Unlike me, nobody accuses you of being an IU troll. But I want my grandpa to see a Purdue FF before he dies and it is really beyond belief that others don't have a sense of urgency. In the business field we have metrics that need to be met and "metrics of failure". We have met the metric of failure for so many years now, I don't understand what the "metric for failure" is for some of these posters.
They’re very afraid Of change. They believe that Purdue can’t do any better than Painter.
I honestly think they were just happy to batter lil Arch. But now we can't even beat Sleepy Mike (1-3?!).
How many of the Keady coaching tree have been to a FF? Definition of insanity. Our athletic department is the definition of mediocre.
I like this a lot. I have been clear that CMP needs to go. But at the end of the day he gives an amazing presser 99% of the time, knows the game (outside of the in-game alterations), is well respected, and is well connected on the national level.
It's also a way for him to "stick around" in a way that respects his contributions to the program while giving us an opportunity to finally get to the next level - like most of our neighbors (OSU, Butler, MSU, Michigan, etc.).
We have large enough of a sample size now to know that we have regressed to our mean. The Carsen year was a massive outlier.
Painter’s biggest issue IMO is his refusal to use NIL in recruiting.
Come tourney time rinse and repeat.
Ultimate loser mentality. It’s Purdue’s cancer.
Who said they won’t do better than Painter as a coach? You act like the man is John Wooden.
Loser mentality. “This is the best we can ever do so why risk it”
If this loss doesn't change minds, then absolutely nothing ever will. That is a record that will likely never be matched ever again. Will a 1 seed ever again lose to a play in team? A play in team? This takes the cake. We've all had to deal with being the butt of jokes. This will never be lived down by Painter.
NIL just showed up. Not using the NIL is just further validation of Painter’s stubborn mentality and inability to understand today’s game.
Can’t wait for next season when we cake walk through an overrated Big Ten conference, get a 3 seed, and then lose to a 14 so we can lose to 13-14-15-16 seeds in four years.
good post need to recruit some athletic guys, too many stand aounds that can't create.
There was a stretch in the late 70's and early 80's that was pretty good. I think best 5 years ever is a stretch.
In Painters 18 years, how many of those has he recruited? He’s had 2-3, NBA caliber guards in 18 years.
Purdue has a long history of hiring winning coaches. To act like painter is irreplaceable is dead wrong. History suggests that we would in fact hire another winner. If I’m correct, the 2 coaches before gene and Matt both made a final four. So quit saying we can’t do better, that’s a flat out lie.
As far as I know, we are indeed using NIL to recruit, quite generously. ...and we are staying somewhat within the guidelines of the NCAA (which Miami did not). Not sure what your point is.
Other poster was using NIL as the latest excuse for CMP’s tourney ineptitude. It’s sad listening to national pundits use CMP as a punchline. I guess it’s positive that it more about the coach than the school right now.
Who was in charge of Purdue University's athletic decisions from 1966 to 1980?
He was NPOY, of course he gets premium $$, no one else will be in this neighborhood.
