Let's remove the pie in the sky names we all 'hope' to come to Purdue if Hazell is fired...

[JohnnyDoeBoiler]

Remove names like Briles, Herman, Schiano, and even Spack (since he has been thrown around so much).

Who do you think comes to Purdue if Hazell is let go?

Craig Bohl: HC Wyoming
It worked once with Joe Tiller, so why not a second time? Bohl went 2-10 in initial year at Wyoming but his predecessor didn't fair much better winning 4, 5, and 4 the previous 3 seasons. It was widely accepted that Wyoming was an incredibly relaxed program (similar to Danny Hope) before Bohl got there so the 2 win season wasn't much of a surprise. The big question comes now with their conference season coming up if Bohl can show improvement from his 2-6 campaign in 2015.If Bohl can get his team to a bowl game (first since 2011) and his program at NDSU, he could become a frontrunner for the Purdue job as many bigger name programs won't take a shot with him until he can prove it on a bigger stage. Could be a stepping stone job for Bohl but that would mean he is building and improving at Purdue which leads to a larger hiring pool for Purdue.

Major Applewhite: OC Houston
Formerly the QB at Texas and also on staff at places like Syracuse (QB Coach), Rice (OC), Alabama (OC), Texas (RB Coach, assistant HC, OC), and now Houstin (OC). The guy has the pedigree to recruit in places that traditionally have provided Purdue with talent (TX) and has implemented new offensive principles in most places he has gone (moved Rice away from the wishbone to a traditional one back). He is young and would hopefully provide a bit of spark to the program and being the 'Cradle of QB's', he could tab that as a major pitch for QB's coming to Purdue being a well known QB himself nationally at Texas.

Lincoln RIley: OC Oklahoma
Riley is the youngest in the group here but would potentially be ready to step in to a program that needs rebuilding given the chance. He is a former QB from Texas Tech under Mike Leach and has moved OU to a more pass-first offense. He was on staff with Ruffin McNeill at ECU for 5 years where he served as OC and assitant HC. The pedigree with TT could serve him well at Purdue where success has come through the air rather than on the ground.

Bob Stitt: HC Montana
Everyone already knows my feelings about Bob Stitt as I have clamored for him since DH2 was hired. No reason in beating a dead horse at this time BUT the guy would be exciting to watch.

 

[pboiler18]

I don't think any of those names are likely or logical.

We will spend, and spend a good amount. If we hire one of the list above, we will be accused of "going cheap"

All of these guys are cheap, and low end type candidates. Don't be surprised if we pay over $3mil for a guy like Greg Schiano or PJ Fleck.

As cheesy as people think PJ Fleck is with his traditions, the guy is a firecracker and a WELL respected recruiter. I think the on the field results would take a bit to catch up, but we would immediately recruit better with him and raise the talent base. THIS is what we need the most IMO. Coaching is moot until we raise the talent level.

I think Fleck likely gets nabbed at a job higher than us. I think Schiano will be our next coach.

[pb1941]

Check the bio on Joe Morehead o/c at PSU.he was H/C at Fordham and Played qb in collage, The right age 43.I like Bohl but we should have hired him 4 years ago he now is 58 and we would be lucky to get 7 years before he retired.

 

[TheBoris]

Schiano was unemployed for two years after being fired by Tampa Bay and he is now the Asst HC and DC for Ohio State. Your assumption that he is "pie in the sky" for Purdue is really confirmation that you don't know what you're talking about.

I'd be very happy if we got Shiano. Very! Him or Spack are my favorites. I like the recruiting part of Fleck, but agree on that as well he will probably take a job better than Purdue. Kiffin would be my 4th choice for lots of reasons I won't bore people with.
I'd become very optimistic about our outlook in about 2-3 years if we got Shiano. It would bring my excitement back to Purdue football about our future.

So a guy who is a known commodity in college and is now the DC and asst coach to probably the best team in the country would come to Purdue over other bigger jobs? Again, he is a pie in the sky for the simple fact that he is a known commodity in college and will be picked up by a program in a better spot. Think rationally for a moment and why the Schiano would come here over somewhere else..even an AAC school that pays somewhat equally, has equal facilities, and a better commitment from the university.

Don't think Applewhite or Riley would be considered cheap..maybe a stretch hire given their ages (38 and 33) and probably need a job at an AAC lower school (ECU) or a Sunbelt/Mountain West school. However, given the state that Purdue is in...the next guy is going to have to be given 6-8 years to rebuild IF he shows he is the right man for the job 3-4 years in. If that's the case, even Riley would be in his 40's by the time the turnaround is really stable and progress has been substantial enough to warrant extension or him leaving for another job.

As a P5 school that is as low as Purdue is now (arguably only Kansas is worse off), Purdue probably needs to find a younger guy (agree Fleck is probably the best hire but I think he'll end up at some where else) that can infuse some energy and win some recruiting battles. Purdue needs a Kliff Kingsbury type of coach.

I'm in the same boat as you with regards to Stitt. Love to see what he could do at Purdue. In his first game at Montana, last year, he beat 5x Straight FCS Champions, North Dakota State, who was starting a first round pick at QB, Carson Wentz. This year he has him off to a 2-0 start. And they just beat Northern Iowa who was #3 in FCS. Has Montana ranked #6 now.

Again, I said to look realistically at names that either haven't been thrown around before ad naseum or are a pie in the sky. I get your attempt at sarcasm but I don't remember me ever saying that Gruden or Cowher would actaully be coming to Purdue. I do remember responding to a thread that was listing our ideal candidates and I did say Gruden would be one of the few home run hires if he was to come to Purdue...and be honest, he would be a total home run with his enthusiasm and his popularity.

So like I said previously, read the post where I said remove the 'pie in the sky' candidates and maybe take a look in depth at some coaches who could be brought to Purdue who we haven't thought of before...I stuck Stitt in there because he is my favorite candidate.

Again with the "I'm 100% sure this won't happen"......
Until we know that our AD has had a conversation with someone's agent and some $$ numbers have been thrown around, don't be so confident in what you think you know because the reality is, you don't.
We, you included, have no idea what kind of $ MBob has to work with for our next HC, and let's be honest, that's about 80% of the equation on who we get.

Exactly. This childish squealing "I'm 100% certain that Schiano won't take the job" tells you more about the limited intellect of the poster than about Schiano's intention.
Last year Rutgers hired tOSU DC Chris Ash as head coach, a job that's arguably even worse than Purdue. Purdue could easily double or triple what Schiano is making at tOSU.

An Ohio state fan told me yesterday that "no way he goes to Purdue". I don't think it had to do with Purdue sucking of late, but said Meyer wouldn't let him go before 2 years as an assistant of his. I'd like to prove him wrong. The fact he hasn't had a job for several years I think he'd be happy to end up at Purdue. I think Meyer is just helping a buddy out getting him a job so people will want to hire him again. I think Purdue has a great shot at landing him if Bobinski tries.

 

[TopSecretBoiler]

We're 7 games in 4 years away from being no better off than if a cracker jack box coached the team. I'd take a 16 year old Madden champ at this point.

Purdue is an absolute dumpster fire and will take years to rebuild. It is highly likely he wont be interested.

psu is averaging 2 TD's more / game this year so far, can't imagine how many points that O will put up on us.

Wanna see a dumpster fire? The Rutgers' record for the five years before Schiano arrived was: 3-8 in 2000; 1-10 in 1999; 5-6 in 1998; 0-11 in 1997 and 2-9 in 1996.

He took that challenge and this was his record in eleven years as Rutgers HC. Note six bowl games of which he won five:

Rutgers Scarlet Knights (Big East Conference) (2001–2011)
2001 Rutgers 2–9 0–7 8th
2002 Rutgers 1–11 0–7 8th

With Stitt, if he was great 4 or so years ago, is it not concerning that NO ONE has kicked the tires on him in that time period?

With the list and the OCs, Purdue will hire a person who has HC experience. It is just what we do. I would prefer someone with a defensive background but brings in an innovative OC.

No offense taken New Pal. Although some on here may have thin skin and be offended, I didn't take it as making fun. Just a difference of opinion and I was simply trying to explain my rationale. We can always agree to disagree. Schiano would be an amazing hire but just won't come to Purdue because he is one of the proven commodities as an OC/DC in the country who didn't fail previously. Just don't think Purdue can make their package attractive enough for him unless they are including a total revamp of Ross-Ade, rebuilding Mollenkauf, and showing some big backing from the JPC's richest members. This is why I was trying to expand my own personal belief of who will be here (Fleck, Spack, etc) and remove the guys who would be an obvious home run hire (Schiano and Leach).

JohnnyDoe, try making statements like "I don't think Schiano would come here" rather than flat proclamations such as "...he just won't come to Purdue...." It would give you a lot more credibility.

I guess I'm a little slap-happy at this point. Can't cry, might as well laugh, right?

I don't think facilities is a valid issue at this point. RA still needs a facelift IMO, but if the new player facility doesn't help the new coach we might definitely be doomed to suck forever.

I know some of the sticks in the mud would cry here about it, but Cary quad needs gutted and turned into an athlete only dorm. Trick it out with all the stuff athletes need and want. It being so close to the athletic facilities is awesome too. Its a no brainer to me.
