If it's Spack ...?

[BoilerBonz]

will you:

a. support the decision, as a safe choice.
b. throw a tantrum but stay onboard.
c. $hit your own crate by badmouthing Spack, MBob, Mitch, etc., to all who will listen.
d. swear off Purdue football forever (and not buy the season tickets you never buy anyway).
e. fill in the blank ...

 

[BeerbellyBoiler]

E. Be prepared for a low end Bowl game every few years.

 

[MilwaukeeBoilerFan]

Too safe a bet. He'd bring 5-8 wins per year.
Probably D, but Spack will at least improve the defense. Could likely get Greg Olson onboard and get the team headed in the right direction.
It would not be the splash I was hoping. Even though I like the guy, that hire should have happened at Tiller's end of tenure.

 

[KentuckyBoiler]

I guess we are willing to open up our checkbook would have been just talk then.

 

[ahhculdee]

I would be disappointed.

 

[PaBoiler78]

I would be disappointed.

I would take Holtz or even B Kelley ( if he gets canned ) over Speck.

What if we offered the open checkbook but those elite candidates said no? $$ only goes so far. We could and have done much worse.

 

[BoilerBulldog]

It would make me realize how pathetic our boosters are if they really thought they had somebody "better than Miles".

It can't be Spack. I won't give up on Purdue but it would make me realize we don't care about getting back to the Tiller level ever again.

[Cevol03]

Is there some credible info that makes people think its Spack? I personally would be shocked if its him

This x10000000. Spack was reportedly interviewed, but there have been zero rumors beyond that.

Yes...late December in Detroit...trying to save face against a MAC opponent.

I talked with a guy this past week who played football with Nebrasks and he said he was told it will be Bo Pelini. I told him all the rumors and he said he talked to someone who would know at Nebraska and he said it would be Bo Pelini. Not site how I feel about that but anything is better than what we have had.

No way. I'd take spack over that nut case.

 

[JohnnyDoeBoiler]

Pelini has a better track record and if he brings in a good OC, I'd be behind a Pelini hire.

 

[SIBoiler2]

I'm beginning to believe this whole process is turning into a clusterf......

 

[ossim]

Spack doesn't fix our recruiting issues which has been our biggest crutch since Tiller left. If MB2 isn't addressing a coach that can do that first and foremost then he doesn't understand college football and I might as well skip football for the next 4 years.

 

[ghostoffatjack]

If it's Spack I would be underwhelmed!

 

[New Pal Boiler]

Pelini is a mediocre recruiter, he's not the guy.

You don`t rebuild a train wreck over nite. Who ever Mr.Bob hires I will back even if it`s Miles.I would rather see a younger coach but just like the rest of the knuckleheads on this board we don`t pick the coach

 

[Heiner]

I'll throw up all of the great meal I just ate. This is becoming a clusterfu...

 

[BoilerBulldog]

If we get to Monday and crickets, then I'll start to worry.

 

[Cleanface]

100% D.


I will go full on the Harbaugh bandwagon. F it. I loved him as a Colt, and I love his coaching style. I have always been a little bit of a closet UM foobaw fan anyway.

PU football will be a continued joke w Spack.

This. Looks like the first domino is falling with LSU and Herman. Will help if Texas Kees Strong. I've still got a really good feeling about this.

Beyond disappointed. Terrible option and I can't believe people on this board are pining for it.

Please do ... if it keeps you occupied away from more timely discussions, with your definition of "idiocy" of course being any opinion that differs from your own.

I'll support him. I kind of like Stash. I wonder if he's really interested.
