So the real center of the problem is the AD. Mark my words, the womens basketball team is going to follow in the same footsteps as our football team. Bobinski is the problem. I'd like us to go after someone like Brad Bates who was a helluva AD at Vandy, BC, and Miami/Oh. Currently he is on the board of one of the best leadership research groups for placing AD's and others. Maybe we could sway him back into the AD biz? https://collegiatesportsassociates.com/previous-placements/

So he could get threatened to be fired by guys on internet message boards?

Doubtful.

As an AD goes, he’s selling out football games with a lousy product . That sounds like he’s doing an awesome job. Isn’t that what the Cubs and Bears have done for the last century?

The other Purdue sports are doing well. What we have at Purdue is an AD that cares about all sports rather than focus on just football.

Purdue has the bare minimum sports required to classify as D1. MBB keeps us relevant. WBB is way down. Golf does better than average. VB is consistently good. Diving is good. Baseball had a once in 100year season. Other than that Purdue is pretty average and probably below average in the Big 18. Bobo is just playing it out till retirement.

I judge an AD by different metrics. How were football ticket sales this year? Facility upgrade and expansion? Revenue generated? Donations? That’s his job, not coaching!

The silliness. Brohm left us late in the cycle. While if love for purdue to be able to hire a coach away from a top tier program that just isn't happening.

Who took a similar position as purdue in 2022, that you wished mbob should have grabbed?

Do you know the difference between leading indicators and trailing indicators?
