Bobby Petrino is officially OUT as the Head Coach of Louisville Football, effective immediately, following his 2-5 start and failure to uphold values to the school and ethical standards. (Insider sources have confirmed with Daniel Bird on his walk to the SAC this morning)


Wow. Makes me think they are going all in on Brohm. Only reason they do this right now imo.

it would really suck for Purdue and the conference. He looks like a really good coach who is building something at a place that had been maybe the worst program in the P5.
Louisville is home though. He's from the area, was a star HS player there, went to college and played there, his father was a QB there, his brothers went to college there, he coached there for 5 years as an assistant as well.
If he's offered that job, which he will be, I bet he takes it.

yup, I like the idea of a strong Purdue in the West

I also like the idea of a scumbag like Petrino getting the boot

I would hope Purdue could at least match the money offered from Louisville and have a chance to keep Brohm.

I'm hoping Brohm would hold out for a great job at a helmet school instead of a crap football school like Louisville

Yeah, that well could just be verbiage, if this really were real from the UL.
I know the ACC felt pressure to find a 14th program quickly, but I think they erred.
I'd rather coach at Purdue even knowing I might not be able to recruit the same players as at UL.

Louisville is one of the most depressing God-forsaken cities I have traveled to - spent two weekends separated by about 5-years there.

University of Louisville is a step down from Purdue.  

While Louisville invested in its football program the past decade or so, it sounds like Louisville fan crazy-talk to me. Petrino has produced results at Louisville. They rehired him notwithstanding his personal issues at Arkansas. I can't see it; they'd have to have some very serious breach of the morals clause, and a consensual extramarital affair, if that's what the fan hope and fan talk is about, doesn't cut it.

Reportedly the buyout for the head coach alone, is about $14M. Where would they find that money, and money to pay Jeff Brohm. This is entirely silly, to me.

It is Fake News, though probably born out of a bunch of message board rumors that Petrino is in trouble

We used to visit Laville some back in the day, at times because air fare used to be a lot cheaper than out of CVG.  We found some nice restaurants there.  The downtown area was a bit mundane I thought.  The Seelbach Hotel was interesting.  I thought the riverfront was underdeveloped, or we missed seeing the part that was.  Traffic was bad.

I don't imagine it is any worse than Lay Flat, Indiana.

Honestly, losing a coach before he hits his full potential sucks. Equally true, though: Purdue should feel glad at least that Brohm isn't at Tennessee this season. For a time, they seemed poised to pick Brohm. No doubt that was a disaster of a search that waffled over a monstrous lists of candidates. But still. There's more than one universe in which Brohm never even made it to Purdue Year 2.

From Lay Flat you can visit Chicago or Indy very easily, which is kinda nice.
