I get the ties, but IMO he is making a huge mistake. He is in a great situation at Purdue with his first year success, the division they are in and with how well he is recruiting. They were going to end up with the Top class in that Western Division.
Interesting take. I think i think im on the other side of the coin in this case.
Loserville's AD is absolutely loaded with case/ resources. Additionally, they've won bigger, and more recently than Purdue. Loserville has won 2 BCS games, and had a Hiesman winner within the last decade. Purdue? well, they upset OSU. Also, Nebraska is coming, and in most years you're going to have a better Wisky team. The West isn't a beast, however it's not going to be a cake walk like this year. In the ACC Atlantic, he's primarily just got to weather Clemson. Even with losing to them, you can land yourself in a NY6 game well before that's ever going to happen in the B10.
The thing that kills me about Loserville is that in a different universe that's UC. We arent the cash machine they are, however with a boost in resources we would absolutely be elevated.

This, without a doubt. Our University is head and shoulders above Louisville in most measures that really matter for an educational institution. Our city too.
And I'd argue we've been punching above our weight class in athletics for the past decade with two BCS bowls and a string of eight NCAA appearances. Imagine adding to UC's budget that paltry $31 million dollars of TV money in the Pac 12? Given those resources and a little time, UC would do what it did in the Big East: win a lot on the big stage.
Paul Johnson - GT is retiring. Will coach the bowl game then hang up the clip board.

I pray every week that the Bengals leave to go to St. Louis once the stadium deal is up. The support for UC would go through the roof if that was to happen.

At this point, I would have to agree. I'm a lifelong Bengals fan, but if the Brown family is going to continue to run the franchise, I'd rather see the more deserving team get the city's support.

James Madison HC Mike Houston to Charlotte
Wow, how screwed up is ECU. If they are going to dump Montgomery after Saturday's loss to NC State, why didn't they line up Mike Houston as their successor coach. He would have been a perfect fit and he recruits Virginia and North Carolina at his current JMU post. The incompetence of ECU since they joined the AAC is without equal. Must be a bunch of rubes running the show down there, because they continue to make disastrous decisions. It would be cool if they hired Butch Jones, because I'd like nothing better than to beat that turd on an annual basis.

The KY guys on 1360 yesterday said UofL low balled Brohm. Not sure who their sources are. They claim Brohm had an interest, however money wasn’t there.
Just took a quick visit to the Louisville board. What a vile bunch.

Very comical bunch. The other day they were discussing Fickell and Venables as HC options. But concluded it would be necessary to grab Kingsbury as OC if they were to hire a defensive coach.

Thinking there is too much of a toxic culture at Ville. Brohm isn't an outsider he knows the makeup of the roster down there.
"Purdue is believed to have sweetened Brohm’s current $4 million a year deal to as much as $6 million annually, while offering additional incentives to stay. Louisville was believed to have made an offer of seven years and $35 million."

Not with this media deal that pays $2M per year. We’d need Carl Lindner or P&G to personally pay that annual salary.
Have to feel bad for university 6.

I bet there is a way, but It wont be easy. I also think the money for assistants is more important than Fickell's personal salary. I still believe that Fickell may be cut from a different cloth than many coaches and that he won't entertain offers this cycle.
The dude spent forever at Ohio State making around 750k. If he wanted to chase money he could have been a Head Coach long before he took the job at UC. I think there are a couple schools he would go to if given the chance, but I feel those jobs are secure this year, and if Meyer does retire, it is too early for Fickell to get that opportunity.
I can see Fickell staying for a bit longer than we are used to due to his family and waiting for a good, and safe opportunity to arise before moving 7 individuals.
Notre Dame, Michigan State, and Ohio State seem to be the ones to worry about. I think Fickell knows the challenges of the Big 10 too well to go to a place like Purdue or Indiana.

From last year's coaches salaries list, Mike Norvell of Memphis was the highest paid G5 coach at $2.6 million. Fick was #3 after Navy's Ken Niumatalolo ($2.1M). The problem we face is a school like Illinois (you know, the B1G team that has sucked for decades) paid Lovie Smith $5M. If I'm Bohn, I'd do everything in my power to up Fick's number so he's the HIGHEST paid G5 coach OR offer Fick better money for his assistant coaches. As much I believe Fick is content for now, how can you not be tempted if you could make several million dollars more at a P5 program? I know we can't pay P5 type money but surely we can come up from $2M. We should try and be as proactive with Fick as possible within financial reason IMO.

Definitely agree. I am sure Bohn has already been having conversations with Fick or his agent about this. It would be great if Fick just said keep
my salary as is but throw another $500k in the assistant pool.

Exactly my thoughts. Bengals leaving would be absolutely huge for UC. I hope it happens in a few years.
