Too biased?

admittedly I'm biased, but I honestly think the Purdue job is attractive.

1) in the b10. The best conference over the past 3years and traditionally as well. Stable as opposed to b12.
2) in the b10 west, so you have to go through Wisconsin and Nebraska. Not easy, but nowhere near as daunting as Michigan, osu, and psu.
3) expectations are not high. You win 9 games a year at lsu, Texas, Michigan, Nebraska...you're fired. You win 8 games a year here, you're a legend.
4) kind of piggybacks on the last point, but the cubs were able to sell players on how winning a championship in Chicago means a lot more than, say, St. Louis. Same thing with Purdue and the rose bowl.

Am I crazy? I honestly believe it's a better job than baylor and Houston.

I think it is too, but apparently anyone worth hiring doesn't and that's all that matters. I need to start drinking heavily as my hope of turning it back around is just about gone.

Hell we even got a re-tread AD. They needed to get someone young like Foley when he came in and turned around Florida.

All of that is nice if you at least are inheriting Some talent so you can win a few games & stick around long enough for what you mentioned to matter. Thanks to Hazell, however, the new coach has nothing to work with...

Better than Baylor due to sanctions, but no way better job than Houston. Texas is a recruiting hotbed and look at previous Houston coaches. All took that job and landed a nice P5 job.
