did not watch but half the 2nd quarter yesterday (at the beach), but read the reviews, and glad I missed the carnage.

My quick thoughts:

1. Can't bring Stoops back, otherwise, we will have a $165M white elephant on our hand with zero fans inside

2. Call Jeff Brohm now, while he is still available. He won't be in Bowling Green next season. There really is not a good 2nd choice.

3. After Brohm, my only other thoughts would be another older successful coach like Brooks, instead of yet another "hot" coordinator (see Joker and Stoops for how that has worked out), First choice would be to offer Gary Patterson whatever he wants, then talk to maybe Cutcliffe, Tuberville, or others like those two.

4. My actual first choice would be to hire the best coach not named Jeff Brohm, from a Non Power 5 conference available, which person that is, I don't know, but hopefully our AD, whose job that is to know, will have a clue.

5. Mitch needs to be held accountable!!!

Now . . . I need some sunscreen.

No Jeff Brohm...his dad would never let him coach here...they are all UL all the time...he is next UL coach
 
"In the event that COACH terminates without cause, or resigns/retires, COACH agrees that for a period of two (2) years following said termination, he will not accept employment or render any services to the intercollegiatefootball program of any other college or university in the Commonwealth of Kentucky."

That rules out Brohm. Rules him out at UofL too unless he leaves WKU and coaches somewhere else for 2 years first.
 
I coached against Brohm when he was at Trinity..actually his brother Greg as well...there dad Oscar coached them at Fern Creek when i umpired all there baseball games...they hate UK

You should stick with baseball. You couldn't possibly know less about that than you do about football.

Maybe we could debate that we really aren't an intercollegiate football program.

Well then Mitch will have to write a big check to WKU, plus Brohm, plus Stoops to make it happen. He is really good at writing big checks, we all have seen that.

Tommy, can you volunteer legal services to make this happen?

Go ahead and negotiate MB's departure while you're at it...

That's the reason Mitch will use. They need to call his agent. Hell, they already should have. As for his buyout. Petrino had a "buyout" too at WKU. They can be negotiated. But it wouldn't surprise me if Mitch used this as an excuse too.

There are some top-notch coaches in the MAC, too, who have proven they can compete against some top competition with lesser talent. Central MI just beat Okie State yesterday. Northern Illinois would wipe the floor with UK right now, as would several others in that conference. No way they get the same material as we have the past 4 years.

I doubt that Jeff Brohm will become our next coach but Jeff Brohm doesn't 'hate' UK or anyone else for that matter. As someone posted last week, Brohm played for Schnellenburger and Howard played for UK. Yeah he (HS) coached at UL but he doesn't hate UK and neither does Jeff Brohm. I'm sure he would love to coach UL at some point but he's a classy person that appears to know how to coach kids up. A lot of people with a connection to UL hate UK but that's not the case here.
