Darian DeVries to IU

IU fans trying to "prove" that IU made a good coaching hire on a Purdue message board is just futile and stupid. I'm not sure what the point is. You very well might be right, but trying to get anyone here to side with you is like a divorced woman telling her ex that he made a good choice with his next relationship. He very well may have, but how can she say that?

Speaking from experience of course.
This whole discussion with the IU ass hats is ridiculous. They're here on a PU board looking for some validation that their AD made a good choice. Good lord, what idiots. Why do they even care what PU fans think? If/when PU gets a new coach, the last place I would go to get validation would be an IU board.

Uh... It's a thread about the new coach, started by a Purdue fan. Do you not like to talk to fans outside of the Purdue bubble?

You bring nothing to the table. Anytime anyone brings up a negative about the guy or his experience you look to argue and just want everyone to agree it was a great hire. No idea why you care what anyone here thinks. Again, you're just here looking for validation. Little brother mentality.

When PU and CMP part ways, PU will hire one of their own.

No one is looking for validation. But holy hell use some common sense and logic. If Raphael Davis can, I think any Purdue fan can. And I can guarantee, Purdue fans would be stoked to have DeVries had Painter called it quits.

That’s not true. I wouldn’t be stoked at all. I believe we will get better. Paint ain’t leaving no dumpster fire like IU has.

It isn't about what's being left, it's about what is on the market. Painter had said he was retiring... Purdue isn't getting a Scott Drew or TJ Otz either. It'd be someone on the level of DeVries, Pope, Kelsey, McCollum, Wade(though Purdue would never pursue Wade).

That's hilarious. You said you weren't looking for validation and then looked for validation in the same post. Classic.

Purdue will have a culture in place and Painterd replacement will fit into that culture.

Okay... So that somehow means they are stealing away a big time name? I'm talking right now. If painter said, I am retiring after the tourney, who is Purdue getting? I could actually see them going after Ben McCollum.
 
Reneau is a solid fit for some team. He would be a positive at Purdue, but not the best fit for the team IMO
The best part about Reneau to Purdue is the anger the fan base would feel.

That said, I don't want him. I want to see us pickup a true 5. Someone like Drew Fielder or Owen Freeman.
