Our next Coach should be...

[ghostoffatjack]

My thoughts, Herman might just stay where he is at "IF" Houston is invited to join the BIG 12, Baylor's Ex Coach is still a no in my book. Unless A&M flops to less than 9 wins Sumlin may not be going anywhere either.

Doing the math of Ross-Ade and a full house of 62,500 for six home games at $25 per ticket generates almost $9.5 million and that is not counting ANY of the parking, programs, concessions, souvenirs, etc so PURDUE can spend what it takes to get a proven veteran Head Coach "IF" they decide they want one! Will they, probably not but one has to wonder if they put $10 mil on the table for a Saban or Saban type would they turn it down!

Realistically PURDUE will probably not BUT WE COULD financially. Look at some of the OC's such as Applewhite, Gilbert, etc, who throw/run outstanding offenses as another option!

I would say my list has definitely changed after this week:

Dave Aranda wouldn't be a bad hire but need to see what he does the rest of the year at LSU. His defenses have always been incredibly tough and led Whisky's defenses to being some of the best in college football.

I also wouldn't mind a Greg Schiano hire. I wouldn't mind a coach who is a known hardass. I would like to think the last tough nosed coach was pretty successful in Gene Keady. Seeing a coach with a pulse on the sideline would be a welcome change.

Art Briles still should be option 1, 2, & 3, imo. Brings a high powered offense that he was able to clearly adapt to his personnel shown in the schematic differences between Griffin and Petty. I think if you put some things in place and become proactive instead of reactionary for the apparent shortcomings at Baylor, he will be fine. Outside of the apparent miscommunication of the transfer (from Washington or Boise St), I don't think the kids in question have had known issues before getting to Baylor. Do you think Stanford would have brought in Brock Turner if he has a dropped rape charge while in high school? What it appears to me is admins protecting their golden goose and running interference.

If one of those three ends up being successful, they will more than likely jump ship...which wouldn't be a bad thing. At that point, you would have a much bigger pool to cast a net to grab a know commodity to replace.

Serious question...would anyone be against Lane Kiffin?

Arty briles-
there were a dozen listed in the old thread with various issues that they still recruited/kept on the team.
But even on the other side of the argument, is that not even worse that their team culture would produce such consistent scandals after a player arrived?
Either way I try to look at, it appears quite negative for him.
His little NFL tour and constant media talk of not being aware of anything wrong, taking zero ownership, seemed like he is also unaware about being a prudent PR guy (face of a future program)

If AB was at Purdue and successful - I imagine he would leave for retirement rather than a top program seeking a coach at his age

Kiffin-
If it's true exact opposites attract

Steve Sarkesian ?

Steve Sarkesian ?

I think he was brought in to Alabama because he and Kiffin are similar style OC's and Kiffin has expressed to Nick Saban he is going to actively look at HC jobs.

Kiffin has a rep as a recruiter, but then again, he's only been at USC, Alabama, and Tennessee, so who knows how well he would do at Purdue

Young, energetic, and innovative enough to scheme to his players. He would be one I would welcome to Purdue openly and without thinking the AD left something on the table.

Nice posts btw.

Good post by the way. Young, energetic, and innovative enough to scheme to his players. He would be one I would welcome to Purdue openly and without thinking the AD left something on the table.

I would take kiffin for the recruiting boost alone. Contacts and relationships built at Bama, USC and Tennessee should pay dividends, even if only for their leftovers - kids they looked at but never offered. I also think he would be willing to come to Purdue for a shot at being a successful HC because, well, let's face it, our expectations have been sufficiently managed for some time now. There is no "hot" seat here, like there is at USC.

 

[Summy1]

If the new coach wins 6 games in their first year they would be considered a hero. Expectations aren't too high here which would be a good thing for a new coach.

No .the last coach that won 6 got fired. We need a Tiller like first year to help recruiting

 

[SIBoiler2]

Herman is out of our league if Houston goes Big 12. Saw on FoxSports that his $3M salary goes to $5.5M in year one in any P5 conference and $8M in year 2.

 

[boiler2288]

Some posters are unrealistic re; possible candidates in event of DH departure come Nov. Gruden, Herman, Sumlin, Briles, Kiffin likely will not even take our phone call. I doubt we go back to the well pit of the MAC for another HC after the Hazell fiasco either-at least not for awhile. Current "name" HC's coming off poor seasons are also problematic. In Nov 2012 our "unofficial search commitee" or recruiting consultants targeted Sarkasian@ Wash, Cutcliffe @ Duke, Jones@Cinc. & Chryst @ WI- Cutcliff/Sark-did not respond to inquiry. Only Jones visited-and declined a solid offer -Chryst flat rejected interview request. Hazell jumped at opportunity.

My opinion is target a qualified young Offensive Coordinator such as, Kurt Roper @SC, Rhett Lashlee, Aub, or even up/coming HC like Mike Norvell @ Memphis-or Chad Morris @ SMU---but he must be an innovative offensive mind-recruiting success can come later on, with renewed interest in the program and explosive passing scheme-plenty of other examples out there that fit this criteria as well.

Briles I think would take our call. Don't know how many colleges would want to be associated with the Baylor problems. He may take the first job that calls.

And Chad Morris is the HC of SMU, not the OC.

 

[ahhculdee]

I wish we would have got Dino Babers last season. Syracuse will be turning around soon.

 

[Summy1]

Come on man, admit you would be happy with a six win season to start off. If Purdue won six games and was competitive in all the others, that would be a great start. Light years away from were they are now.

Roper was born in Iowa and has a ton of experience maybe he would like to coach in the Big!

I disagree about the MAC lot of great coaches have come out of there, BG urban meyer, dino barber, miami has had the most for sure from bo the ara Northern illinois Kill,toledo with saban and picknell, and so on. I think to evaluate a conferences coach after our selection committee mistakingly hired a coach after one year of coaching there does not do justice on the conference it just highlights the ineptitude of our selection committee. Im not against hiring a OC but we can't be wrong again!! Mike Sanford of ND would be a great candidate too!! My money has always been on PJ Fleck he is the guy for our program.

 

[BoilerBiker]

For briles fans- he has now made a 180 turn from a few weeks ago/summer.
After hiring a new agent, he has taken new media interviews, and is changing his tune from before by apologizing and admitting that he made mistakes.

 

[Heiner]

Steve Sarkisian?

 

[Boiler8285]

UCF gets snubbed for the Big12. Go after Frost, he has Midwest ties. We are not going to get a name. Get an energetic up and comer.

 

[buygreekbonds]

My wish list would be (note that some are highly improbable):
1. Drew Brees (he's 37 yrs old)
2. Tom Herman
3. Greg Schiano
4. Temple coach Matt Rhule

I don't disagree. The MAC has always had a great reputation for developing quality coaches but I doubt the PU search committee will target a MAC guy again so soon after hiring Hazell- "Bad Optics"

Can we please shelf the screen pass to jones?!

 

[TheRealDeal73]

Bring back Brock spack who should have got the job in the first place. Don't know if I spelled his name right

 

[TheRealDeal73]

Defensive coordinator for Joe Tiller

 

[boiler2288]

After this years Nebraska game when they will put a 62-7 whomp on us (dont you think they have this game circled for revenge?) and we stand at 1-6, I think Bobinski will fire Hazell on sunday and ask Tiller to be interim HC until end of season. Tiller might accept on an "interim basis" I would guess? He could park his RV at south gate of Ross Ade for free

 

[purduefb15]

I dont know if anyone brought if up yet, but what about Greg Olson?

I wanted Olson four years ago, but was told that it would never happen because of Morgue.

 

[uncleboiler]

Our next Coach should be......ME.
I think I could win 2 games and I only would take $200,000 per year....a win for Purdue and a win for me!
Call me at 1-800-PU2-Wins

Guys lets be realistic here, no matter who our AD is this is Purdue football. We aren't getting Herman, Charlie Strong,Les Miles and we sure as hell don't have a chance at Jon Gruden. I'm not on the Spack bandwagon even though he has done good things in a VERY good MVC. I'd rather keep on losing than have a piece of trash like Briles bring corruption o the program. I'm tired of us going after MAC coaches but we have to be real instead of drinking the Kool Aid. Who's honestly realistic? Most SEC coordinators make more than our HC ever will at Purdue.

Craig Bohl, Wyoming

Bohl went 104-32 in 11 years at North Dakota State, which included three consecutive FCS national championships from 2011-13.

Scott Satterfield, Appalachian State

App State won 11 games last season and nearly went into Neyland and beat Tennessee this year.

Bobby Wilder, Old Dominion

Thanks to Wilder’s coaching, Old Dominion has been on a fast rise through the college football ranks. The Monarchs restarted their football program after a 69-year absence in 2009. Old Dominion went 17-5 in its first two seasons and played in the FCS playoffs in 2011-12 with double-digit wins in both years. The program transitioned from the FCS ranks to the FBS level and went 6-6 in its debut last season. Wilder also runs a high-powered offense.

 

[Cevol03]

I watched a couple Tulsa games last year and was impressed with Phillip Montgomery

 

[goodboiler]

W e will never let DH go before the season is over ...Not the Purdue way. but when its over lets be the first guy at Fleck's door. Get a plan together now, be prepared to offer him a package he can't say no to. He will turn our program around and do it the correct way recruiting, great staff and is competent x's and o's

He has a 4 year track record of how to get it done Let's see how we handle it when we are 1-7. Nevada will beat our rear ends if we play like we did against Cincy. Don't be surprised if we are 1-2 after that game

Best guy out there who is a proven recruiter and a proven game coach is tOSU asst HC and DC Greg Schiano. In eleven years at Rutgers, he took them to bowl games in six of his last seven seasons. His first four years were 12-34 (.26) and his last seven were 56-33 (.62).

Urban Meyer extols Schiano's "great passion for the game". Schiano has been face-to-face with hundreds of HS football coaches in NJ, PA, NY and OH. Schiano recruited with a helicopter at Rutgers. He has absolute insider information about who Ohio State is recruiting for 2017, 2018 and 2019. And Purdue could probably double or triple his salary at tOSU.
