Maybe he likes CURRENT Purdue players and/or administration, but that can change.  I tend to doubt he likes Lay Flat particularly.

I would be almost shocked if he stays at Purdue ten years.

Maybe, maybe not. If he decides to stay with Purdue, it could mean a few things. The first one could be that he loves Purdue and plans to be the King Barry of West Lafayette. The others could be he is holding out for an Alabama to open up or he wants to coach in the NFL (I'm highly doubtful on this one).
I don't think he's a lifer at Purdue. 
I think he's started the rebuild, and he wants to prove he can complete it. But once the program has achieved what he set out to achieve, I could easily see him wanting to do something else.

I agree with BWar on that.  IIthink he stays at Purdue for somewhere around 3 more years  I also think his next stop will be the NFL.  Just a hunch.

Dakich tweeted today that Brohm will be announced as the coach of Louisville on Nov 26.

Brohm after practice when talking to reporters called that "completely false".

Not sure how Dakich would even know that. Doesn't strike me as a guy who would get the scoop on that. He's a loud mouth blowhard. Not a college football reporter.
And if it were somehow true, what is Brohm going to say besides it's completely false? 
I'd bet Brohm is going to Louisville, but if he is it won't be until Purdue's season is finished. Purdue still has to get past Wisconsin and then Indiana to make a bowl. With the way they played vs Minnesota, neither of those games will be gimmes for Purdue.

On the other hand if he was distracted by some back channel Cardinal courtship, it might explain why the Gophers were able to take his team behind the woodshed that week.

Or maybe they were playing Ohio St and Minny was playing Purdue

He's definitely a dipshit, but I always thought he was somewhat dialed into Purdue and Indiana.
It certainly seems odd he'd come out so strong, that if he's not basing it on something, doing that would seemingly burn any bridges left in that athletic department.

A report specifying the exact date on which a coaching change is to be announced is not vague, obviously, and either is a fabrication soon to be shown to be such or is based on inside information.  

My GUESS would be that some very preliminary discussions took place, perhaps with an agent, and LV folks said they wanted to fish or cut bait by that date else it's off.

I hope he stays obviously, but I would not criticize him for "going home".

LV strikes me as a kind of marginal P5 program with little history that the ACC picked up out of desperation, but they do have some money, though perhaps not so much from pizza any more.

Oh, no question.  Rutgers was a terrible addition, for terrible reasons, but at least there were reasons.
Louisville was a 100% desperation add.  The WVU fans I know are still pissed that they were passed over when the ACC added Pitt and Syracuse, because their academics weren't good enough.  Then the Big Ten stole Maryland, they panicked, and went and got Louisville, with worse athletics and academics.  If WVU had waited it out, they'd be in the ACC, which makes way more sense in terms of geography and rivalries, but I also don't blame them for jumping to the Big XII when it seemed like if they didn't, they'd be stuck in the American.

This is an interesting moment because it means news reporting could essentially shift news. 
It might well have been true (who knows?), but now it damn sure won't be because the subjects control that one detail. 
It does remind me of something a scoops guy for CBS said. He explained his scoops don't include too much extraneous detail, like exact dates, locations because that's where someone is likely to jump you. 
If Purdue wants to lose to UW in hopes of keeping him, I'll take that bullet.
