Brian Brohm

[WesVLT]

I've been reading bluegrasspreps.com, Kentucky's version of CoachT, and there's really nothing but speculation regarding Brian Brohm's collegiate destination. Does anyone know when he's going to announce his decision? Where do you think he'll end up?

 

UT seems like the best choice to me, but I'm a little biased.

[Not-so HeavyD]

From everything I have read, UT hasn't been in the picture for a while. He is leaning strongly toward Louisville and has been contacted by the new staff at Nebraska in the last week. He will end up at Louisville, where his brother is on the staff.

It just seems to me that no QB from that system is ready for the NFL. I know there are a few on NFL rosters but none that are playing much. It may be the the QB but I think its the "free for all" system.

Nebraska's offensive attack has ALWAYS been the Option; thus, since the Option is never run in the NFL, Husker QBs have always been forced to move to a different position to earn playing time -- see Scott Frost and Eric Crouch. Jammal Lord will have to do the same thing. Nebraska's main NFL talent is found on their offensive line, running back corps, and "blackshirt" defense. It will be interesting to see how things change in this regard with Bill Callahan at the helm. A West Coast offense will initially see a lot of difficulty since the current Huskers were recruited and coached with the Option in mind. In a few years, however, I wouldn't be surprised to see more Florida or California prep stars making the journey to Lincoln, replacing the big, beefy Midwest cornshuckers and opening a new pathway to the NFL. They'll bring an element of team speed to the Big 12 equaled only by Stoops' Oklahoma Sooners, who underwent a similar offensive transition when he took the helm at Norman.

 

When all is said and done, if Callahan can recruit an effective mix of gargantuan Nebraska-born linemen and zippy NFL-caliber athletes, the Cornhuskers will wither to no one.

I heard Callahan in an interview say he was going to open the offens up at Nebraska.

Steve Pederson better hope that Callahan turns things around quickly. It is getting extremely bloody out there, with Callahan firing Bo Pelini and a bunch of other coaches. The returning players will be a hard sell to get on board after they've been jerked around. The Nebraska faithful, having seen one style of offense for 30 years, will be even more suspicious of Callahan. It won't be a pretty picture trying to watch those QB's and receivers catch the ball, and those linemen trying to pass block.

On an unrelated note, read where an Alabama recruit decomitted from Auburn because of Alabama's business school-he wants to [/b]major in "pharmaceutical sales." Whew!

Trev Albert said last night on "Outside The Lines" that that is what the AD wants from Callahan is to bring the offense into the 21st century, and get away from the old style Nevraska offense.

Brian is holding a press conference @ 3pm tomorrow @ Trinity to announce his decision. He will also be chatting with Tom Lemming starting @ 2:45, and will announce his decision in tandem during the chat.

 

Just thought I'd let you guys know!

[WesVLT]

Thank you thank you!! I can't wait to hear where he's going, though I have a hunch it's Louisville.

How important is it to Tennessee if they do or do not land Brohm?

[addictedtosports.com]

Mr. WesVols hunch was right Brian Brohm is a Louisville Cardinal.

[rockmom]

Sorry guys! (Well, not really! )

 

He's a Cardinal! Me, I'm absolutely ecstatic! I can still actually GO to the games and watch him play!
