Next head coach at Purdue

[TwinDegrees2]

I was referring to the fact that you believe location matters in basketball recruiting; in which case, why isn’t Miami a basketball power? I mean, who wouldn’t want to go to college in Miami? Should be easy to recruit there. Right?
Why has Vandy completely turned around their recruiting (believe they have 2 5 stars and are a finalist for Langford) since hiring Drew when they never got a 5 star with Stallings?
Again, if location had anything to do with recruiting, no one would ever step foot in East Lansing. It’s one step above Flint.

Let's see....since Coach L arrived in Miami, they've been pretty good...ranked in the top 25 most of this year. I don't disagree that the coach is more important than location, but the location is a part of the equation too.

And I've been to Flint and East Lansing....Flint is a cesspool.

No kid is going to choose location over a coach, program, style, facilities and ability to get to the NBA. Location is way down on the priority list.
I’m 100% sure you could take Coach K, Beilin, Wright, or Cal, put them at Purdue and we’d be competing for NCs on a regular basis.
I’m not saying Painter won’t get there, but the statistics to this point aren’t in his favor.

Then take that 1st million out of your sock drawer and head to the AD's office. I'm sure with the discontent towards a 30 win coach, there would be a lot of others follow you. Offer them $5 million and any of the four would come.

 

[Purdue85]

Oh, dear lord, another one.

This is absurd.

 

[Purdue85]

When do you believe the next head coach and staff will be hired for men's hoops?

Will it be within the next year or two?

Will it be within the next five years?

Will it be within the next 10 years?

Will it be within the next 15-20 years?

Please choose one answer and stay on topic.

It'll likely be the function of something including Pi and a square root.

I do know, the next salary will be a multiple of a dollar two-eighty, and change.

All that sh*t I typed makes about as much sense as this thread.

Folks, we deserve everything we get, and then some. With one of the most successful seasons on record, and a coach that will likely SET multiple records, to see this nonsense is just . . . a travesty. It's shameful. And disappointing.

 

[Purdue85]

10+ unless another school comes knocking, in which case he'd be an idiot not to leave this delusional fan base.

THIS.

The Durham/Chapel Hill area is gorgeous....UNC campus as well as Dukes is as beautiful as any out there. Gonzaga is in Spokane and beautiful as well. I have a long time friend who's wife works in the basketball office, and though a small campus, it's very attractive. Manhatten, I've never seen...but I've always been suspicious of Bill Self as I have Izzo.

Louisville is a fun town with a great night life.

Purdue isn't going to get anyone better than Painter.

I have yet to meet a dude who looks for a "beautiful" campus.

I'm not sure there's much of a demand for metrosexual basketball players. they usually spend too much time in a gym to notice the outdoor scenery.

Purdues next head coach withh ve Ryne Smith or Dakota Mathias. It will be somewhere between 10-20 years from now.

 

[guppy likes purdue]

Give me a break....location has zero to do with recruiting. These guys don’t care about a “fun” destination. You think this is the Miami Hurricanes is the 80’s where the players are clubbin with Luther Campbell? These players do 3 things: sleep, hoop, class.
The fact that PU is located in WL Indiana has nothing to do with recruiting. If Location mattered, Miami would be a powerhouse. USC would be a powerhouse. Arizona State...want me to go on? Ever been to East Lansing, Manhattan KS?
Recruiting is the coach, the coach and the coach ( the program and the facilities also matter) but not as much as the coach. Period.

what????? come on Recruits care a lot about destination USC and Miami both recruit well above what the should based on the apathy for their program. Players also like to party and live in a prime location. MIami and USC are both prime examples of this neither gives a shit about their basketball program yet both get good recruits.

Also having a nice campus good weather pretty girls good party scene etc all contribute to atmosphere which is a pretty common reason to chose a school

I sincerely hope not. I’d like someone completely unaffiliated with the program. Need new blood.

Ha ha...I see what you did there....

Maybe the next coach will be someone from this very forum! Too much expertise wasted sitting behind a keyboard. Clearly, there are many qualified for the job.

and the best candidates would be the ones who only post after a loss . . .

IU thought they needed new blood and fired a legend. How's that worked out for them.

iu fired a legend because he didn’t think the rules applied to him and couldn’t get along with his bosses.
But, that being said, even after firing Knight, iu still got to more Final Fours with Mike Davis than Purdue has in the last 40 years.

One, I don't think you wrote that to be read the way you wanted. Mike Davis: 1FF. Purdue in 40 years: 1FF. The same. that's not something to brag about, but your point is incorrect.

Two, Where is Mike Davis now? He's the HC of the Texas Southern Tigers. In other words, that FF was not about Mike Davis, or his coaching ability. His other seasons were really failures.

Three, the goal of the NCAA tournament is to win a National Championship. Let's stop using the failures of other coaches as a club to beat our present coach over the head.

I"m not and have never complained about Painter. I support all that he does.

You want to split hairs that it’s been 38 years since our last FF....well, ok. The fact remains, 38 years is a ridiculous amount of time to have the inability to get there. Whether Davis is a good coach or not is irrelevant. He’s a Final Four coach which neither Keady or Paintrr can claim to be.

No, dude, I was specific, there was no splitting hairs!

Any rational person would have read and understood my point. You were incorrect.

Who cares if Davis was a FF coach or not? You want a higher level of failure. Right? Plus, it was YOU who brought Davis into the discussion. Now you want to abandon that comparison?

So Davis has a FF with Knight's kids....what the hell has he done on his own since? Texas Southern's way to get to the dance is asinine at best, and comic fodder at the least.

what are you...a 15 year old girl on her cellphone?

So, if it makes you feel better knowing that it's been just 38 years and not 40 since our last Final Four...fine. But the fact remains, Mike Davis, and maybe despite himself, got a team to the FF. Something Keady never did and Painter, in 14 years, hasn't even come close.

 

[MetMyWifeAtHarrys]

Painter will hand the keys over to Rob Hummel when they are both ready. (?)

NO! I specifically said it didn't matter, but I also said the original argument was W.R.O.N.G.

And it was.

Let it go.

Ha ha. You’re still hung up on the fact that it’s only been 38 years, because hell, if we hadn’t been to a FF in 40 years, that would be REALLY bad.
Mike Davis is still looking at that little piece of net hanging in his office.

Dude, you're trolling now.

You're the one obsessed that I pointed out something blatantly wrong. Here is exactly what I wrote:

You.
Were.
Wrong.

You lied in an effort to make someone else look good, and Painter/Purdue look bad.

You got egg all over your face.

Let it go. You're making yourself look foolish.

Again.

Like I said, if it makes you feel better knowing that Purdue has as many FF's as Mike Davis in the last 38 years, then go ahead and feel that way. But, Purdue's was in 1980 (38 years ago), iu's was in 2002. Does it also make you feel better that Painter has reached 3 Sweet 16's in his 14 years at Purdue? Has Painter shown anything in all his tournament appearances to make you believe that he's a good tourney coach or has he just not had players that play well in the tourney? Maybe he's just been unlucky?

His back is so screwed up he can't sit in a chair more than a few minutes . He got messed up by a hack back surgeon

Like you said, you lied.

And you were called on it.

You can trash the program all you like, but when you lie to make your argument look better, that makes you a liar.

Admit you were wrong.

You said you would.

Ok, here it is: I was wrong. It’s been 38 years since Purdue was in the Final Four, not 40 years. I apologize for my blatant and utterly blatant misrepresentation of the facts which in this case, are not subject to debate as the dates are definitive.

I thought this when Rob left the pros but he's b quickly making a name as a talking head. Depends if he has the coaching burn or just wants to be around BB.
I see Dakota as a strong candidate for a coaching career from the current team. If he only plays in Europe for a couple of years or decides to jump more quickly he could spend 10-15 years perfecting his craft and be at the right age to return if successful and if/when Matt decides to ride off.
