….a new guy comes on here with only 14 freakin’ posts, mentions a few possible things to create some debate/questions and you’re all upside down?!?. Gee whiz!!! SMH…..

Don't we all agree that it's highly unlikely we're going to really find out anything of real substance until the season is over?

Alright....no one has said it yet. Since we are tossing unrealistic names out. 

Back up the brinks truck and dump it in Painters yard...come make a boat load of money porkchop, and bonus...you get to live somewhere that doesn't smell like doo doo. 

Indiana should definitely do that…so he can ask for a raise and drain money from the PU program.

What's John Wooden doing nowadays?

His coaching style has become rather stiff, I think.

Welcome to coach searching season. Happens every time.   Unfortunately for Iu fans it’s like the Olympics and happens every 4 years 

Well, it does tend to keep things hopping around here...

In reality painter hasn't even been good enough to survive here imo. We would have probably had him begging to leave after his first round exit to the 16 team. Last year we would have said he just can't win the big 1 when he lost to uconn. I feel this season will end disappointing fashion for them. We would now be saying he can't win at elite level

Yet he is still more lively than Armond Hill.

Tom Crean, who most definitely would know:

”The number one requirement for (being the head coach at) a place like Indiana is that you better have been (figuratively) punched in the mouth many times in your life… and I’m not talking about dealing with a three game losing streak.”

What punches people in the mouth? 

You can't punch people in the mouth with a hand. But you can with ... 

THE FIST!

Actually, I like that idea... I actually heard it somewhere (maybe Brian Evans)... but make him a seriously over the top offer... and one of two things will happen:

• Matt Painter becomes our coach
• Purdue has to spend an exorbitant amount of money to keep him.

Both ways, we win.

Yeah, to be fair, Painter has had some rough losses to double-digit seeds in the NCAA tournament. 

Of course, IU hasn't been making the tournament, so there's that...

Phil Jackson is about as likely as some of these names being thrown around.

Honest to God, of the dozens of guys we’ve thrown who it’s not gonna be, he might be the most not gonna be.

Except for John Wooden.
