New coach

[dlaird8]

Who on earth would fire a coach after successive 29 win seasons?

I was joking

 

[dlaird8]

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.

And be in misery for 10-15 years?

 

[Riveting-]

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.

It doesn't look like everyone on this board considers it a given.

 

[BigRog89]

If Purdont was ethical they'd make their players declare real majors. Look at the roster. Is Jaden Ivey not an African-American because he didn't get his African-American Studies diploma last year? In my day (99) an engineer was a graduate with an engineering degree. Guess I'm an old fuddy duddy.

Should Keady have been fired for getting the team on probation?

What exactly did Keady do?

 

[Erock_94]

I think the last engineering (civil) was craig riley

 

[jdbrees922]

Also athletic wings - all we have heard is Heide is a great athlete- and yet Waddell plays ahead of Heide which tells me Matt doesn’t think much of Heide cause Waddell is not a power 5 wing

 

[clankhan]

What else has he done? Fired at Texas, had a good year this year, but not much else?????

Maybe Texas actually has standards and is part of the toughest league?

 

[BigRog89]

What exactly did Keady do?

Got the team on probation

 

[clankhan]

Oh, I can see that. It’s really sad that football schools can have March success (FL, AL) but not Purdue.

Don’t forget Michigan, Michigan state and Texas.

??? Heide is a redshirt.

Matt Keifer was a legit student. Papa Waddell. There's 3 in 35 or so years. We need to stop pretending this is a legit school that holds athletes accountable.

 

[BoilerAndy]

Got the team on probation

Exactly how?

 

[BigRog89]

Exactly how?

MAJOR rules violations

Purdue Hoops On Probation

Placed On Two Years Probation

Plenty of PU fans in misery every March anyway.

Keady didn't commit them. No one claimed he even knew about them.

You don’t think Purdue can get a better coach?

 

[crazed_hoosier2]

I was an acquaintance of Craig’s. I can attest that he was a genuinely smart dude. Good guy, too.

 

[dlaird8]

You don’t think Purdue can get a better coach?

No.

 

[crazed_hoosier2]

You don’t think Purdue can get a better coach?

I think the chances are very good Purdue would end up with a worse one if, for some stupid reason, they decided to move on from Painter.

And I have a very hard time imagining that MB is actually considering doing that. Purdue probably has the most successful MBB program in the conference since CMP was hired. If not, they’re easily in the conversation.

 

[dlaird8]

You don’t think Purdue can get a better coach?

After 10-15 years maybe

Matt Kiefer.

You don’t think Purdue can get a better coach?

Nope. If IU can end up with bozos like Crean and Archie, we would likely do even worse than they did.

 

[jdbrees922]

Heide was a redshirt cause Painter didn’t think he could or would contribute this year

 

[Boiler8285]

Here we go again with the “Painter doesnt cheat, therefore we won’t win”
Save it.

Don't forget you can't recruit in W. Lafayette. All the good athletes want to play at mid-majors in NJ.

The NCAA requires all student athletes to declare a major by the end of their 4th semester. Purdue does not have an African American Studies major. If you want, I can get a list of the majors of this year's players. NONE are African American Studies.

Don't confuse the guy with facts. He has a strawman to build.

I won't open this yearly can of worms, but Purdue does NOT have a General Studies degree program, as most other schools do.

 

[bonefish1]

Loser mentality. Happy with winning in November and getting embarrassed in March.

Purdue has plenty of major all our brainiacs in FB and BB can get a 2.0 in. It ain’t hard unless you’re Milton Wright .

 

[Schnelk]

Should Keady have been fired for getting the team on probation?

No Lin Dunn should have.

 

[Bippus33]

He could recruit the hell out of Lake County!!

How about Nate Oates , pay him and get him from Ala.?
