I think if you're going to do it, you absolutely do it tomorrow. The season is lost. Start the search process immediately and have something ready December 1st to get on the recruiting trail. Save what we can and work the portal hard.

If we were something like 3-4 I might think otherwise.

RW probably bought some time with the close game against Illinois. But at this point, get it done sooner rather than later.

ECU isn't even that bad. They're 3-4.

Perfect for a thread about clownpants nation and their goose poop stadium. Nicely done.

There are advantages in firing HC now before the season officially ends:

1. It gives notice that a HC job is open and that coaches (who are still employed elsewhere) can have time to think about the opportunity before their agents get involved.
2. It seems that most coaching hires in December (especially early December) already had initial contacts via agents as the season was winding down. (It may not have been official contacts but very preliminary contacts with agents representing individuals who know of coaches)
3. If you wait until Dec. 1 to fire a HC and then start a search committee to hopefully make a decision by the end of December, it typically is too late and the choice candidates have been hired by some other school.

Hire a 7 mil a year proven P4 coach. Or get them all raises

BYU spends way more than you'd like to believe. They have the Mormon bank accounts backing them.

He had some success.

Issue is he cares none about the defensive side of the ball and you just can’t do that in the BIG.

Worked ok for Brohm

How did Trey look at the scrimmage?
Did he show like the established star that Matt (and others) is talking him up to be. All Big 10, etc
Or is Matt doing what he often does, talking up a guy with potential, to boost his confidence? Trying to get him closer to the player he thinks he can be. And that the team NEEDS him to be?
I suspect a mix, but probably more of the latter.
What say you?

I know you won’t read this, but yes, he’s going to be good.

But a difference from the Walters hire is Spack probably would have kept the staff in tack.

By that point that wasn’t a necessity.

It sounds like Burgess should be in the conversation for the center position based on reports. How tall is Burgess?

Both sides of the ball are atrocious. Purdue might have been the only one to get skunked this past week.

A Spack hire would have been the opposite of what IU did. A defensive coordinator who’s never been a head coach.

I dont' disagree, but those are specific circumstances vs a straight up competetion.Lewis was the purest of true pg's. A defensive demon against ball handlers. Keaton was a swing guard playing pg, though a demon in his own right.
Trevion was 6'7-6'8", Zach is an honest 7'3" and 2 time NPOY............ ;0)

But it proves painter won’t just play someone cuz he’s “loyal” if there’s a player who can make Purdue better.

I mean, he wasn’t bad in 2022, but was never a full time starter

Maybe the ladies should play all their games in Mackey, they seemed dominate!

TKR a 12 and 8 guy I’m thinking? Not sure he’s an All Big Ten player, Second team or Honorable mention for sure though.

BoilerDaddy said:

Sure, but Painter also started Lewis Jackson as a true freshman over Keaton Grant, who was coming off a great season. He started Zach Edey down the stretch as a sophomore over one of the best centers in the country in Trevion Williams. There are many more examples, but Painter will play his most deserving players regardless of class.

That said, it doesn’t sound like Burgess is in that position, yet.

Jesus is Mocked by K2 & her K2ites @ Rally.....just days after being the first candidate since Montadale who skipped the Catholic Charity dinner.

So within a week K2 has.....
Insulted Christians.
Insulted all Catholics.

And apparently is pretty joyful about it.

Just a note to @BNIBoiler and all Dem Christians........ You are NOT welcome in your party.

Kamala Harris Mocks Audience Members for Proclaiming 'Jesus Is Lord,' Says 'You're at the Wrong Rally'

Kamala Harris responded to hecklers saying "Jesus is Lord" at a rally in Wisconsin on Thursday by telling them they were in the wrong place.

www.westernjournal.com

For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths.

Harris said nothing against religion in that rally. While she was talking about pro choice the hecklers interrupted and she told them to go to the other rally.

The person that mocked religion was Chump when he and his govt Flavor Aiders walked across the street to the church where he held the Bible upside down. Then at the Catholic, Al Smith dinner during his time at the podium he’s cussin and making an ass of himself as usual.
