a year? A spot in the playoffs and getting blown out by OSU or Georgia? I'm not discounting that the move was solid from a tactics standpoint, but that is a double-edged sword.
Brohm may get more wins and easier competition, but that will come at the cost of funds. I haven't heard of any of the emerging superconferences even considering Louisville (not to say it isn't happening, mind you, I just haven't heard of it). It's a matter of time before the athletics in the ACC tank even further. UofL out kicked their coverage by moving from one dying conference to another, more importanter one – they are a C-USA program in P5 clothing.
Due to conference earnings and prestige within and around Indiana, I think Purdue has a much higher ceiling and will almost certainly have greater funding for facilities, recruiting, and assistants moving forward. Just how I see it.
I don't know how Brohm can get better players at Louisville. You'll have to explain that one to me. They aren't the premier school or team in the state and WKU could probably even give them a solid run for their money. Honestly, I see Louisville's recruiting grounds as the exact same as Purdue's, but without the draw of stellar academics. That's not a knock on Louisville, mind you. Purdue is just that good academically and has ties across the entire state and country. I see that paying dividends for NIL in the long run.
Brohm may well catch fire at Louisville, but it'll take time and evidence for me to believe the move was calculated and desireable rather than just trying to escape West Lafayette while the gettin's good.
You're giving him way, way, way, too much credit. Louisville is maybe a little better of a job than Purdue, there's still no major recruiting ground gap for Louisville and they have won zero ACC titles and that was with Petri no there. I think Brohm us an upgrade over Satterfield but good Lord stop acting like he's the second coming of the Bear and Lombardi.
