If that wasn’t bad enough, he later goes for it on 4th and 1 at our own 15-20 yard line with the score tied. We don’t make it and Maine scores the go ahead TD. Stupid, stupid, stupid. He’s got to go.
.
I didn't have a problem with going for it on 4th down but why run the ball up the gut when you have not gained much at all that way. I don't recall Echols running the ball until late in the 4th.
The stands cleared out fast when the ball was handed off right up the middle for no gain when you are at you own 15. 01-wingedeagle

Both 4th down calls were pathetically bad. You have to consider the circumstances. 4th and 6 around midfield with about 2 minutes to go before halftime when we had a 14 point lead??? That’s just moronic. We had control of the game and gave all momentum to them.

The 4th and 1 from our own 15 speaks for itself. A middle school coach wouldn’t make that mistake. You just can’t cover up the stupid mistakes Sanford made.

No Brohm fell into his hands....


if he's not at Western he doesn't get a 2nd look. BTW Idiot also puts all the blame we saw in the last 15 games on Brohm.

He's an idiot that believes that when someone who's never been the head man tells you I dreamed every step it takes to get to a NY6 Bowl over and over and over is actually a strength. Dreamers without the experience is a hire only a idiot makes.

BTW the #1 job for an AD at a school like Western, it's raising cash. Donations. That is another thing this idiot failed at...he's like the twin to Judy in that department. So he's failed at his top 2 job requirements

destroyed a program that cost over 9 million to run and gaining Donations...Gary is gone and this AD was just a idiot puppet that lost his string puller

But he got brohm because of Petrino. Had a plan when hiring Petrino to hire his successor. Brohm was going to have trouble sooner or later he has he couldn’t recruit at all. He was winning with taggarts players and petrinos. Only hope for him was staying at a lower level where players fall through he cracks and he can develop them for his system (which he did very nicely) I think he will fail miserably at Purdue. He should have waited for a higher profile school that the name of the school would help him recruit. I don’t give this coach a pass at all I think he shouldn’t have gotten the job in the first place. (Notre dame offense was terrible with him as OC)
I think he should be fired this year if he doesn’t win more than three games. If it’s true he has a forever auto renewing contract might as well happen ASAP.


Wrong I want you to check the 2015 and 2016 seasons and look at the players that Brohm brought in that helped win those championships. A few where with BP but you cant dismiss Brohm's connection to Louisville or his recruiting. I know for 100% fact Brohm talked BP into signing Taylor.

I'm calling bull**** on "Willie's players" some yes but Brohm went out and filled holes with GTs, Transfers and JUCO's. If a HS recruit is not seeing the field till his Jr year. There's no difference than a JUCO

The below players played key roles on 1 or both conference championships. While Willie left a couple NFL TE's and BD .....would they even been the type of players if not for the coaching or style of play.

Mike White
Most of the offensive line
Taywan Taylor
Ace Wales (BP/Brohm
Antwane Grant
Nacarius Fant
Nicholas Norris
Lucky Jackson
Jared Dangerfield
T.J. McCollum
Branden Leston
Dejon Brown
Derik Overstreet
Jontavius Morris
Wonderful Terry
Omarius Bryant
Ge'Monee Brown
Joel Iyiegbuniwe
Keith Brown
Joe Brown
Leverick Johnson

RE: I love there is no WKU game thread
I certainly agree this was one was a miscue, but Todd has had a pretty strong history of good hires. Petrino, Brohm, Heard, Stanz, etc.

Any ways our idiot AD thought it was a great ideal to give someone without any head coaching experience, who was getting fired at ND, the largest first year contract in Western's history and with a 18 month buyout....

also the largest

So if Western doesn't eat the 1.2 million we have 3 more years after this one with this idiot...a idiot that goes for it on 4 and 1 at your own 15 yardline in the middle of the 3rd in a game you are leading. I will quote the idiot..."after the strong 3rd down play were we moved the line (gained 2 yards on 3rd down) I knew we would push them off the ball" Idiot also went for it on 4th and 6 after losing 4 yards on 3rd down on the 45 yardline with 2+ minutes left in the half...up 14. Didn't make it and they score.


Well back to Western's idiot AD who gave the coach a 1.2 million buyout and after a losing season in 2017, the first since 2009 for Western. He gave that coach another year on his contract.


So please keep this idiot coach till the idiot AD takes another job or is fired....I. DO. NOT. WANT. IDIOT. HIRING. THE. NEXT. WESTERN. COACH.

How many of those were Gary's hires? This hire went totally away from 3 out of 4 of those hires and all of us knows Gary was very involved with basketball and football program. Football was his baby. So this was Todd's first and only hire on his own.

If what you're saying is true (and none of us know for sure), then wouldn't Sanford be a GAR hire, too? GAR was still here.

Yes Sanford was a Gary hire and to be 100% honest I said Todd would be my choice. I dont know if the other hires were Gary's or Todd's but the one thing all Western fans know (at least those that keep up) Gary was very controlling about the hires for Western's main sports. So it wouldn't surprise me at all if Gary had major input in the 4 hires you listed. It would shock me if all 4 were just Todd's hires because I dont think Gary would be that much hands off....

Just like with Kmac, the ideal of a reset was 100% Gary's ideal

Now I will be the first to admit that my personal feeling on Todd and Gary have changed because of the way they handled Harper and all 3 of those players. But also the things they said after Harper left that I know was 100% false.

Some people would not admit personal feelings were part of the decision on wanting Todd gone before making the next football hire. But even with that I truly dont want him hiring the next football coach because of this hire and the things he though were strengths. The fact he thought hiring a coach that would change the offense 180 degrees was a good ideal. Then the fact he wants to put everything that is wrong with the football program on Brohm (who btw I wouldn't care if he goes 0-12) and the players left over.

That's chicken **** to blame players left over from 2 conference championships.

OK Bauer. Explain to me why Brohm cannot recruit to Purdue. Brohm was an exceptional QB, Great game day coach, excelled as a HC for the Hill Toppers. And, now he is recruiting to a school that produced a boatload of successful QBs over the years ( from Griese to Everett to Breese) with a history of winning (see Joe Tiller) and it's a top flight academic university . Methinks you protest too much cause he bailed on Western for Big Money and bigger pastures in the B10. Be grateful that Petrino brought him to you when he did. While you are firing your AD would you also fire ours?

I don't think Brohm has the showmanship required to be great on the recruiting trail. He would be better suited to the NFL. I do think he is a great developer of talent, and knows how to get the most out of his players, but he is going to need to have a little better raw material to work with to be successful in the Big Ten. He needs to hire a top tier assistant that is a recruiter instead of hiring every family member (and former WKU assistant) he can get his hands on.

The big talent he got at Purdue was a Louisville guy who his dad coached. I wish him luck I think he is a great coach just a bad recruiter. Our fanbase talked about this for awhile how he recruited only ky boys... hard to win like that. I think he would be great in the NFL. I don’t hold bad blood to him at all. Little surprised he left for Purdue but it’s close to home for him and he knew tha talent was getting leaner at WKU. I don’t want to fire our AD on the contrary. I think Brohm would win here no matter who he brought in just hard to do that at a bigger school.

It also hurts that he inherited less talent at Purdue than he did at WKU. Gonna be a tough road for him there.

Don’t tell guns that. In football you win with your juniors and seniors. There is a reason more expierienced teams do better. I think Brohm would have kept winning with whatever players brought in. Even I could play wide receiver for him. But in the Big10 there was no chance he can play with what Ohio state and Michigan etc bring in every year

Stewart was due for a bad hire, he has a good track record....No one is perfect he missed on this one, we have will have one more season of Sanford and after 3-9 next season he will be fired...

Little surprised he left for Purdue but it’s close to home for him and he knew tha talent was getting leaner at WKU. I don’t want to fire our AD on the contrary. I think Brohm would win here no matter who he brought in just hard to do that at a bigger school.

It also hurts that he inherited less talent at Purdue than he did at WKU. Gonna be a tough road for him there.

Don’t tell guns that. In football you win with your juniors and seniors. There is a reason more expierienced teams do better. I think Brohm would have kept winning with whatever players brought in. Even I could play wide receiver for him. But in the Big10 there was no chance he can play with what Ohio state and Michigan etc bring in every year

As to your comment that Brohm won with Willie recruits there were a total of 18 Willie recruits on the 2015 team and 9 of those did not play or played very small roles...ST or 3rd string. You had some key players like BD and ACE and 3 from the OL . But most of those 9 that played were 2 star recruits so was it recruiting or coaching?

There were only 8 Willie recruits that played on both conference championship teams and 3 did not play or hardly ever played. Below are the only key players that played on both championship teams

Long Snapper
Ace
3 Ol

As for this FL recruiting, Willie and his staff were the people with CONTACTS in S.FL. But lets look at the 3 states of FL.,GA, & AL that most southern schools recruit

Willie's last roster 2012 had a total of 45 recruits from those 3 states and 26 KY kids

Brohm's last roster 2016 had a total of 48 from those 3 states and 39 KY kids with 5 of those holdovers from Willie . So a total of 34 KY kids or a total of 8 more KY recruits on Brohm's last team that Brohm recruited.

Willie
31 fl
4 AL
26 KY
10 GA


Brohm
23 FL
39 KY (5 from 2012)
12 AL
11 GA

I do think he is a great developer of talent, and knows how to get the most out of his players, but he is going to need to have a little better raw material to work with to be successful in the Big Ten. He needs to hire a top tier assistant that is a recruiter instead of hiring every family member (and former WKU assistant) he can get his hands on.

But those 3 ol and ace and BD made up the whole offense once you add in petrinos players. Taggart is at FSU with an overall losing record cause he can recruit. Brohm didn’t get the UT job cause he can’t. He can coach circles around Willie but can’t hold his jockstrap when it comes to recruiting.

Well at least Brohm and Taggart are in the middle of crap right now too...Out of those two I think WT will have the most success...I don't think Brohm can win at Purdue, not sure who can....

I still can’t believe WT is at FSU with a sub .500 win record. I don’t think he will win enough there. He needs to stop calling plays and get a great o coordinator in there (but he is too hard headed for that)

Joe Tiller did. If they give him a full recruiting cycle it is possible to win there. If they get an itchy trigger finger like Texas and Tennessee has over the last 10 years and fire a coach every 2-3 years then it will be impossible. Ive been in Ross-Ade Stadium and it's impressive, its not The Big House or Ohio Stadium but not many stadiums compare to those 2. Purdue can compete in the B10, they have before.
