Not sure who you think will be banging his doors down to hire him. Won’t be a top program, maybe a struggling p5 team, like Wake or Nebraska ( which would be a step down). He’s not getting a Carolina, Duke or UK type job with his March record.
How Painter stays

- Start date
FU...You such a Painter's ball licker. You must be a relative or something. He owe us $$$ for choking so much in March. Come up for air once in a while you ball licker...
Classy… Please tell me you aren’t a Purdue grad.
A school with big NIL money would love to have him. That’s the first thing coaches ask about in interviews.
Everyone is being paid. It’s just a matter of how much, and buying the right ones to not only win in the tourney, but also survive the 20 game B1G rassleball season.
So you would fire Painter and hire Kelvin Sampson or Rick Pitino? And you hope that Purdue loses Colvin and Catchings to speed along Painter's firing? That was the topic, you senile old fart.
BTW, you are one year older than me, dad. Now go change your diaper and soak your teeth for the night.
School with big NIL money want to advance in March. Not lose to 13, 15 & 16 seeds.
Everyone is melting down. Painter is likely about as good as it gets for a head coach given what Purdue offers. He is paid less than most of the B1G (see how they did in the tourney recently), less than any of the top 25 programs in the nation (yes we are still one of those), has an administration that doesn't support NIL, and works for an institution that just isn't a destination for top tier talent (nor will we likely ever be).
Fact is he has a tough freaking job, and has done very well at it when you consider the above. I can't think of anyone in the nation that could convince a top athlete to come to a conservative school with 60% men, in West Lafayette, IN, while not paying them squat compared to 20-40 other better locations.
You want to help Purdue be successful, get out your wallet and figure out a way to pay some recruits NIL money like other schools are. Miami Grads publicly bought their team this year. It's full of super athletic players at every position. They weren't good last year, their alumni literally did a publicity stunt about paying Peck $800,000k to transfer along with another few players getting paid in further announcements. I don't like it but this is what the game has become.
As far as choking goes. Making the tourney every year, and the sweet 16 more often than not is actually very good. Most programs don't do that. Yes a FF is long overdue, but we are on that trajectory with improved recruiting and becoming more of a reload team instead of a rebuild team. We are very similar to Nova, Baylor, and Virginia over the last 15 years. All of them were chokers until they weren't. Lightning has to strike to win a chip, and the best way to make sure that happens is to be in the mix every single year. Oh and make sure we have at least one athletic guard and someone that can hit a 3 point shot. (that last one is my biggest gripe about this years team.)

Starts with being competitive year in an year out.
His greatly improved recruiting the past few seasons is a pretty good reason.
Lastly, we fortunately have some intelligent people in charge that grasp where the program is and where it's headed under current leadership.
If you can't see progression at a national level, well...........
then you'll be one of those silly people talking about him getting fired.
While I agree with you, why resurrect a thread that was started as an overreaction to the FDU loss? I think that by now, it is obvious to most that Painter’s seat is not the slightest bit hot.Starts with being competitive year in an year out.

Bonehead has fallen and hit his head. Either that or Courtsense has hacked his ID. I’m betting on the head injury since Courtsense does not have the interest or intelligence to hack anyone.
To me, this sounds very unrealistic and slightly oblivious to the realities of college sorts.

Sometimes I think you just post outrageous shit to just get attention. You have been on a rampage lately and it’s getting old.
Toughen up buttercup. Painter is not considered to be a strong recruiter. He’s average at best. Just live with it.
"You" don't consider Painter to be a strong recruiter. I think you presume too much in saying that as a general statement. The coaches he has beaten for players might think otherwise.
Going by class rankings, in the last 5 years, ending in '22, the highest ranked Purdue class was 26th. 18-21' were all ranked between 30-55th.
i believe the '23 class is ranked high.
But, from a class ranking perspective, the experts don't think too highly of Painter's recruiting.
Are you sure you want to rely on class ranking when Jaden was ranked 93rd and Zach ranked in the 300's?
well....we certainly can't rely on tourney performance.
Sort of the worst variety of intellectual laziness to reply to every point that doesn't support your narrative with the same response, whether it's relevant or not (it's certainly not here). Why bother having a discussion if that's your approach?
You used recruiting ratings to support your view that Painter isn't a good recruiter knowing that there are a number of cases where he's identified and signed players who were vastly underrated. I actually somewhat agree with you in that I see Painter as just an 'ok' recruiter, but you can make that point while still being intellectually honest in making your argument.
If we're being honest around what expectations should be for a program like Purdue it's already occurred.
Three Sweet Sixteens and an Elite Eight in the last six tournaments far exceeds what anyone outside of Purdue would expect. It's our own fault as fans if our expectations are FF's and better.
I disagree.
I think not expecting to lose to double digit seeds three years in a row is a more than fair expectation.
Too many people with settlers mentality/consciousness in this fanbase and in this world.
Again, FAU and SDSU are more exceptions than they are the norm.
Obviously, recruiting is far from a perfect science; generally, however, it is a pretty good indicator of a program/team's success.
.
Did Miami and UConn have a bunch of top 10 classes ?
Hmmm…seems all these exceptions are becoming the norm…
Lmao you're ridiculous, dude. Miami and UCONN both had a TON of talent, including dynamic, playmaking guards and wings.
Miami had three dynamic guards -- Wong, Pack, and Miller -- to go with an athletic, undersized big in Omier who perfectly fit its guard-oriented, spread you out approach.
UCONN had six (6) top 70 kids on its roster.
Come on, man.

Nobody said you HAVE to have a top 10 class. Now you're just making things up.
No, it's not ALL about recruiting rankings. We are just saying that they matter.
It's okay to be wrong sometimes, man. Actually, it's a sign of emotional maturity and growth.
Then we’ll all look forward to your emotional maturity and growth when Purdue loses a game next March. Maybe you won’t cry for Painter to be fired again.
