Sounds like it's going to go down this time. After Cincy picked up Satterfield, there is an announcement in Mackey today.

next year could be a rough year for Purude. Assuming no departures or covid years, they only return 4 on defense, and they lose a significant amount of key playmakers on offense in O'Connell, Jones, and Payne.it's strange that he would leave now when he didn't before, but I don't have any inside details.
But maybe he gets Padilla and Johnson.next year could be a rough year for Purude. Assuming no departures or covid years, they only return 4 on defense, and they lose a significant amount key playmakers on offense in O'Connell, Jones, and Payne.
Not if Brohm is gone.But maybe he gets Padilla and Johnson.
IMO, Keagan would be an absolute monster in that scheme. Screams David Bell v2.0, and that is assuming health ...etcBut maybe he gets Padilla and Johnson.
This is exactly what I was thinking. They went after Deion, and TBH I'm surprised he didn't go for that based on recruiting base and proximity to the south. He would have torn up Ohio, IMO.Cincy can do better than this, right? This hire doesn’t make much sense.
Agree but the west got better this offseason. It took a minor miracle (iowa losing to Neb) for them to make their first championship game.Why leave the Big 10 for Louisville? I'm sure the answer is $, but seems lateral at best.

Petras has a year left, what if he went there and had a "charlie" year? Boy would that be damning to our coaches.But maybe he gets Padilla and Johnson.

Criticism is part of the game cmhawks. what are you a ferentz and can't handle it?Man you are always looking to “damn our “ coaches, are you a fan of Iowa?
Obvious is he’s an alum. I’ve read L’ville has a strong NIL (they have a very good class with a few big time recruits already). But after next season when west goes away things will get a lot more difficult and Purdue has been one of the more difficult places to win at. Plus with ACC could be an easier to place to find success at especially with his system. Lastly like you said they throw bunch of money to sweeten the deal.Why leave the Big 10 for Louisville? I'm sure the answer is $, but seems lateral at best.
I agree. Was kind of a head scratcher. He was on the hot seat a little bit before this year. Figured Cincy would’ve gotten an up and coming younger coach.Cincy can do better than this, right? This hire doesn’t make much sense.
He's from Louisville, played there and was an asst coach in the early 2000s. Homecoming.Why leave the Big 10 for Louisville? I'm sure the answer is $, but seems lateral at best.
Something that is overlooked is that the Big 12, ACC and whatever is left of the Pac 12 schools are going to have an easier path to the playoffs than a Purdue (or Iowa) in the Big 10, even if the media money is far different. Auto qualifiers from these leagues like the B12 and Pac-12 with their leftovers means it is far easier to qualify as a Louisville, Iowa State, Colorado, etc. when the other schools like Oklahoma, Texas, USC, et all are gone.Easier to get to # 12 in the country there or at Purdue?
Hell yeah if he catches even remotely as many passes as Charlie, I'll be wondering why the hell we had him under center.Petras has a year left, what if he went there and had a "charlie" year? Boy would that be damning to our coaches.
This is a great post.Hell yeah if he catches even remotely as many passes as Charlie, I'll be wondering why the hell we had him under center.
It's why Fickell is a good coach. Took him little time to realize Mertz is not a quality Power 5 QB.Mertz in the portal as well.
Agree. Disappointed in Cincinnati with this hire. Had been talk of Jesse Minter, DC at Michigan. Apparently also they had great interest in Brian Hartline at Ohio State but he told them he wasn't interested.I agree. Was kind of a head scratcher.

I’m guessing as much to do that talent-wise Mertz barely ahead of Petras.Probably has more to do with what kind of offense Fickell is going to run.
I would not be surprised if Purdue isn't exactly the richest donor base in the Big Ten, but we still all have equal Big Ten money ... who knows where Louisville is the next time there is a big realignment? I'd certainly stay put...Why leave the Big 10 for Louisville? I'm sure the answer is $, but seems lateral at best.
I'm fine with that. Thats a downgrade for Purdue.....But maybe he gets Padilla and Johnson.
That and West Lafayette... not exactly one of the classic B1G cities. Stadium...not much better. Granted, we all favor our roots. but WF...not much.I would not be surprised if Purdue isn't exactly the richest donor base in the Big Ten, but we still all have equal Big Ten money ... who knows where Louisville is the next time there is a big realignment?

I was thinking the same thing. Someone is going to offer him a P5 HC opportunity soon. Badger fans are going to regret losing him.If Purdue were smart they would run and get Jim Leonard right now!
I would take a huge risk and go after someone that can recruit the hell out of that area. I would honestly take a look at Brian Hartline, Sherron Moore, Bill O'brien. Before even contemplating Leonard.If Purdue were smart they would run and get Jim Leonard right now!
