Coach Painter at the top of Texas's coaching search wishlist.

[Abugabby]

Don't shoot the messenger. There is ZERO percent chance of Coach Painter leaving Purdue for Texas. He has too much going for him here...Zachen, recruiting contacts, success, highly ranked team, good players coming in, awesome freshmen balling like crazy, etc.

 

[Abugabby]

That will be the shortest phone conversation in history.

Texas: "Hey Coach Painter, how y'all doin' up thar? How would you like to come to Texas and win a national championship?"

Painter:

His bio reads “Covering Northwestern hoops and UIC athletics”. Not sure how that gets you in on the know for UT basketball exactly.

Painter should be the top of many schools lists. What’s not to love about how he runs a ship. Only thing alluding him is a final four and national championship. That will come at his current pace. That said I hope he breaks every big ten record and retires from Purdue in another 20+ years.

 

[rgarlitz]

Painter might be an attractive choice for Texas, but I don't know if Texas is an attractive destination for Painter. Jamie Dixon could be a great choice, though. He's had success at both Pitt and TCU. Looks like TCU has something cooking this year.

Can’t believe I didn’t think of Dixon.

For the love of the game.. ..CMP loves the game and Purdue.....kids come here to be a part of something bigger than themselves....

 

[Gemini95]

I wouldnt say zero chance, but seems unlikely. Nice to have a coach that other programs desire.

 

[BoilerFan#35]

Theyll get coach Cal.

 

[mean_gene]

Zero. Chance. If Painter was going to move it would've been 10 years ago, he is ride or die with Purdue for life now and we're lucky to have him. Pay him and move along.

It says that they are willing to break the bank. They really would have to break the bank to get Calipari, since he has about a $55 million buyout with UK

I’m guessing that buyout is negotiable at this point.

I think I heard the buyout is only if he is fired. If he leaves on his own, there is no buyout. Even if that isn’t accurate, that’s a drop in the bucket for Texas and their oil money. It’s also probably negotiable like the other poster said.

 

[TX4GB]

They kicked out Shaka and now they want CMP?

 

[rgarlitz]

Can’t believe I didn’t think of Dixon.

Now that I think of it, isn't Jamie Dixon a TCU grad? I vaguely remember it being a homecoming when he left Pitt for TCU. Texas might have difficulty with that one, too.

Right. It might come down to money and the Big 12 falling apart in a couple years. It won’t impact basketball as much though.

he is a TCU grad.

My money is UT goes after Nate Oats.

What about Mike Woodson?

Woody is almost 65. I think he is about to call it a career.

Looks like he already has.

And Saben was at the top of our coaches search for Football......

 

[KenTre1983]

And Saben was at the top of our coaches search for Football......

Besides both being head coaches at a D1 program, CMP not quite on Coach Saban's level. I'm all for him getting there, though.

 

[meenie]

I think Woodson has a walker or a roller while he’s smoking the chronic

That would be a great coach for Texas.

Agreed. Not sure why Painter leaves his alma matter for a latteral job. Painter will make allot of money anywhere at this point. We just lost our football coach to return to his alma matter. Unfortunately, that move makes sense to me. Painter might never leave Purdue, but he only leaves for a better job. That job is either pro or a program with much better recruiting like Kansas or Kentucky....but Texas? No way

I am 50/50 on Painter retiring at Purdue, which considering how few coaches stay for 30+ years, is really good.

 

[Abugabby]

That job is either pro or a program ...

Water and oil. He couldn't coach pros without pulling all of his hair out.

100% agree, i wast being specific to him, just to what is a better coahing job in basketball than Purdue, pro, and specific, NBA is a better job,

As for Painter, he wouldt be a succesful NBA coach for several reasons, one ofcourse is coaching style, but the game is different than college and wouldnt work. He would be excellent at helping young players develop, but he sort of has that job now, lol

 

[steakman765]

He would be crazy to go somewhere where he might be expected to actually win something.

CMP going to TX would be a demotion, especially with where the program is now and who is coming in the near future. Makes no sense on so many levels.

I could see this, Ky is souring on Cal, might be time for him to leave.

Beef, I haven't seen a picture of her lately, so is she still worthy pursuing?

I had a crush on here back in the day too, lol

 

[oldboiler52]

Purdue needs to step up and pay him double his current salary. They have been paying him on the cheap Chris Holtmann makes double what Painter makes. I could see him leaving and I would have no problem with it. PAY HIM!

 

[SqueakyClean]

She's better than about 99% of the other 58 year-olds out there, but she is definitely starting to show her age.

Please provide link to that salary difference. Everything I see says they both make 3.5 million per year.

Assuming she is still hot like in the 90s. That can float me to eternity.

Yeah I don’t think that’s the case.
