I do wonder if Brohm ends up getting some looks at Oklahoma or one of the other big open jobs
Offensive minded coach and Purdue was actually a lot of fun to watch this year
Lane Kiffin has to be laughing right now. I could see him ending up in Baton Rogue or Norman

BZ floated Brohm and Fickell in the UK football thread if Stoops leaves. I don’t see Fickell considering Lexington and even if he does if/when Ryan Day goes back to the NFL then they would lose him to Ohio State.
Brohm just seems like the guy who replaces the guy who takes Oklahoma. Kentucky just seems like an odd fit with Louisville ties but Kenny Payne worked out for us in basketball.
Brohm isn't going to coach Kentucky. Brohm and Payne are pretty differnt things.

Greg, Jeff, Brian and Oscar Brohm all grew up in Louisville and played at Louisville. Kenny Payne came from Georgia to play 4 years under Denny Crum. Not quite the same family connection to the city or the rivalry. If Petrino was still at Louisville killing it, that would be one thing. But there's no way Jeff Brohm is turning down Louisville and three years later turning around and taking the Kentucky job. Donna Brohm would disown him!
You could point to Howard Schnellenberger as a precedent, but every Louisville fan knows Schnellenberger would have taken the UK job in a heartbeat over Louisville if offered. But it never was. UK never hired Roy Kidd or Howard Schnellenberger because...I guess Cliff Hagan was an idiot. But I'm glad, because Howard is a hero at Louisville, and I loved going to Richmond for EKU games while Kidd was still there. (I was a big fan of Jerry Claiborne, too, by the way. We had some great coaches and people with Claiborne, Schnellenberger, Mallory and Kidd all coaching in the region at the same time).

What would you say.....ya do here?
Plummer isn't any good. I know Rattler gets a ton of crap for his performance earlier this season, but he was fantastic in 2020 and was the #1 recruit in the country out of HS. If that O'Connell guy comes back, sure, roll with him. If he does not, and Rattler wants to come to Purdue (which is a long shot), you absolutely take him and who cares how Plummer takes it.

Seeing reports that Venables will take the OU job.
