Purdue should hire Patrick Ewing. Great fit and will get us the national championship.
New coach
- Thread starter dlaird8
- Start date
Go get Shaka Smart. We can afford it.
SHAKA! Been asking for him for years.
Make the call MBob!

Keep Painter around as director of basketball operations or something like that. He’s a great ambassador for the program.
But if Purdue is actually serious about winning a national title, he can’t remain as head coach. But, I’m sure he will.

How about Nate Oates , pay him and get him from Ala.?
even more depressing than losing to a 16 seed is knowing that painter isnt going anywhere and nothing will change
We should just keep Painter. We'll never be better than losing to a play in team. I mean, if we fired him, what on Earth would we do? It would just maybe be worse. And, that's scary. We may not even make it to the NCAA tourney. It's much better to make history than to not get in.
Hey, if you all want a coach that wins in the tourney, why not go after Oates or Self? There are not many other options that would be better than Matt. If we dont care about ethics or school or anything like that.
Here we go again with the “Painter doesnt cheat, therefore we won’t win”
Save it.
Everyone knows that the only way to win is to be unethical. How ridiculous?
With Self, the poster boy now as the best and most sucessful coach out there now, it is kind of evident.
But, you need to stop with a false equivalency. The constant screeds about being ethical is a silly talking point. We all consider that a given. Stop dragging that dead horse out as a strawman.
You all want to say get rid of Matt , cause he does not go far enough in NCAAs. I believe he has been to 6 Sweet 16's in 14 years. So I assume you must want a level , like Self has achieved. So go after him.
Shaka has not come close to achieving what Matt has in total.
You think any KU alum say “yeh, we went to another final four but we’re not happy about it because of Self’a tactics”
Shakas been to a FF, and ran Painters team off the floor in doing so.
What else has he done? Fired at Texas, had a good year this year, but not much else?????
Purdont had been placed on probation and has nonsense majors. Who are we trying to fool about this "we do it the right way" nonsense? That's just a cover for failure. Bonecrusher Williams was running around campus for how long? Give me a break. Yes, I'm an idiot and I graduated from Purdont. Proves the point, huh?
I would be that way. I would not be happy if I was an Ala alum right now and we were playing Miller. But maybe I am different than most.
Should Keady have been fired for getting the team on probation?
So again, if that is what you want, go after Self or Oates, don't go bottom of barrel hunting with other coaches.
A little smaller infraction that what Self was doing, listen to FBI tapes.
Who on earth would fire a coach after successive 29 win seasons?
Yeah, you need to stop "assuming". You're only assuming to extrapolate a false narrative. More than one thing can be true at the same time. The only person pushing Self is you. I read words and respond. I don't need to assume anything other than what is written to form a response. I feel strong enough in my position that I don't need to draw unwritten conclusions and try to assume things that don't exist to help my point.
I can’t think of a precedent - a major program winning at the clip Painter has being fired for early exits in the tourney.
Anyway, I don’t have a dog in this hunt. So I should stay out of it.
He’s done more than Painter in March . He’s a FF coach. Painter has now lost to a 13, 15 and 16 in consecutive years. Make the change.
People with expectations and now willing to settle for mediocrity when it counts.
Let me ask you a question. How many people really care about ethics? When people praise, Sampson, Self, Izzo...etc. This is strictly basketball. I might have a value for ethics, but I realize that I'm probably in the minority. When it comes to basketball.
I like Shaka but also really like Greg McDermott
Oh, I can see that. Its really sad that football schools can have March success (FL, AL) but not Purdue.
Deluded. Every team who makes the FF cheats? Even the cinderellas? FDU beat Purdue, so I guess they cheated.
Our coach’s failure to accept change is the reason we suck. If you want a Big man you must accept the zone concept from time to time. I am not talking about a strict zone just a change of pace to disrupt the other team. Would eliminate the pick and pops and our center having to guard 20 ft from the basket - which they cannot do- so the cab guard the rim and rebound
I agree, at least try it, it's another tool you have in your toolbox
