Throw some names for coaches next year….

I don't see these guys going into FL and TX and connecting with the type of talent we need at the skill positions. I can't imagine the recruiting battles in North Dakota are very intense.
Recruiting battles = bidding wars. It’s more about who can maximize the players we can afford than who is the best “recruiter”.

I like Brent Vigen. Spent his whole life in North Dakota, so a little adversity won’t scare him off.

He is back before it is official!

Like what lol?
He's issued a dead serious ultimatum to Hamas and the Palestinians. You can bet (unlike Biden) that if they don't comply, there will be hell to pay.
He's already brought Canada to the bargaining table on tariffs.
The Mexican president is extremely worried about the tariffs for her country.
He's already had discussions with Putin and Z about the Ukraine situation.
Consumer confidence in the economy is growing and reflected in the stock market.

Hell to pay

Most of the hatred for Jews comes from the left. Have you not been paying attention? Your side has a number of elected officials (mostly in the Squad) who are avowed anti-semites and support the destruction of Israel.

You better go see a doctor about your TDS.....you're approaching Bob's level, which is unhealthy.
You have to get them credit… takes balls for a bunch of anti semites to call the other side “Nazis”…

Hell to pay

You live in a serious bubble. You know full well that US Muslims have faced hatred from most Americans. The hatred was there prior to 9/11. But since 9/11 the American hatred towards Muslims was exacerbated. Don’t forget the hatred a lot of Americans have against the Jews. Not to mentioned the hatred towards blacks, Latinos, and Asians. Now there is a war against diversity.

You say put America first. What I see with from Chump and the MAGA bs is white supremacy first.

It probably shouldn’t be, but it’s surprising to me that only 36 teams were ranked during that period.

Colvin and Hiede

Way behind on this thread, but what are the chances against a dominant big we do what other teams did to us last year and throw Berg/Burgess in there to Hack the other teams big every time they get the ball in the low post? Thats 10 fouls we can give that has very little impact on our normal game plan to close out the game.
I’m not sure how many dominant big men are on our schedule, but I agree with you conceptually. Keep Trey out of foul trouble by throwing Caleb,Will, and RB at top opposing centers. I don’t think we’ll see a steady diet of that. I suspect we will also see the Trey and Cam lineup with a heavy reliance on post doubles, but it’s nice to have some big bodies with available fouls to mix it up.

Why Trump Needs to Drain the Swamp

Because of cultural conditioning, in that Sanford & Son episode Fred wanted a white dentist because he thought that the white dentist was better trained. He thought the black dentist was trained through a correspondence school. It turned out that the white dentist that he wanted was trained through a correspondence course. The black dentist had superior training.
When the black dentist came in, did Fred go, “shut up, dummy!” ??

Weeks for AP Poll are Monday-Sunday, so yes both of these games will be part of it. As DDD said, if we lose one it will depend on other teams, but only a couple of conferences are playing conference games this week. So most teams have buy games except for the ACC-SEC challenge.
Cincy and Wisky lost last night and will fall out of the top 15, so that helps. Hopefully, we win them both and it doesn’t matter.

Ok, now that it's done, who's hearing what about a hire?

Any coach can look at the past two years and see that Walters needed to be fired. If a coach is worried about being fired for going 1-11, then I don’t want that coach anyways. I want a coach with confidence, not one that is looking for job security.
Can anyone put a time frame on how quickly a program can be torn down to the ground.....?

Timing of coaching change

your timeline sounds as good as anything I've seen. It seems like things started to move after the NW loss based on Walters interview with Tom on On3. with 20/20 hindsight, if Purdue won the OT games against IL & NW, we'd probably see Walters back. It sounds like he had a plan to really overhaul the staff. If Odom ends up at WVU, I'd bet Walters is his DC.
Good for WVU!!

Browne enters portal

I saw Card still has another year left. If card should depart, depending on the new coach, Browne could return. I highly doubt he returns if Card returns.
Card is not expected to come back. Purdue could still have two scholarship QBs in sawyer Anderson and Davila (assuming he stays) and would expect the new coach to purdue to pursue at least one transfer, likely 2+ like Walters did. If Helton it could even be Caden Veltcamp.

Purdue falls to South Carolina 99-51

I saw boilerpride08 mention year 4 for CKG. Yes technically it is year 4, but i kind of look at it as year 2, maybe 2.5. Does anyone else view it that way?

My reason being, she wasn't even supposed to be the coach that first year, and her 2nd year was still with a bunch of players Versyp recruited and coached(and obviously they weren't winning before CKG got here, so how good were these players..). Her first actual recruiting class was thrown together quickly(23' class).

So last year for me was sorta the first real year with Gearlds. First big recruiting class, recruits she spent plenty of time evaluating and forming relationships with. First year with Komara and Stephen's as her own hand picked assistants.

That's probably why I'm more forgiving and patient with where we are right now.
In my opinion, the Komara hire was a mistake and did absolutely nothing to improve the team. She was involved with the SW disaster at Vandy. Other than being a part of some good Purdue WB teams, there was nothing in her coaching record that indicated she was a positive contributor to a program.

Browne enters portal

He still could come back obviously, but saw that Browne has decided to enter the Transfer Portal.

I think with the right coaching that he could be a very good QB for us. He can extend plays and make plays with his legs. He was a little inaccurate at times, but that is where the coaching comes in. Also, we had the worst WR corp in the BT. The only consistent pass catcher is Klare, which we should be fighting tooth and nail to keep. Klare will be playing on Sundays someday.
the limited time he got, he showed a great deal more athleticism and quicker decision making than Card and Card isn't a stiff. He did make some not so great passes too, but he made some fantastic throws so the skill seems to be there. I'd think with a good QB coach, Browne will be very good in a couple years time.
