Boiler Sam

He’s built relationships with Shrews, Woody, Paint, and Izzo. IU gets rid of Woody and his staff and bring in a guy that he doesn’t know, he’s not going to IU, especially if he’s committing this summer. Not enough time between April and July to catch up with the relationships the other 3 staffs have.

Exactly.

If you fire Woody, there’s probably only one coach you could hire that could get him to IU…

Probably the same reason Scott Boras has his clients wait as long as possible to pick a team…to extract every last dollar.

Supposedly what he likes about Purdue is the exact opposite of playing with a rotating cast of random portal guys. But he also supposedly preferred IU, all else being equal. so who knows…he’ll probably sign with the little scumbag up north…

I’m not against drafting a CB in round 1, IF that is BPA. when you have to draft for need, that’s how you end up reaching for guys like Ya Sin, Banogu, Turay, Quincy Wilson, etc.

Here’s the thing : Ballard NEVER addresses ALL of the pressing needs in free agency, so he ends up drafting for need in the first few rounds, instead of taking BPA. If he can address corner and WR in FA, then he can take BPA, aka Bowers.

Penix screams backup to me, in this era. Gotta be able to extend plays and make throws off script. Which is why AR 15 could be great, if they quit design-running him and getting him hurt. And HE needs to do a better job of running to AVOID hits, not running to TAKE hits. this mock has colts getting the top corner in the draft, and the bears getting Caleb and Odunze: https://www.nfl.com/news/daniel-jeremiah-2024-nfl-mock-draft-2-0-four-quarterbacks-selected-in-first-eight-picks Like it for both teams.

….Penny…Stackhouse…. Eddie Jordan….

You guys get your Woodson bingo cards made yet ? This reminds me of the Darrell Hazell-isms we endured for 4 LOOOONG years… ”We’ll need to go back and take a hard look at the tape”. “These were correctable errors and we’ll get them fixed.” “We did a lot of good things today.”

Not to speak ill of the dead, but that was a different administration. Tiller and Keady couldn’t stand him either…

Painter wouldn’t go to IU now, but he damn sure would have in ‘89.

Purdue isn’t spending $8 million on a basketball coach anytime soon. There simply isn’t the ROI when you are selling out the season paying $4 million a year. But if IU was willing to pay Self/Cal/Coach K type money they could get one of those guys IMO.

With the new B1G TV money, they should be able to outbid any non SEC/B1G school…so Shaka, Lloyd, Drew, even Bennett could be candidates if they are willing to double their salary.

What about Scott Drew? Can’t imagine Baylor would want to spend $7-8 million on a basketball coach.

I’m glad IU didn’t get Holtmann. He would have been better than Archie or Woody at IU.

Will this speed up Juwan’s inevitable demise at Michigan?

Yep. And Cal has used that ploy several times as well.

IU plays more physical defense under Woodson than Purdue has in the last 5-8 years. Painter’s first analytics guy told him putting the other team in the bonus and then double bonus was no bueno.

And like with Mike Hopkins at Syracuse until Boeheim decided to coach till he was 80…

lots of good candidates here tho.

Beer sales for one Ohio State home football schedule.

Should have kept Matta.

He’s like that Eddie Haskell type kid you went to high school with… total phony.

That’s where the Fife coach in waiting scenario was going to come into play, right ?
