Muffet retires

[DAG10]

Interesting, at least to an extent...bringing Ivey back makes sense certainly.

She’s already been hired.

I realize that and was just making the point that she was a very logical choice given the situation...glad Purdue got Ivey when they did.

Odd timing for her to go out professionally coming off the horrible season they had by their recent standards. Probably some personal reasons involved.

Apparently it was a succession plan all along.
Muffet always said she wouldn’t be coaching at 70 and she’s 65.

If it was genuinely a succession plan, Ivey would not have left...a succession plan would have made sense, but, just as you note...she still had 5 more years to coach potentially.

Purdue/Keady/Painter was a succession plan...McGraw retiring unexpectedly during a pandemic after an embarrassing season and Ivey coming back less than a year after she left is not a succession plan...regardless of what she or anyone at ND try to suggest.

She appeared to be close to a nervous breakdown at some of her late season news conferences this last year. I am not completely shocked.
