I don't think you are necessarily wrong but a coach at this junction will be looking at a 3 to 5 year window. UNC could offer a good mix of decent enough current roster, good nil, etc.

If I was Dan Mullen I'd prefer UNC over Purdue. Win 10 games in a weak acc and become a top SEC hire in a couple or so years.

Going to purdue will be a 5 year rebuild to get to that spot.

Now a younger coach with less track record may prefer purdue since he is basically going to have a few years to right the ship.

I disagree UNC being a better job. The ACC is in no mans land and likely to lose there 3 premier football programs. Purdue has the advantage in $$, stadium size, student enrollment, etc. UNC wil always be first and foremost a bball school.

Pretty much but we are talking about the school who pushed out caliperi... UK fans like OSU fans aren't known to be reasonable.

Isn’t Stoops the best coach they’ve ever had?

Do we have big NIL donors? From what BC told us all year we don’t! lol.

I think our ticket to being competitive is the revenue sharing route. Dump “marketing” money into the football program and get guys that way vs being worried about 50k of NIL funds here or there.

Start payment “Tiers” of players and move them up or down based on performance. Fill in with actual NIL deals for the good players and we should be pretty competitive NIL wise overall.

Then all we need is a solid coach!

Dolly Parton! Think of how great our half time shows would be. The games would all be sold out. The press conferences would be fun to watch. Dolly is a proven recruiter. And money raiser. She has tremendous organizational skills. She has success written all over here. Sure, she’s old, but I believe we need a more mature coach. She could bring in Miley Cyrus to be our offensive coordinator. Purdue’s offense could be known as the wrecking ball. Just think what our locker room would be like with Miley yelling at you and getting in your face. And we could have Hank Williams jr as our defensive coordinator.

Ask yourself, what’s the purpose of college football? It’s no longer about building ethics and leadership. It’s about entertainment. It’s about generating revenue. So let’s bring in some people who know how to entertain! Rather than catching passes, the players could make passes. Just bring the entire grand ole opry to Purdue on Saturdays and entertain people .

Ask yourself. If you had $100 to spend, would you rather spend it watching a college football game? Or a 3 hour country concert?

I know what you are thinking. He’s crazy! But in reality, this would reduce the costs of facilities and training. We could sell more tickets and charge more. People would be happy and go home entertained.

We need to follow the lead of the Super Bowl. The Super Bowl is no longer about the game of football. It’s about entertainment and producing revenue!

And for guys like Cho Cho, just think of all the different ways you could generate money Placing bets on totally random things!

Give it some thought! Maybe Dolly as our new AD instead of head coach. She could sure turn this program around! Give the fans some chicken while the horse stampede the field. People pay over $100 to watch that in Gatlinburg!

Sure a couple of you would complain! But you would complain anyway!

Not really...

P5

Purdue

UNC

WVU


We are currently the only P2 school

Likely cost will be 6 to 7 million a year

Which would be top Big 12 or ACC pay.

Id say right now UNC is a better job but I think we edge out WVU.

Being a coach in b1g or sec will be a huge advantage after profit sharing. I think UNC can edge us out given their bball blue blood status will lend itself to a better nil system. WVU doesn't have that and will likely be 1 to 2 mill cheaper than purdue.

We may have to wait a while or go low to the lesser coaches. Speed to hire killed us the last time. So I don't mind waiting to get a good fit. What about Dana Holgorson? He is on a temporary hire at Nebraska.

Yeah for sure and for national exposure as well. Stadium wasn’t really ever full.

Wonder if paint will ever participate in it

I love and hate the tough schedule. One huge advantage we have is experienced guards. One disadvantage is we are the hunted and every game means so much more to the opponent. Another disadvantage is without a roster full of transfers we are easier to scout. I watched Auburn play Iowa St. and NC. They are beatable but unlikely to lose in Birmingham.

This was a good tournament to play in. Oregon won $1.5 million in NIL bucks and Alabama got $1.25 million for 2nd place.

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.

Only reason as a fan to hate it is for the stress of close games.
For the team getting better there is no debate.
Remember all those Boiler teams that were good, but seemed to lay an egg come tourney time?
THOSE results are the why.
None of these game results mean much come March.
What does mean something is the experience and toughness the team develops during stressful, close games.
Especially handling pressure in a hostile environment and keeping your composure.
Invaluable come tourney time.
Only way to learn it is is to earn it.

You not having UConn and the Baby in the top 25 is surprising, especially after their nearly 100 point win over some community college. JK. I do see Purdue jumping back into the top 10, fwiw.

I always find it weird how the biggest Debbie downers on this board were also the biggest Walter driders when everyone else was on the fire him bandwagon week 3 or 4.

Purdue is one of the best available jobs.

There is only purdue, unc, and wvu when it comes to p5.

Purdue is the only p2 school. That means a lot of revenue sharing in the coming years. UNC may be able to counter that with NIL money as they will have 🏀 blue blood status and have been paying Big bucks for players for a couple decades id guesstimate.

West Virginia isn't a rich school, it isn't a rich state, it isn't a blue blood by any stretch. I can't imagine their NIL plus revenue share will over take ours.

Unless there is a surprise firing (Stoops?), I don't see much changing.
