Brohm to Interview at Baylor

[Coach Bill Lewis]

Patty Forde reporting Brohm will interview with Baylor on Sunday.  Good hire IMHO.

 

[Cr1028]

Interview and hire aren't the same thing. Title doesn't match your story.

Edit:..at least you corrected it or somebody did for you.

I'm not sure where Brohm is going but I don't think he will be at WKU next year. 

ETA:

Tuberville has stepped down. 

[UNTLifer]

Tuberville is a POS.  Considering what he did at Tech to a room full of recruits prior to accepting the UC job, I hope he doesn't find another job leading young men.

Brohm would be interesting at Baylor.  They would be just like Tech though, all offense and no D.  That CUSA Championship was an embarrassment to defensive football.

That's not just Tech, that's just about the entire (not so)big 12...

[UNTLifer]

True, outside of K-State, and they gave up 22 pts. per game, there wasn't much D in the Big XII this year.

I would much rather watch a 24-17 game with good defense over a UNT/Navy "ish" 72-64 game any day.

Yeah, what a POS that Tuberville is, just like most church-going supporters of the military:

So bad, even the Freedom From Religion Foundation leftists took notice:
https://ffrf.org/news/news-releases/item/23528-state-church-watchdog-issues-report-damning-college-football-chaplains-coaches

"The report maps out the spread of these chaplains, which often trace back to head coaches Bobby Bowden or Tommy Tuberville.   Bowden and Tuberville's assistant coaches, players, chaplains, and in Bowden's case, his son, spread this religious epidemic."

Can't have the coaches spearheading "religious epidemics."

But, really...why would Texas Tech be mad?  They got to hire their own Texas Tech Jesus, Hairgel Hands, who has carefully crafted a 24-26 record there (13-23 in the Big 12).

With a hefty raise (I believe he was making roughly $1 million at Western Kentucky, including incentives):

Quote

Purdue: Jeff Brohm’s contract will reportedly be a 6-year deal worth $20 million, according to multiple reports.

Seems very Tom Herman-like. I didn't even know about the Ole Miss deal.

Yep, he has done some good.  He also walked out on a table full of Tech recruits.  Got up, took a phone call and walked out without even the courtesy of an explanation.  I am not even a Tech fan, but that was about as classless as you can get.

And?

Employment is a two-way street:  they can fire you, you can quit.

Buy-outs are negotiated before the coach ever sets foot in his office and begins recruiting. 

So, coaches who leave before they are fired are "POS?"  Baloney.

And, I don't buy for a second that the majority of players don't understand that college football that the FBS level is a business first.  All you have to do is look at how the conferences are structured. 

No Houston player - not one - could have possibly really deep down believed that Herman was staying there. 

As far as Tuberville is concerned, he gambled and lost.  After a couple of seasons there, he could easily see there was no way to win the Big 12 at Texas Tech.  At the time he went to Cincy, they were just a season removed from being in a BCS bowl.  At the time, the path to a better bowl and conference titles seemed to be at Cincy. 

He was AAC co-champ in 2014.  Next year 7-6.  This season it crumbled on him.  He exited with a negotiated buyout.  He's 62.  What do you want him to do, drag out his decline the way Mack Brown did at Texas? 

Tuberville has spared the Bearkats the embarrassment of running them into the ground for another year or two trying to prove he could still do it, when the greater evidence of the past two seasons says he can't.

The guy was 159-99 in 21 season as a head coach.  He had a good run, and he knew it...and, got out before the game totally passed him by.  He'll make a great talking head for some network on Saturdays. 

I hear Verne Lundquist is retiring, so the deck will be shuffling at the SEC and their affiliates.  I bet he can get worked in there somewhere for a TV gig.  Mack Brown is doing great in that role with ESPN/ABC.   

If you ask me, he's done Cincy a favor:  gotten out while they can still get a good coach during the recruiting period, and negotiated a smaller buyout than if they'd had to fire him without cause.

As for Texas Tech, they could have opted for a better coach after Tuberville left, but settled for Hairgel Hands.  It's not Tuberville's fault that the Tech AD was an imbecile and, basically, shoved his head up his backside in hiring a coach as inexperienced as Hairgel Hands was.

Texas Tech is what it is, a pox.

I feel no sadness for the programs that lose coaches. I feel for the players and parents that have a used car salesman with a whistle like Tom Herman come into their living room and promise to take care of them for the next several years and leave less than a year later. None of those UH players probably thought he'd leave less than 2 years after taking the UH job.

I think the worst was that he knew he was leaving before the Memphis game that he was leaving yet he looked those young men in the eye after the game and lied to them anyway. No integrity. I get that some coaches dance around that question when asked by their players if they are leaving but to look them in the eye and lie to their face knowing you'd be taking your UH-donor provided car to the airport the following day  to board a plane for a 1 way trip to Austin is despicable in my view.

Quote from one of the WKU safeties,

"The fans can't be mad coach left when none of all even show up to the conference championship game....."

 

Then again, they probably didn't show up because they might play La Tech in 2017 and lord knows you can't watch the same two teams play twice within a year.

Texas Tech is what it is, a pox. 

1.  Nobody said that coaches who leave before they are fired are a "POS."  It is how they left.

2.  Tuberville: Maybe "his better path" was at Cincy instead of Tech.  Again, you can leave with class or be a POS and walk out of a dinner with recruits without explanation.  Classless.

3. How he leaves Cincy is beside the point and off topic.

4.  Stating "Mack Brown is doing great in that role with ESPN/ABC" is laughable.  Is there a more irritating voice on television or radio?

5. Who Tech chose after Tuberville left has nothing to do with the topic other than to allow you to spew your hatred towards them, which we already are well aware of, but since you brought it up...Tech hired Kingsbury to satisfy their fan base with a link to Leach's greatest season.  Kingsbury did wonders with Manziel at A&M but it appears being a head coach is over his head.  He doesn't pay attention to the "other side of the ball" and that has killed them every year.
