Criteria for next HC

[bonefish1]

I wanted to trust and believe in Walters, but I believe he's lost this team and they've quit on him. That's extremely difficult to recover from.
That said, if MBob were putting together a criteria list for the next HC, what would it be:
Mine are:
1) HC experience, preferably at a P5 school, not a service academy and not someone who got lucky for 1 year (Hazell). Sorry, no more coordinators without HC experience.
2) Recruiting: values speed and athletes. Tiller took athletes and found a position for them, even if it wasn't what they were originally recruited for. Bunch of these types made the NFL.
3) Embraces NIL. It is what it is. You have to use it and it can be an equalizer to some extent.
4) Test consistently competitive and rarely get blown out. You play hard every down of every game, regardless of the score. Yeh, blowouts will happen, but a team quitting is a different story.
5) Doesn't believe in the notion that Purdue is at any sort of disadvantage.

My list is simple:

1) Have experience
2) Not be like Hazell
3) Not be like Walters
4) See above.

#1 eliminates just about anybody who would actually take the job.

3) Embraces NIL.

Who pays?

I would expand #1 to include G5. In some ways, continued success at a G5 school might be a better indication of their ability to succeed at Purdue than the same success at a P5 school. You know the G5 coach has not been successful based off talent alone. He's had to go out and find less heralded recruits and coach them up. He's probably had to deal with some of his best players transferring out to bigger programs. He probably wasn't able to go buy the best players in the portal to fill holes in the roster. He probably has experience at taking inexperienced athletes who aren't highly regarded as football players and coaching them to be useful and productive members of the team that can compete with four-star talent they line up against.

Basically the coach at a G5 school has demonstrated over 5+ years that they can do more with less.

 

[TC4THREE]

1. A 5+ year track record of success as a FBS head coach.

2. Able and willing to bring staff with him.

3. Well connected in recruiting and leaves no stones unturned to identify under-the-radar talent.

4. Demonstrated ability to coach up quarterbacks and coordinate a dynamic passing attack.

 

[BeerbellyBoiler]

Offensive minded coach who can bring a staff with him rather than build one with everyone else leftovers

 

[DrEss]

Identify and recruit/poach offensive and defensive lineman.
