Unlike the Hickory Barbershop Sycophant Society, national media is not yet crowning Brohm or Purdue.
ESPNU radio on XM/Siruis were congratulatory to Brohm for getting the money, but brutal on him "using Tennessee to get more money" last year, and "now using Louisville to get more money" this year, and on Purdue for paying a guy "$1,000,000 per win"
Neuheisel was flabbergasted that a school would pay this much to a guy who won 6 games
His cohort basically said Brohm should "put away the fiddle - shut up and build your program"
Purdue has a lot on the line with the hire now.
If Delaney gets his way and Wisconsin and Nebraska get back to national relevance like he originally planned, and the West stops being a national laughing-stock, Purdue may regret the re-hire.
Lots to like about Brohm, but he still is a novice HC, and he played Purdue for more money 2 years in a row. If he falters, they'll turn on him like a cobra.
The pie is in the oven.
Be fun to watch.
PS - UofL's AD threw shade at both Brohm and Petrino, saying he needed a coach who was as excited to wake up and work at Louisville as he was. Ouch.
