Names to consider for our next football coach?

[POTFHBTFU]

Matt Campbell, Iowa State.

Will only be 45 years old at season’s end. Has demonstrated real loyalty to ISU (not a job hopper always looking for a bigger opportunity). Other than one or two down seasons, has consistently won and has defeated Big Ten schools more often than not with fewer resources and prestige. Is a Midwest guy having coached at a land grant university for the last nine seasons. Team is 7-2 so far this season.

Most importantly, he has extensive head coaching experience and could bring most if not all of his staff with him. At least at Purdue during my lifetime, head coaching experience for more than five years and bringing staff with you have been the only times that Purdue has won in football.

A jump to the Big Ten with greater compensation for him and his staff, more resources, more tradition, and more academic prestige could be appealing to him.

Yes! He is on my short list. Good OL coach if I’m not mistaken too.

Along with names, how about tell us why they would do well at Purdue and if you think they would want the job.

The same reason Brohm did well at Purdue.
Purdue is not cursed and it's not at some mythical disadvantage.
Yeh, we're not OSU, PSU or UM, but NIL and the portal have leveled the playing field and if you get creative, you can compete with those programs.
The expectations at Purdue should be similar to Iowa and Wis.

and Minn.

and Minn.

I actually think the expectations at Minn are pretty low. Their FB program doesn't really have an indentity. At least people still associate Purdue with QBs and offense (at least, up until recently).

Brace yourself, last night on Gold and Black podcast Tom said crw is coming back. Every other coach on staff will be fired but not him. So much for hope.

Agree with this. You can pull down a top 25 salary here and expectations are far more reasonable than most jobs.

Just asking because the suggestions you get on this are largely due to how the person views the job.

Well, that’ll make for an easy decision on whether to re-up $500+ in season tix - plus spend 6 beautiful fall Saturdays (since we’re not smart enough to schedule 7 home games like every other BT team) in disappointment…

He could not have said that in a serious way. There's no way that has ever happened in the modern era. You can stay but you must fire literally every other coach on your staff and start from scratch? No way.

Florida State is the new model with revenue sharing. Four or five asst coaches is cheaper than a head coach, depending on contract lenght.

sorry, if we're talking about expectations, yes I agree. I was coming from the angle of being a middling program similar to Purdue.

Huge difference in buyouts there. $9 mil per for 7 years is a lot different than $9mil total over 3!

I can’t believe we would bring Walters back for anything short of him having blackmail over the entire athletic department. Somebody needs to shake some sense into them…and soon.
