If I owned a pro football team, I would get the best coach. I would not care if he had been involved in ten scandals or was a dirty-mouth jerk. I would want a team that wins.
If I were the decision-maker at Purdue, the main qualities I want in a coach are someone who can be a Light and care for his kids off the field. He wants to produce quality adults who will contribute to society when their football days are behind them, whether or not they play pro ball. Once that is established, I want someone who can win football games.
Neon Deion was a jerk but a great coverage cornerback who could run back kicks. If he wanted to be a pro assistant, so be it.
Coach Prime has shown himself to be a Light to his players, and how he got the epiphany makes no difference. He tuned Colorado around, and I believe he will do that if we can convince him to come to Purdue.
