B1G metrics ranks entering December

Thanks great info. Always appreciate your posts that show this great info or game clips from X.

Illinois is good ...but with no clearcut great team like Purdue was last year, I imagine the teams that either have the favorable schedule OR improve the most from here on..... or maybe BOTH end up the regular league champ.

Besides Purdue, Dad likes IL, but then again liked PSU early on, and gushed about Whisky too...... hasn't committed to a champ yet.

Hard to say # of losses for the champ, but I guessing a bit higher than Purdue last year.
Based on what I've seen, I'd go:

Illinois 14-6
Purdue 14-6
UCLA 13-7
Oregon 13-7
Michigan 12-8
Wisconsin 12-8

Ohio State could sneak into that group but I'm not sure I see anyone else doing it right now. Rutgers' freshmen are talented but they don't have enough around them to endure the gauntlet of the B1G. Maryland and MSU look solid but a step behind. No idea what to make of IU.

Why is he still employed?

He was so bad, not even sure its MAC level at first. He might take a year off, he has money, but I cant imagine he will look for a job right away with this smell. They were by far the worst team in the power 5 conferences, it wasnt even close, and we just lost our rival game by 66-0. A game we have won 77 times out of 126 times it was played, a game we have a 64% wnning percentage and we lost 66-0.

Walters was beyond historically bad,
He never has to work again. He hit the lottery with this Purdue thing.

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

Hadn't heard Mullen's name thrown around but there's a case to be made...

Dan Mullen, Former Florida/Mississippi State Head Coach
Is Mullen interested in a return to the sidelines after working the past three years at ESPN? Although Mullen was dismissed at Florida, he still compiled a 34-15 mark from 2018-21 and won the SEC East title in ’20. Prior to the stint in Gainesville, Mullen went 69-46 at Mississippi State from 2009-17. Mullen's name could pop up in searches at North Carolina and UCF.
I don't know a ton about him but I think he would have to be looked at, if in fact he's interested in getting back on the sidelines.

Part of our challenge could be that the best, proven head coaches are likely taking their teams to postseason play. That somewhat delays their ability to immediately engage — both personally and any staff that they bring along — and begin the turnaround at Purdue with total focus.

Or you can be like Jeff Brohm and just say “screw it” and leave your former team and players in a bad place. And while I do not believe in karma, I do believe that this type of behavior eventually catches up with the perpetrator.

Still like the Iowa State coach, and the Liberty coach looks interesting to me as well.

$9M Severance pay - Our world is screwed up (My rant)

Okay....and the engineer is the least paid... Getting paid to fail is not the way it should be. Like I said, it is a rant.

We all know that these coaches have golden parachutes. Its the way of the hire. I am also a Browns fan, it hurts how much we are paying Watson to be the worst QB in the league, but such is life.

The better example is the CEO who gets fired after tanking a Fortune 500 company and getting his multi million dollar golden parachute that they do not deserve, this is very similar.

He's got $9M to fall back on. He'll probably do to the MAC as a DC and try to work his way back to another P5 DC job.

Flawed logic.

Half of all lawers lose, there is a winning side and losing side. Sometimes your client is guilty, sometimes the prosecuters are wrong and the defendent is innocent. But yes many of times the jury gets it wrong too. Point is nothing lke an engineer, they have to get it right all the time.

As for doctors, everyone dies eventually. If a doctor messes up, they can lose their lcense and money. The doctors job isnt to save everyone's life all the tme, that is an impossble task Once again, the engineer cant be wrong, non sick people will die, their job is to get it right.

As for politicians, nothing like the engineer. They screw us over all the time, both parties, they only really look out for themselves. The engineer has a noble important job, the politician wouldnt know noble if it smacked them in the face.

Just saying flawed logic, lol.

$9M Severance pay - Our world is screwed up (My rant)

"Walters is owed 75% of his remaining compensation at Purdue, which equates to $9.34 million." - ESPN

I have never figured out how to justify paying losers.

Coaches are in the ranks of doctors, lawyers, and politicians. A doctor's patient can die and he still gets paid. A lawyer can lose a case and still get paid. Politicians can f*** us all and still quadruple their net worth. Coaches can go 5-19 and walk away with millions.

Meanwhile, if a engineer has a balcony collapse.... or an inspector misses exposed rebar....

Two immediate thoughts:
1) A college coach is essentially a glorified entertainer— IMO not near the level of importance of a doctor or judge, a teacher , a scientist, or even an elected leader …
Entertainers always have and always will command ridiculous compensation versus what they actually provide to society.

2) thank heaven the unmitigated disaster that was CRW is no more!!!
