... that is, unless he's bringing his OLine with him
 
I don't think that Warriner is a particularly appealing candidate but the tone of the article was. There seems to be a high degree of interest in the Purdue job.

We have a lot of posters on this forum who say "Miles would never take it" or "Schiano would never take it". Methinks the nattering nabobs of negativism are wrong.

If you offered Art Briles $2.75 - $3.25 million per year, that would be a highly respectable offer for a man in his shoes right now. He was making about $4 million per year but he isn't going to find that unless LSU, Texas, Oregon, etc. come calling at seasons end. A salary at that level would put Purdue squarely in the middle of the B1G for paying coaches at #6 and would constitute a rise of 4 spots (Hazell was set to make $2.14 million). I think that would constitute a respectable push by the new AD to show that they use their money wisely WITHOUT getting in to an arms race (as Daniels has pointed out).

As a side note, want to know why Kansas is so terrible...their HC is currently making $801k. That would rank him second to last in the AAC above Matt Rhule from Temple only. Hell, he'd be 7th in the Mountain West!
 
I think Briles would be a good hire and ditto Matt Rhule of Temple. And I wouldn't be surprised to see either of them jump at the job.

The moneychangers at Purdue have...well...changed. Since Haze was hired, we've gotten a new prez, a new AD and a new Chair of the BOT. Having learned the hard way that penny-pinching on coach salaries is self-defeating, I imagine MBII has a free rein for hiring the new coach.

With a federal probe of Baylor announced today,

I don't think anyone is going to touch Briles. He may be the scapegoat, but no one is going to take a chance that one year from now something comes out of this federal probe concerning Briles.
 
Pass on Warriner. OL coaching background.

Id rather have someone from a lower level who is used to competing inspite of disadvantages recruiting. Fleck and Calhoun come to mind.

Good quote from Spiro Agnew of the Nixon administration...
