never a fan of his, but wow he has all that talent and is currently 3 - 4 w/ 2 losses having a 14 pt lead in the 2nd half, Venables is another guy who will probably be on the hot seat
Lincoln Riley

He had some success.
Issue is he cares none about the defensive side of the ball and you just can’t do that in the BIG.
Both sides of the ball are atrocious. Purdue might have been the only one to get skunked this past week.
Not really. He would have been significantly more successful at Purdue with even a respectable defense, especially from 2019 thru 2020.
I remember quite a few games lost by Brohm teams because of late game bonehead defensive players with things like unnecessary late hits, etc.
How far down the list will Purdue be in the coaching carousel? USC-Oklahoma-FSU potential openings. ECU is currently open with many to follow.
Riley would do fine here but his ego would never let him take it.
wasn't implying for us, just football talk. Personally I like guys like Dickert, Chadwell, or an outside the box choice like Mike Vrabel
I violated my self-imposed remote ban with the Syracuse game in the dome, and I also did my best impression of the chair toss........
ask yourself, what coach would want to come here? Coaching at Purdue is kind of like being a big name free agent signing with the Brewers. it does happen, but only once a decade. and usually when the person is about to retire and looking for one last paycheck before doing so.
TV money, or lack thereof, is what blew up the Pac-12. Their Pac-12 Network was unable to get into Comcast's basic bundle after trying for twelve years. The Big Ten Network got into it on the West Coast a couple of weeks ago. The P-12 commish badly botched the new TV deal and the member schools were probably going to get even less than the pathetic ACC. So USC, UCLA, Washington and Oregon made a smart move.
The people who overseen the Pac-12 blew it up by being morons. "Hey no one can watch our games because of the Pac-12 Network, let's go get a deal with Apple TV, so that people can continue not watching us, and then complain of East Coast bias." The people who ran the Pac-12 were complete morons. That's why it failed.
They were always behind the 8-ball because of time zones. After what they would consider to be a full day of football, most people wouldn't want to continue on into the late evening in the eastern part of the country. A noon start on the West Coast is a 3PM one in the Eastern Time Zone. Living in California years ago I always marveled how you could easily watch football games throughout the entire day on weekends, beginning at 9AM or sometimes even earlier for those eastern time zone ones.
Actually, it's a West Coast viewers heaven and a broadcasters nightmare.
Yep, I agree about the time zones. Yet another factor, there is simply less interest in college football west of the Pecos. I lived in CA for two years and you just don't see the bumper stickers, hats and T-shirts for college teams like you do in the Midwest or the South. Another dead zone for college football is New England.
The people lead a real life. They don't need football like in other parts of the country.
High school sports is still pretty big in the Boston area, but other than BC, there aren't any great options up here, so most people invest in pro sports instead.
