Interesting article on Schiano

Excuse me for responding to my own post but this article mentions something that I had not previously considered.
There were 26 HC jobs open last year. The number of jobs that open up this year will have a significant impact on the pool of HC candidates that we have choose from.
For example, Purdue is probably the only B1G school to open up this year. If the other P5 conferences have a grand total of only, say, 5-6 vacancies, then there will be considerably less competition for the Flecks and Schianos and Hermans that there would be if there were a couple dozen schools looking for HCs.
This year might be "good timing" for Purdue to be in the market for a HC.

I expect us to come in at the 2.5-3mil range............Love Flecks offense(Joe Tiller all the way)! Will almost triple his salary to come here.........................
I would be happy to get Schiano. Our current players will probably sh*t their pants. I heard he is a total disciplinarian. No BS at all. Unlike DH that was their "buddy". That's why Schiano was not a good fit for the NFL. The players didn't like his discipline. He made Rutgers relevant. No-one before or after him has been able to do that. Obviously, he knows how to turn a turd into a team.
I actually think what got Hazell in to problems is that he took too much of a CEO/NFL type approach to overseeing the program. He self-admitted that he made a mistake of not meeting with the players personally when he was hired and failed to spend time to get to know them on a personal level. Want to figure out why that first year was a total disaster....there you go.
Here is another good article on Schiano.

He is definitely one of my favorite of the list I've seen. I think we could hire him as soon as our season ended right after the IU game. I would think he could assemble a really good staff as well.

When I first heard he did not meet with the players personally I knew he was clueless and we were in trouble. In the NFL if a player isn't doing what it takes the player knows they will be shown the door without any notice.
Schiano is my first choice because (1) I think he could turn things around at Purdue and (2) I think he'd stick around. We know he's not looking to the NFL and WL is s good place to raise a family, good schools, low crime, etc.
With Fleck or Rhule or Herman, they're younger and may be more inclined to use Purdue as a stepping stone.

At this point if a coach were to rebuild Purdue enough to be sought after from the big boys, than he'd obviously have them back in contention. Which is fine by me.
I'd rather a coach leavethe team in competitive shape for greener pastures than the current dumster fire they're in now.
You guys are looking at the wrong "either or".
Would you prefer a coach who comes here, wins and stays or one who comes here, wins and leaves?

If he wins he can take a dump on the 50 yd line on his way out for all I care.
