David Blough for OC. Smart, personable, played for innovative offensive coaches in college and the NFL, and now coaches for one in DC. Perfect choice.
No. I want all coordinators to have had prior experience calling plays. We are in a pickle right now because we don’t have experienced coaches.

Bring him in as a position coach or analyst
? Sure.

I'm gonna agree with bone here... if Purdue had say 10m just for basketball NIL out of the BA. You don't think Pianter would use that to get elite recruits?

He would still do the normal vetting, and can still tell if someone is just after money. But you don't think he would have gone after Cooper Flagg if he knew he had say 2m ready for him?
Flagg prob got way higher than that haha.

But yeah sure he’d prob go after him but not sure he woulda got him

Sure and if the player doesn’t? What if they don’t make the tournament at all?
That's the risk. No professional athlete, which is what these guys are now that they're getting paid, is going to sign a contract with their money being contingent on achieving some level of success. Sure, there could be incentives for achievement, but everyone wants that guaranteed $, regardless of outcome.

Sumlin is a co-offensive coordinator for Maryland.
And I would 100% expect Maryland would allow him to interview for Purdue HC job early. I would also have expected sumljn would make that a condition of his hiring (permission to interview for HC job). Regardless there are enough feelers out there purdue could hire him immediately after their final game

Am I the only person who checks daily......

I hope we have wheels secretly in motion but a lot of this falls on the BOT and AD.

They hired a coach with 0 HC experience and he hired a staff without play calling experience. They should have forced him to bring in more experienced assistants and even an associate head coach who could be his mentor for years 1&2 at a minimum. The fact we didn't, is crazy.

Anyways, at least we won't lose this weekend....

Never say never (or ever). This new free agency market is constantly evolving and players are for sale to the highest bidder. I don't think Painter likes it, but I think he knows he has to embrace and utilize it.
Painter has said the new landscape in basketball has helped him eliminate players I knows won’t work in his system. I highly doubt we pay out $1mil to a recruit.

I know nothing at all about his financial situation, his level of interest in coaching again, or how attractive he would see the Purdue job.

But... if he could be convinced to take the call, Purdue definitely offers a less cut-throat environment than Florida---and I suspect more realistic expectations than Mississippi State.
I also think a coach like Bronco Mendenhall might be a good option, has a nice career record at BYU and UVA and is currently at New Mexico, a place where Purdue is a couple of steps higher

What are the effective charities you support? How about charities you think are scams?

Since this election is basically over ....thought we could venture out into some other topics.

What do you think are the most effective charities that help people that you support?

My favorite is Samaritan's Purse. Impressive how with every tragedy they are there.....all over the world.

Tunnel to Towers is another good one. What they do with injured vets and widows of service members is amazing

The scam.....ASPCA. I love pets, but if you want to help them donate to your local Humane Society. This ASPCA is a scam where most rescued animals end up euthanized in a short time anyway.
I give to local animal shelters, at least I know where the $ are going. Also give to the Seeing Eye Dog in Morristown, NJ. Can't imagine how it is to be blind ( no BIG10 ref jokes ) and I think it's amazing that a dog could help those people in their daily routines

Nice matchup for a Thursday night

I know got so bad had to put on Wheeling vs Frostburg St. McCord passes reminds me of Card's, very flat w/o much zip on them. Never saw 3 pick 6's in my life and they were all in 1st half
At least someone other than Purdue was responsible for them if it's a record setting event for the opposing team.

I think in one of Brohm's Syracuse games he may have set some kind of record, wasn't there two 15 yard penalties on him on the same play?
