I like Indiana, there's never been any consistency there since i've been a gopher fan and really like their coach and how the team carries itself.
I like Indiana as well. Both PJ and Allen seem to have great support from their players. We ended last year with a good win and Indiana had the heartbreaking loss to TN later that night. Maybe that lit more of a fire in their belly coming into this crazy year. Allen does appear to be less polarizing with fellow BIG coaches than PJ. I do think PJ is the right guy for us.
Agree. Brohm was definitely the one PJ was benchmarked against and the after game handshakes are great. I think Brohm actively pursuing other options has hurt Purdue. Not impressed with Frost, but if he keeps bringing in good talent he could be successful. Allen seems to have best traits of PJ and Kill in his personality. Appears to be old school while also flamboyant.
They were asking the same question about us this time last year. Until they do it year in and year out, they are no better than us nor we them. We are on parallel paths though and it will be interesting to see which one of us solidifies into a consistent winner and threat. I like our chances better since we are in the west.
No.
Surprised people seem to think Brohm wants out of Purdue. He just turned down the job at Louisville where he played QB.
Really? I think Allen would be more likely to leave based solely on the difficulty of trying to battle the big 3 every year.
Yep, much better to be a coach in the Legends Division vs the East Division
Allen's an Indiana native with super strong ties to IU. He's the epitome of local guy makes good. Guys like him are the reason the likes of Tony Dungy, Mark Trestman, Cory Sauter and Mike Grant will inevitably get mentioned whenever there is speculation on who the next Gopher coach will be.
That makes sense, didn’t realize he was an Indiana native. Looks like he even coached at Ben Davis H.S. part of the time Marquise Gray was there.
