Because I’ve been around this fan base and message board long enough to know that when UofL or certain teams hire a good coach in any sport there are a whole lot of our fans that will try to convince themselves that the coach isn’t any good, or a fluke, or just got lucky, or they’ll go to extremes to nitpick the guy’s record in two years at Purdue of all places. I mean I’ve probably seen a dozen Jeff Brohm related threads on this board since the season started and they’re always about how terrible he is or his success is a fluke or how he’s overrated or something along those lines.
Our fans are so ridiculous. Louisville has had two BCS Bowl wins including a win over Florida. They had a Heisman winner two years ago. Them landing a successful up and coming coach will do wonders for them.
