Jeff Brohm

Thought he could do better than that.

 

[MTsumner92]

Yeah but Purdue is licking their chops. They must of made a good offer. Where is Brohm from?

Brohm is from Louisville.

Good. Maybe we'll get lucky and they'll hire a dud.

 

[MidTnBlues]

I don't share your opinion on this.I hope they get a great coach. WKU being good pushes us to be better. WKU being good and MTSU being good is great for the conference.

 

[MTLynn]

If MT takes care of its own business then it doesn't need wku or anyone else

 

[FranklinRaider315]

Good. Maybe we'll get lucky and they'll hire a dud.

Their first season in FBS (2007) they beat only one FBS opponent and finished 7-5. Guess who?

Then they've had a run of
Taggart
Petrino
Brohm
I get the feeling they ain't gonna hire another dud.

 

[MidTennMtneer]

And word has it now that Taggart is on the top of the list for Oregon. Talk about a quick jump.

Actually competition requires an opposition Lynn. I don't want to dominate a conference full of scrubs every year. It just discounts your accomplishments.

 

[BRaiderDave]

I want this conference to be so good that it forces us to do the same.

As a fan, I don't get the feeling that there is any sense of urgency on MT's end. It's like the tortoise and the hare, except in this case, MT as the tortoise has been lapped several times...

Agreed Space. I also get a "woe is me"/"we are doing all we can" kind of vibe from the staff/AD. There is a fear of being bold.

Our coaches conservative philosophy has consumed our entire program with a shroud of acceptable mediocrity.

I agree with both of these. THink about the best athlete that you have ever seen who didn't work hard and didn't do everything possible to elevate himself. Thats what we are as an athletic department. We show flashes of brilliance but we don't go the extra mile to elevate ourselves above everyone else

And meanwhile WKU has won back to back football titles.

If Brohm stays they will have a good chance for a threepeat

 

[JohnDavidBlue]

Brohm to Purdue. You can see success in programs like ours when they keep sending coaches up.

They'll be okay. I'm sure they will promote their OC

I see what you did there. LOL!

 

[MTsumner92]

I am as disappointed as you guys are that we didn't win C-USA. Hindsight 20/20 we wouldn't of won it anyway due to Stockstills injury imo. It is time for a conference championship. If Stock doesn't get it done while his son is here then I believe he will not get it done.

 

[MidTnBlues]

I'm not confident I am correct in this statement, but I thought Jeff was calling the plays after his OC went to USC last year.

I believe they are interested in the Special Teams coach Levine.

 

[MTOleBlue]

Whoever it is, I hope Coach Rick Stockstill can figure THEM out and help us beat WKU for once. I am sick and tired of losing to them and, in turn, losing the race for division champs.

 

[blueraiderJT]

Brian was their OC right so he's going with Jeff. Yes, Jeff was mainly calling the plays. WKU will have to re-tool with a whole new offensive line as well since the OL coach is going with Brohm. Gonna get interesting.

Wales is gone
Norris is gone
Taylor is gone

Here's your whole list. That's a lot to lose plus your whole coaching staff. Dang. Brohm left when his stock was high. Says a lot.

2 Keith Brown LB 6-1 240 SR Miami, FL
2 Taywan Taylor WR 6-1 195 SR Louisville, KY
7 Tyler Ferguson QB 6-4 225 SR Bakersfield, CA
8 Marcus Ward DB 6-3 210 SR Birmingham, AL
9 Omarius Bryant DL 6-3 310 SR Byram, MS
9 Nelson Fishback QB 6-2 215 SR Durham, CA
12 Nick Dawson-Brents DL 6-3 275 SR Charlotte, NC
15 Nicholas Norris WR 5-9 175 SR Miami, FL
15 Joseph Occhipinti P 6-3 190 SR Nashville, TN
17 Stephon Brown WR 5-9 190 SR Atlanta, GA
18 Shaquille Johnson TE 6-4 235 SR Lake City, FL
20 Anthony Wales RB 5-10 195 SR Louisville, KY
24 Devante Duclos DL 6-1 240 SR Miami, FL

Mike White comes back but who does he throw to?

Brohm has called offensive plays since his ascension to HC three years ago.

Are you sure the youngest Helton brother didn't call plays last year? He's on staff at USC this season

 

[AustinLewis]

Yes. Brohm called plays. Petrino called plays when he was there in 2013 when Brohm was OC.

 

[sWiley]

Good for Brohm and good for WKU. Must be nice winning all those championships and graduating coaches to Power 5 programs.

Purdue's getting a great coach and should be able to at least compete with the Illinois and Indiana's of the world.

 

[SpaceRaider]

Taggart, the former wku coach, at South Florida, hired by Oregon.

 

[JohnDavidBlue]

There is a pattern here. #leftbehind

 

[MTFNBY5]

I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere (I even could have missed it being mentioned earlier in this thread) but who will be coaching The Red Towels against Memphis?

Is Brohm taking any assistants with him (that have already gone or been confirmed to go after the Bowl Game)?
