Someone post a picture of that 2012 female US Olympic gymnast who had the "I'm unimpressed" face. Because I'm unimpressed...

So I guess Brohm knows what he's doing.

We alums were excited that our AD would for the first time ever open up the checkbook. However, I guess that is not the case. I guess we want to be the red headed step child of the B1G.
At least I am proud of my physics degree from Purdue.

Purdue's only hope is to find some young niche coach who can actually coach football, have a few good years and then leave for a better job.
That's the ONLY way.
Hiring a big name does nothing for Purdue.
So you go Les Miles, now what? You really think that's the answer?
You think kids are going to line up to play football for Les Miles at Purdue? Sure, you've got a couple of 3* kids who can play and you got a 4* that you hail as the "next"...and now you're a 5-7 team with a few draft picks.
No, you need someone to build a culture. Then that guy will leave and you pay his top assistant and pray you can keep it going.
Opening up the checkbook is not the route for Purdue...it's the route for a MSU or PSU type.

The best coach Purdue has hired in decades came from Wyoming. Before that, Jim Young from a pre-Pac 10 Arizona.
Some of the worst have been "big names" like Fred Akers.

He was my candidate; thought they'd go back to the Tiller tree.
Perhaps next time.

December 1st, 2016 at 6:01 PM ^
FUCK me...since graduating from Purdue in 2005, I have been to 3 games. Two while Tiller was coaching and once last season. God we suck. Our AD is cheap mother fucker. From all I heard from the Purdue blogs was that our AD refused to open up the purse strings for Les Miles to hire his own assistants. What a fucking joke. I would agree to going FCS at this point. it is a fucking joke at Purdue.

He just told us. Appparently his alma mater sucks. Also the AD is extremely cheap.

WKU has been a power in CUSA the last couple of seasons and challenged Power 5 schools (albeit lower level ones). He knows the area and has worked from limited resources. And he runs an offense that's something from this century, as opposed to Miles.

I hope he likes working with a community college budget cause that is what he is going to get.
At least I know I won't be attending or donating to my undergrad for the near future. so, i will be saving some money.

Purdue is actually building new 60$ million dollar football facilities. I would hope if they are willing to do that, they would be willing to throw a few million more at the recruiting budget/coaches salary. I've included the link, if you're interested in checking it out.

This works out better than the last time they hired a coach from Kentucky.

Nice try, but you're a couple of coaches too slow...

I'm wondering if Eastern's coach if worth taking a shot on right now for a lower level P5 team (like Purdue). He's done a great job at Eastern so far, but I suppose it could be a flash in the pan
December 1st, 2016 at 6:36 PM ^
Chris Creighton is doing just fine in Ypsilanti thank you.
Seriously though, he will get a Power 5 job sooner rather than later. Creighton is an excellent coach and a good dude.

It's the truth.
Western is a much better program right now. There is no reason to leave a Top 25 team to go to Purdue.
He's better off trying to make Western his Boise St. and going to his Washington or making it his Houston and going to his Texas than going to Purdue.
Western is a MUCH better job. That's what people don't get. If he can go undefeated at WMU this year. And even if there's nothing out there he likes and he goes 1-2 more season at WMU with no more than 1-2 losses. He'll be able to get a big time job, he'll be the new Tom Herman minus as many big P5 wins.
That's still good enough to land a mid-level P5 job in his sleep.
