If IU was the flaming turd of the past, we might be able to withstand another year of misery before righting the ship, but we are now in a much more dire position than we were with Hope and Hazell.

Our in-State recruiting just became dramatically more difficult than any time in recent memory. Who in their right mind would commit to play football at Purdue under Walters over Cignetti with IU? We better find a high caliber coach immediately or our hole will be so deep it will take decades to dig out.

It is now time for Purdue to spend and to spend big.

Only alternative method I see is to fill Ross-Ade next year under Walters would be to start offering a limited time all-inclusive wristband with each season ticket granting a fireball shot every time our opponent scores and unlimited Busch Lite chasers.

The ONLY hope we have is a Blue chip university hires Cignetti out from IU... Otherwise it will be a very long time before we even compete with IU again...

IU spends $64 million and Purdue stuggling to get rid of Walters at $3 million per year. Absolute joke and tells you everything you need to know.

Should we have offered Brohm a contract like Cignetti just got and would have that kept him? Interesting question now, in lieu of what IU has done.

Yea, I wonder if throwing the bag at Brohm cold have kept him.. He's been good at Louisville though. the program has a higher ceiling. Especially in the ACC...

Brohm’s good but not Cignetti good.

Search him on Twitter right now. Louisville fans aren't thrilled.

Wouldn’t have mattered I don’t think. Also his recruiting was falling apart at the end. Probably because he knew he had no reason to work hard at it.

Well they’re delusional.

 

[TC4THREE]

Well they’re delusional.

Agree. But we were to the point of paying him excessively to keep him here when he didn't want to stay. And it may be he'd go back to Louisville anyway. But they're getting exactly what he proved to be at Purdue. Purdue fans were happy with big wins mixed with some disappointing losses. I don't know how long Louisville fans will tolerate beating Clemson then losing to Stanford due to some undisciplined penalties and bad decisions down the stretch. Could be he eventually gets fired and the family name becomes the black sheep in Louisville rather than royalty.

He just signed a new $72 million contract with IU good thru 2032 I believe.

1. Cignetti is 62. At best he has 8-10 more years. Probably less.

2. Not every year will work out like this year has. He's a good coach I think but he had this schedule set up for him and transfers have worked out and not many injuries.

3. Even if IU is good it doesn't prevent us from being good also.

Indiana has 1 4+ star commit. Let’s not forget Cignetti is 63 and will be 68 when these kids graduate. And he brought 14 senior transfer starters to play over the players who were with indiana. And that the players likely are getting a fraction of other top 25 teams and maybe less than purdue. We see all star pro athletes spurn their cities to get slightly more money. Winning won’t alone get it done.

He’s 63 and the fifth oldest coach in P4/P5.

Yeah, his coaching today might have been more embarrassing than Walters'.

 

[POTFHBTFU]

Cignetti good? He’s 63 and been coaching for 27 years and still has no major wins. They’ve played good this year and rankings be rankings but brohm has had teams that would be 10-0 with their schedule. It’s still early.

When he left, I predicted Brohm would average going 8-3 at Louisville. Over the course of 10 years, going 80-30 and to a bowl game every year would make most fans happy Iowa fans are happy with their coach and his success. My guess is most Purdue fans would be happy if their coach averaged 8 win for 10 years.
But there are always fans who are never happy and then they realize how good things actually were. Look at Nebraska. Petrino just wasn’t good enough. Look at Auburn! Look at Texas A&M.

Some fans are never happy. They don’t want to give any of their money to support the program. They just want to complain.

Over the years I’ve donated my money to PMO and cancer research. They are both doing very well. Instead of watching a boring football game, maybe you should check out an exciting PMO Christmas show. The good seats were sold out a long time ago. There may be a few cheap seats in the balcony left. Intelligent people know a good thing when they see it. And those students do not demand NIL money! And they devote just as much of their time as athletes do to present their performance!

See you there!

Beech beech beech! That all some of you ever want to do! Life is good. Why don’t you start enjoying it? Take in the Feast of the hunter’s moon! Visit the Indy zoo. There is more to life than Purdue football!
