NET is out

First NET rankings are out.. currently have Purdue at 21st and 6th in the Big Ten. Looks like we have some work to do.

Eh, we have played some close games and the computer likes it when you blow teams out. Example, Purdue’s son, Tennessee, hasn’t really played anyone—they beat an overrated Baylor team and did beat a good Louisville team. But the rest are cupcakes and they are #1. Lots of ball left to play and not too worried about our NET.

If I were those guys down south though…at 71….id be a bit worried

Biden must have forgotten he pledged not to pardon Hunter

Blood is thicker than water and as a parent, I would have done the same thing. Biden's mistake was lying about it. Instead of saying he wouldn't pardon Hunter, he should have said something to the effect of "I'm focused on finishing out my term serving the American people. I'm not here to discuss Hunter". And then quietly pardon him.
Biden lied because he wanted to be president for another 4 years. It’s that simple. And Hunter would’ve taken the hit had Biden won.

Interesting all of the resident liberals aren’t here defending Hunter and Joe.

Jamarcus Shephard a possibility?

Considering what we've learned from the last couple years and also the Hazell years, you have to get a current head coach who will bring most of his current staff with him. Our two most recent failures, in both cases were guys that didn't bring an intact staff that they had history with, with them.

You are better off as a first-time head coach starting at a lower level where you can have more time to build your staff to set you up for the next job because your success is dependent on those you surround yourself with.

For sure. But it also changes the team greatly, going from small to very big. Can you imagine Trey in another season of progression going against 4's?? With him posting against 4's and DJ pulling the center out of the paint and 3 drop dead shooters around them?? Give me, give me that possibly dominating team size and makeup. either Cam or Myles would be fire off the bench. or pretty ok with Daniel being the X factor off the bench as needed.
Completely agree. DJ has a lot of work to do in rehab and on his body in general but if he can rebound and block shots at an elite level he significantly raises the ceiling of next year's team, whether starting or coming off the bench.

It is more of an eye test with Florida. Though the first NET rankings just came out and they are 6th. So they have something going right. Like beating the brakes off everyone.
I think 11th is about right. It may be dumb to say because it's so obvious, but the next four games will tell us a lot about where Purdue sits right now. If they go 4-0 (I don't see that happening), they're a top-five team. Top ten if they go 3-1 and given their schedule I still think they're top 15 if they go 2-2. I don't see them going 1-3 but if they do I'd imagine they're out of the top 25.

Nobody else from the Big Ten was near the bubble and that’s how it should’ve been. Washington was the closest team to be left out followed by Illinois. Both will have a good shot at moving to the round of 32 if they play well.

Purdue has a great draw and arguably got their ideal pick of #1 seeds to potentially play down the line.
Agreed, 9 would have been a little better I guess, if the 1 seeds there’s no doubt Louisville is probably the weakest.

Jamarcus Shephard a possibility?

OK the list shown below lists several good options but includes our old friend Jamarcus Shephard. He has been co-offensive coordinatory/receivers coach at UW and Alabama. I don't know if he actually called any of the offensive sets though.

Would you consider an offensive coordinator from one of the elite programs (Alabama, Penn State, Georgia, etc.) or would you rather have a successful head coach from a smaller school (Chadwick, Candle, Dickert, Helton, etc.).

As much as Shephard intrigues me, I'm hesitant to go with a coach with no prior head coaching experience.

No, we've now seen what a head coach without any prior experience looks like leading Purdue, and it ain't pretty. In one of the toughest football conferences, it will take a coach with prior experience for Purdue to be competitive.
