UNC went with Bill Belichick.
UCF went back to Scott Frost.
WVU went back to Rich Rod.

Purdue was the only P4 program running a sane football coaching search.

thinking about this new cfb landscape - when would a B10/SEC team ever start a non-5 star underclassman qb, if so many proven older players want to transfer up?

the best path for a 3- or 4-star qb recruit who isn't getting much $$$ is to get two solid years of numbers at a G5 and transfer up to P2.

and there are still so many ifs -

if Purdue ends up with Odom,
if Marion comes,
if they bring a handful of UNLV transfers (including lead RB Jai'Den Thomas and a handful of WRs & LBs/DBs,
if they scour the market for the right QB,
if they manufacture good line play.

but idk - Odom is a defensive guy, and Marion will almost certainly be poached after a year. it's a very specific offense - how will that sustain?
Odom is a very rah-rah guy, more than a schematic guy - can that, and a good staff, equalize the gap in this Big Ten?

on paper Odom is a tremendous get for Bobinski and Purdue - coach at multiple stops, Big 2 experience, has a history of identifying great assistant coaches, he's both a hardass and players coach, and he finished this season with his G5 team inside the Top 25.

Jeff Monken to Purdue would be cool and a fun risk, with a much higher floor than the risk Bobinski took with Walters.

doesn't seem like Sumrall, Silverfield, or Odom have much interest. it won't be a MAC guy. Matt Campbell might listen and that would be incredible.

but, to me, it's Helton.

i don't understand the apprehension to Tyson Helton from some Purdue fans at all.

HC track record, player development, playing style, coaching staff hiring success, innovation with the transfer portal, regional fit, great vibes.

perfect fit. seems like some Purdue people just want to complain.

i still want Helton at Purdue idc idc idc

(i want Purdue to hire a CEO and hire Tyson Helton and announce both on Saturday)

"fans" who pushed the off-field Walters rumors should be buried under Ross Ade and never heard from again

the more i think about it, the more i think it'll be Helton for Purdue, and i've already talked myself into it, and will be buying Homefield WKU gear in tribute for their constant flow of good coaches to West Lafayette.

the Extremely Online anger at Bobinski is odd - there were things to be annoyed about, like the "trending towards" keeping Walters story, but once the Harrell firing happened and the season continued without Bobinski's comment, it was clear.
did people really just want an early firing announcement?

to me, UNC is leagues better of a job than Purdue. yes, ACC vs B10, but UNC is a brand that will always be wanted and always be in the top half of whatever premium conference it chooses.
Campbell has earned the right to be choosy, and a job like UNC fits more than Purdue.

i think Tyson Helton is the most likely candidate for Purdue - seemingly the 2022 runner-up, has been vetted by the athletic dept, would take the job, wouldn't be as expensive staff + buyout.

but with Cignetti's football success at IU, at least try for the big swing in Chadwell.

Purdue should break the bank for Jamey Chadwell

my favorite genre of message board post

future Purdue head coach

revenge for Joe Tiller's 62-10 last gave vs IU

thinking about Chadwell cs Cignetti in the Bucket Game next year

if Purdue was going to bring Walters back no matter what, why didn't they announce it a month ago, and hire a vet offensive advisor?
if Purdue needed more information and was on the fence, and they bring Walters back, what did they see to convince their minds?

hope Walters is gone after this loss.
not bc of the record or recruiting or anything football.
just bc i still have respect for these Purdue athletic dept decision-makers, and allowing football to fall apart to this point without any comment, and think he can possibly return to any success at all.

Myles Colvin has been such a star this year

Braden Smith has these moments of brilliance, but also makes overconfidence-driven mistakes. on replay, you can see exactly what he's thinking, but execution is just a bit off.
he'll round the corner where his body reacts as fast as his mind works soon, and will take another v fun leap.

UNC is going to hire Arthur Smith instead of Jamey Chadwell and it's a hilarious mistake that Purdue should immediately take advantage of

indians in this country really have to pick a side - solidarity or power/status. and too many of us are empty vessels with no morality whatsoever. it's gross and shameful.

i'll bet anything UNC passes over Chadwell - their mistake, and Purdue should take advantage
