2016 Coach's on the Hot Seat
- Thread starter PaBoiler78
- Start date
It's funny that any name on that list would be a considerable upgrade.
LOL! TOUCHE!.................. Slim to none..but would be nice to see Sumlin come home! Was able to watch him play his last two years my freshman and soph years. Who knows, maybe he would accept a major challenge!
Ironically, Burke's penny pinching is going to cost us a fortune. Any decent coach is going to demand a $3-$4 million a year deal, and at least 7-8 years, like crean and Wilson got at IU when they extinguished those dumpster fires. The talent base will be so eroded by next year that money will be the ONLY reason to take the gig.
Fat Charlie may still be available.

And Kansas would forever love Purdue's AD

We won't be paying that much. The next coach will have a similar resume to hazell or hope
I think Sumlin is a real possibility. After being fired from A&M, he could look at this job as a chance to leave a legacy here. It depends on what other offers are out there.
Purdue wont be a desirable position next offseason so we will either have to pay a lot or take risk on an unproven resume. Actually, we will probably have to do both.
What if somehow we get beyond lucky and win 5-6 games this next season? EKU, Nevada, MD, Ill, and IU wont exactly be fighting to get in the playoffs. Does Morgan give him an extension to help recruiting? I'm not sure there is a worse scenario for us fans.

Lol! Don't think you will have to sweat out a 5-7 season. I think we can all clearly see that HAZZ is a complete failure on and off the field(Another bottom recruiting class) Even with a more favorable schedule, the teams we will be playing will all be improved! Can't say that about us! Anyways sad to say we can afford a guy like Sumlin, but will we ever do it? Losing a cool 800k to a Million in loss revs from attendance as it is now(per game X 7). Packed house, the money would be there. We need a big splash in order to get the fan base back.
They dont care about ticket revenue. The TV revenue is guaranteed and makes 800k a game look like pocket change.
Nice Salary
Hardly chump change in the tune of 6-8mil!!! More than enough money to pay for whole new staff! That has to more of a head scratcher for most!
We will be so bad for Nielsen ratings, I am worried the Big Ten will kick us out.
Honestly, Purdue could go 0-12 the next decade and they'd never kick Purdue out. You honestly think they would kick a founding member of the conference out simply because the football team is a joke? Let's neglect all other aspects about Purdue that make it a huge asset to the conference...one of the best cancer research centers in the world, one of the premier men's and women's basketball programs in the conference, a volleyball team that is one of the best in the best volleyball conferences in the county, and a whole host of non athletic aspects as well. Just silly to honestly think that would happen considering NU was probably much worse in the early 80's.
You're right, I brag about research all the time. No other schools research.
It was a joke, calm down Francis. Just enjoy those VB matches and being a "premier" basketball school with no men's Final 4s in the last 35? years. None in my lifetime and I am 32. I have always maintained the Big Ten needs us. For the brand (OSU, Michigan) to be relevant you need road apples to fill out a schedule.
Since my joke sailed over your head, people in the thread have mentioned that TV money makes Purdue not care about attendance. If no one will even watch our product it would drive advertising down and the Big Ten would say we are killing them. But it was mentioned in jest.
You're right -- every Power 5 conference appreciates a doormat or two -- the other B1G schools love our football program, especially now with the 9-game conference schedule, because it's like having another MAC school on their schedule, while still getting credit for B1G win.
But you are forgetting how admired Burke is by the rest of the conferences ADs. I wonder why that is?
They won't kick us out, but whose to say they wouldn't give better programs a bigger cut of the take, and suck-ass programs like ours a smaller cut?
Mitch keeps sending open letters about not spending on athletics might change that.
Athletic capitalism? Interesting idea. I don't think that is too far off. Maybe do a Governor's Cup point system.
Let's face it, right now we are suckling on the OSU/UM teat. How much longer before they argue for a lions share of the TV money?

What's even more interesting is what they say at his entry on the list;
4. Darrell Hazell, Purdue – Darrell Hazell has now coached three seasons at Purdue and his records on the board are:
Overall: 6 – 30
Big Ten: 2 – 22
Please…ANYONE…tell us why Darrell Hazell is still the head football coach at Purdue?
That is what one would call the Sounds of Freaking Silence!

IMO we have zero shot at getting Sumlin. he's a top 5 coach, based on his salary, and we aren't going to offer a coach anywhere near the $5M he's currently making. i love the thought of it, but i can't see any scenario playing out that would make it a possibility.
The scenario is:
Sumlin gets canned by A & M.
Burke gets sent to the AD basement to staple papers together, and an AD in waiting comes on board.
Sumlin says, "hey this new AD actually knows football, I could work for him!"
Daniels lets the new AD offer a $3 mil/year contract to Sumlin.
I'll hold out hope for Sumlin that he comes home. Alot of Mich. backers never thought Harbaugh would be hired (although the $6 Mil / yr helps).
