Sure. We expect him to suck in the tourney, but if he starts sucking in the regular too….sheesh!
So going 10-10 and making the tournament for the 8th year in a row is a fireable offense at Purdue?
It is after 20 years of the same thing. It’s just time for a change. Painter’s been a really good coach for Purdue. But, he’s done absolutely everything that he is capable of doing. I thank him for what he has done, and I would thank him to move on.
Maybe. But…name calling…c’mon guy. Be better than that.
I don’t consider myself “FIRE PAINTER!” or a moron, but here’s my answer to this question. If those were the results this year in what was expected to be a rebuilding year, then no. Clearly you see what he can do with returning talent and new recruits (have to assume Edey not playing at a NPOY level to be 10-10 so guessing he is coming back in this scenario).
Not really sure. I will say that I would model us after what the SEC is doing from a coach/athlete standpoint. I sadly see basketball going the same way as football where the SEC is head and shoulders above everyone else.
They were doing NIL before there was a NIL. Way ahead of the game.
So you want to fire the B1G champion coach, who has made 3 sweet 16s in the last 6 tournaments, pay him $16 million to go away, and you have no idea who should replace him.
That’s correct. I will take my chances with the field. TBD has a much better chance at getting us to a Final Four.
Because nearly every other coach in the nation has done it? Just randomly pick one and put them in charge. It has to be better than what we currently have. Is that the proposal?
S16 aren't e8 and don't counter act r64 loses to 13 or 16 seed.
The difference is expectations of an 18 year coach. Some fans have a goal of winning a f4 and when the team lead by painter flushed its best chance to getting there 2 years in a row and 3 years ago was another double digit seed loss in the first round. 4 years ago the team wouldn't have made the tourney 5 years ago painter fondly broke his e8 cherry only for his team to give away the f4 in the final minutes of play. Idk not hard for people with that expectation to be an ainter.
Yes. Everyone in the country has at least the same number of Final Fours as CMP…including you and me…and my two dogs.
Yep, losing to double-digit seeds three years in a row shows that he’s got things trending in the right direction.
FDU game was awful? What about St. Peter’s and North Texas? Arkansas Little Rock before that. VCU before that. I’m tired of Purdue losing to these jive teams. We know Painter ain’t going to change his basketball philosophy, so we need to go a different direction. You must be satisfied in winning conference championships.

Crean made a Final Four, do you want to buyout Painter for $16 million and then hire him ?
So if we had been a 9 seed and lost to Arkansas in the first round, you would want to pay Matt $16 million to go away and go hire some unknown commodity?
Yes. That’s exactly what I want. But…wait…what if we can’t get him?!?!? All the Painter lovers say we could not possibly get someone better!!!!! What will we do?!?!?
Yep. Even more so. A BIG team being a 9 seed means that team is jacked up. You need a better coach.
Little Archie didn’t lose to any “jive teams” in the NCAA when he was at IU. Do you want to go after him?
Imagine the teeth gnashing and screams of a mod coming and removing a poster for starting a thread calling others morons or baby bitch boys. Snowflakes are always the loudest and entitled to any language they want while desperately trying to silence others. Funny.
