MERGED-PFT reports Atlanta has its HC picked...

[Vertical Limit]

All I have to say is WOW...I didn't expect this! Especially with all the talk about Louisville making a national title run next year!

This is a total shock to me too. Wow. I wonder what the contract is.

I hope Brohm gets pissed at this and scatters for the NFL. It'd be my dream to nab him, but if he's gone by then, it's still another guy gone ahead of our pick, leaving just another stud player available at 9.

its for 5 years...24 million

Wow this is such a huge coup for us IMO. Brian Brohm may declare because of this, and one of our competitors fill their vacancy with a guy we had no interest in! High five!

Oh there we go. Wow.. Well, that's one less team to worry about for the Whisenhunt sweepstakes! :wink: I'm not sure about Petrino, and I don't want to experiment on college coaches after Saban.

I agree, but at the same time, if I knew Petrino was even slightly considering the NFL, I would've wanted him here. :boohoo: Oh well...guess it wasn't meant to be.

IMO, the quarterback's will be picked in this order:

1. JaMarcus Russell
2. Brady Quinn
3. Brian Brohm

Brohm will likely slide to the 8-10 range.

Me either! Bring on Brohm!

 

[SkapePhin]

espn.com is reporting they are negotiating with Petrino - wonder if Petrino leaving may prompt Brohm into declaring...

That is very likely now, seeing as how the National Championship will be unlikely with a new coach..

Wow, that's a pretty big contract for a college coach coming in. $4.8 mil a year. I wonder if Petrino can get along with Vick.

 

[Vertical Limit]

Me either! Bring on Brohm!

Yup! I expect for him to declare now. He will be there at #9 IMO. If he's there at #9, we're picking him no questions asked. He's the Jay Cutler of this draft, behind JaMarcus and Brady Quinn.

I totally agree!!!! :dolphins:

 

[ASUFinFan]

IF Brohm comes out, its more likely that a player we really like will slide to us at 9. I like it.

Exactly what i was thinking.

Atlanta picks right behind us at #10...this could get really interesting!
