Can I be honest. I'm reading everyone's short lists for a new HC...Not a lot of names that get me excited. That's no disrespect to anyone's list, they are well thought out. I'm just like "Which one of these guys do i want to go to war with?" Who is the home run for Purdue?
@JaredOn1017 With very few exceptions, Tom Dienhart's list could be renamed "Hell, no!" Be bold. Use that Big Ten money and prestige to get a coach that will make people go "Purdue did that?"
@JaredOn1017 I’m no expert, but the names I’ve seen floated I could get behind (in no particular order)… -Shep -Anarumo -Leonhard -Hagen -Hartline They may or may not be the “Best”, but they at least don’t feel like a retread trying to reclaim glory. They’d all be a somewhat fresh look.
@JaredOn1017 Most disappointing list I saw was from an article in The Athletic. Rinse and repeat of head coaches. As hot as Garret Riley might be will he work at Purdue?
@JaredOn1017 Same here. Kinda depressing to see some of the names on the lists.
@JaredOn1017 Garrett Riley! Stud offensive mind! Big name and Texas roots.
