Jeff Brohm to Purdue

[UVA_Guy81]

Brohm didn't turn it around that was Taggart
WKU transitioned and went 2-10 0-12 in that period. 0-12 was first year in Sun Belt.
Under Taggart they went 2-10 then 7-5 and 7-5 (7-6 for the year but he left before the bowl).
Petrino came in for a year and went 8-4 largely with Taggart's players.
Brohm then went 8-5, 12-2, 10-3. that leaves it at Taggart's players from his last class he was building.

While I won't dispute that Taggart had a lot to do with the turnaround while still adjusting to the transition to the FBS, I don't think that he would've had the success that Brohm has had while he was there. I believe that with Brohm now gone that he left WKU in a better spot than when he took over. I'm just wondering who they'll go after now after Holt coaches the bowl game.

So far, if I'm not mistaken, the coaching jobs look like this:

Power 5 filled:
Indiana
LSU
Purdue
Texas

Power 5 still open:
Baylor
Oregon


Group of 5 filled:
FIU
Fresno State

Group of 5 still open:
Cincinnati
FAU
Georgia State
Houston
Nevada
San Jose State
Western Kentucky



If I can track down the coaching carousel thread, perhaps I'll copy/paste this info there.

I feel like Taggart is just above Fleck but still doesn't have quite the resume I would prefer.
Harsin has come up from Boise. But I feel like Oregon just fired a coach people are saying only won because of Kelly's players. so I don't see why they over look Petersen's players at Boise for Harsin.
Matt Rhule maybe. back to back 10 win seasons. but still a short head coaching career.

Question Oly...Would Oregon fans tolerate a more traditional coach that wasn't HUNH/Spread/throw it around the yard type?

Reason I ask is I've heard from my Baylor alum brother-in-law that there is a great big internal fight going on down there about what type coach to pursue. Seems there is a great number that are not willing to tolerate a more traditional coach unless they are willing to hire an offensive coordinator. (I told him they better just take the best they can get cuz there aren't a lot that want to deal with that mess.)

Hard to say. I for one wouldn't care. I grew up in the Brooks era and it didn't really change until I was in my 20s under Bellotti. I like the faster pace but I don't mind a slowed down methodical approach either.

THE RETURN OF PURDUE SANTA

I would be interested to know the deal about Fleck. There has to be a reason nobody hired him this off season. I've heard some rumors but have no idea if there's any truth to them.
