Names to consider for our next football coach?

Not that you give a heck what I think fellas, but what about Stoops at Kentucky? He is a good recruiter with strong Ohio ties, and is seasoned in leading teams that aren’t at the top of their power conferences. Kentucky fan base is wanting change. I think a good push for him could easily grab him up.

Tough game Saturday. Silver lining is your admin/BOT has zero place to hide after that. No nuance to hide behind… coach must go.

I know you will right the ship. Always do.
 
Urban Meyer will only return to coaching if it’s Ohio State.

Egg-on-your-face comment by Meyer at halftime of “The Game”…Ohio State has an advantage at the wideouts…and it’s not even close. You can plainly see it on the field. Then…the Buckeyes go out in the 2nd half and…score 0 points!🤣😂😧

Chip Kelly might be on the hot seat.

I was thinking about Stoops last night when I was reading about if Day gets canned, Kentucky would be a possible landing spot then Stoops is out there.

hoping for a Silverfield instead of a silver lining

I don’t follow Kentucky closely but their fan base is ridiculous. They have had some troubling let downs but also had some inspiring performances. You guys will need to figure out the money issue. Doesn’t matter who you get at the helm if you don’t have any money for assistants. Today you gotta pay it to just find out. IU lucked into it but to their credit they recognized it and paid up. In my opinion, if you are going to bring guys in low and say “prove it”, you are gonna wait a looong time before you get lucky… I.e. IU

If iu, one of the worst football programs in NCAA history, can find $72M to commit to their head coach, money is not a problem for Purdue. iu has no, zero, none, football identity.

IU also had a dream football schedule this year. No Penn State, Iowa, Oregon or Wisky.
 
If Day got canned, Purdue better be on the phone with his agent 5 minutes later.
Day wouldn't be canned until a loss in the CFP. I guess there's a chance they don't make the CFP, but I believe that comes out 12/8. Either way, there's no chance in hell Day is coming here.

Yes…. And it usually doesn’t matter 😂😂😂… we were capable of losing games we should win. That said, it was stacked against us in the East/West setup. 4 losses built in every season under that setup. We were the chum for that division.

iu is better than wisky and Iowa, they took advantage o f their schedule like we did when we got to the BIG10 Champ game

OSU is in the Playoffs even after that UGLY loss yesterday. They played 3 top five opponents this year which the Committee looks at favorably.

OSU is the closest thing to a Jeckll-Hyde team this year. One day they look unbeatable, the next time out look like garbage which traces back to their worthless HC - Ryan Cooper
 
Napier got a vote of confidence and they got a little win streak goin o

Well you can only play those on the schedule. It did help us obviously. But I look at the bigger picture, and that reflects a change in IU’s football program for the good. Is it long lasting? Well that remains to be seen. If you want money for your other sports, which I think they are finally embracing, you can’t ignore the giant pile of concrete next to mecca…. I think most IU fans just want to be competitive instead of a perennial doormat

your last sentence says it all, don't want to be a doormat. Now I don't care for Fleck's antics all the time, but he's done a great job at traditionally lower to middling program in BIG10, almost every year has them hitting their ceiling along w/ some so so seasons but always competitive, that's what I want see, we'll never be up w/ the big boys every year

But you went…. Can’t take it away and you had a chance to compete. Big10 is no longer beholden to OSU and Mich only. They have to be more pure in their decisions and not show out right favoritism. They still are the big guys on the block but there are new families in the neighborhood that must be accounted for… I’m hoping the officiating improves from week to week.
 
I doubt a current Power 5 coach would come to Purdue. They need to look at successful coaches at smaller schools, similar to what IU did....and just roll the dice.
