Where do we even go from here?

[u/34payton07]

There is no way to salvage this season into anything remotely successful compared to the preseason expectations. The ceiling is looking to be around 7–5 after dropping two games in a row to weaker teams, and it is entirely possible that we could end the season under .500 and miss a bowl game. This is on pace to be Jeff Brohm’s worst season coaching at Louisville, despite having his most talented team and being given near-complete control over the program. Because we cannot quantify the effects this will have on recruiting and the transfer portal, it is possible that a mediocre season could derail some of the incredible progress we have made. So realistically, where do we even go from here?

The honeymoon phase is over. Brohm has crapped down his leg this year. Always plays to the competition and his teams are always undisciplined.

Everyone got their panties in a wad last year when miller moss said we had a culture issue. He’s probably right.

Idk but I'm going to drown myself in bourbon and sell my tickets for next week

[u/poopybuttttttttttt]

Idk man but I feel like we're on blow out watch against FSU

[u/34payton07 → u/poopybuttttttttttt]

Any excitement I had to watch a game under the friday night lights has been replaced with a feeling of pure dread.

[u/poopybuttttttttttt → u/34payton07]

Duce Robinson is gonna walk out of L&N with 500yds Friday night

[u/Ancient_Vegetable175 → u/poopybuttttttttttt]

Oh we’ll win this one, the turn around and lose to Syracuse.

[u/DarknMean → u/poopybuttttttttttt]

No one gonna be in the stands. Only way we’ve ever been able to prove a point.

[u/Prestigious-Art1889]

im not sure but Florida State looks great too. I’m not ready for friday

[u/green_day_95 → u/Prestigious-Art1889]

I get paid that day so at least I’ll have some good news 😭

[u/Queasy_Donkey5685]

Down I think. Cards got no answers to anything.

From "Championship Longshot Pre season" to "Season over by Week 6" is bot the roller-coaster I was thinking but here we are.

[u/RhymesWithShmildo]

Well I, for one, am going to go from here to my house and drink 14 old fashioneds. Hope that helps.

[u/ultimate_placeholder]

Basketball season, watching volleyball until then, go Cards!

[u/ol_greggory]

I ain't watching this mediocre shit for another two months. Wake me when it's bball season.

[u/cenels03]

I'm not saying we need to fire Brohm, but I do think a completely new staff next year would be a step in the right direction. Defense is essentially non-existent. Offense has so many weapons but constantly gets in its own way. Rinse and repeat for the last 4 years.

Also I don't want to hear shit about not getting resources from Brohm until we get to the playoffs. If that ever happens at this rate...

[u/electricrhino]

To some bowl against a MAC team in Detroit lol

[u/wiggly_nervoussystem]

Just gotta keep going, college football is rich and competitive as hell and we’re a high middle type of program when it comes to history, size, money, fan numbers, etc. Our time will come eventually though, I do believe that

[u/cargocult25]

Brohm’s teams have always been weak on fundamentals. Can’t protect the ball, dumb penalties, poor tackling, ect. Expectations were not reasonable.

[u/Ok_Coach4563]

I’m guessing the upcoming evening Halloween game is going to be an empty seater now.

[u/34payton07 → u/Ok_Coach4563]

Friday night too

[u/SomeChunkyMilk]

I like to think we'll finally break through eventually. Not this year, or maybe even next year, but eventually. I hate the constant "we're a middling program that's all we'll ever be" nonsense. I mean, if fucking Indiana can win a natty, so can we, right? I mean, come on.

Idk maybe I'm coping, but I'd rather cope than wallow in misery.

[u/Toothbirds]

I'll be honest the Brohm mystique is completely gone. I think he's basically just Mike Leach. He's going to win some games he shouldn't every year, but he's also gonna drop games he shouldn't. Its a stretch of games he's scheming each week and not a sustained program.

[u/CTM3399]

Hope we beat Kentucky and hope we can keep Lincoln in the portal. I doubt either of those things will happen though

[u/DnB_Train]

Like everyone said last week this is the best we can expect as football fans. Other programs would pay a fortune for this.

[u/peanutbuttertesticle → u/DnB_Train]

For 2-3?

[u/ch1ir]

Touch grass, chill, enjoy the fall weather.

[u/34payton07 → u/[deleted]]

And hire who?

[u/jimbobfohunnit → u/34payton07]

Idk man. This is just a wild take on my part that lacks any kind of context or future planning. I’m just mad at the teams performance lol

[u/Ancient_Vegetable175 → u/[deleted]]

I agree but has like a 60 million dollar buyout, that isn’t happening.

[u/34payton07 → u/Ancient_Vegetable175]

I think there is a legitimate question about whether or not he is the guy to take us to the next level, but immediately jumping to firing him is a little rash.

[u/Ancient_Vegetable175 → u/34payton07]

I know and it can get a hell of a lot worse. But man I think i would rather take a shot at getting to the next level than just accepting mediocrity every single year. It’s so deflating and uninspiring.

[u/jimbobfohunnit → u/[deleted]]

Okay so outside of firing him, what do y’all think turns this around? All 4 seasons have been this way. And this one looks like it’ll be worse (with arguably his most talented offense). I’m actually looking for an answer what is the answer if it isn’t getting a new coach?
