Whoever gets hired, do they have to show up at the spring football game and say, “Purdue sucks!  But so does Michigan and Ohio State!”

Let's see. Luke Murray can either

1. Move on to a coveted head coaching job, or
2. He could leave his assistant job at the best program in the country for a lesser assistant job...

This is a tough one.

2 all day long. He has to make a name for himself or it will always be said that he rode Hurley's coattails

Would obviously love Luke Murray as an assistant but yeah... gotta think he's going to bide his time for a head coaching job. He'd have to be a top tier candidate for any Big East job that opens given his time at Xavier and UConn (Nova in a year?)

We'd probably have to offer Murray $1M+ to even get him to think about it. He's making $750K at UConn.

Assuming he doesn't take a HC job somewhere, of course.

Could be anything 

I interpret these posts as: I know nothing, I want attention, and/or I have read the same rumors as you but I’m going to pose it as some quasi mysterious theme to give the impression I have some secret information

No, they say, "Purdue, Michigan, and Ohio State sucks, but so does Dunkin and Fenway Park!"

He's also born and raised in the Connecticut area too. Went to high school and college in Connecticut, and spent a few years coaching elsewhere in the state too.

I'd have to think that's worth an extra $250K to him but I could be wrong.

He was on the Women's page happily chatting/watching our Lady hoosiers getting a solid win (despite the meh refs)

As a Colts lifer with an in law who was born, raised, and still lives in Boston, I don't even recognize that name. It's caused too much pain in my lifetime lol

Well that would be a grand slam, epic home run of unimaginably wonderful proportions.

Let's hope this rumor has legs.

I’d consider it legging out a triple.

Drew would have been an inside-the-park HR, yeah I can get down with TJ O as a triple.... a leadoff triple when the games tied in the 9th, but yeah, a triple.

I think the Wizard of Otz can be successful at IU...

[lillurk 4,507]

If you think of hires as parallels of past ones, we’ve made the various Stevens comparisons: Cal to UK, Pitino to UL.

I think CrimsonCast made the best comparison I can think of for Otz: it’s roughly Self to Kansas. Established coach who’s done well at a good program moving to a blue blood.
