They should be happy. They are knocking on the door. Could be way worse and Urban Meyer doesn’t have much time left.

Could be way worse but I dont think much else matters if you cant beat OSU

Auburn reportedly has talked to Bob Stoops about the head coach position. $32 million buyout on Malzahns contract.

[biteoftheapple 4,115]

I doubt Auburn replaces him at this buyout number.

Can IU hire Malzahn please?

Wait I thought you wanted IU to hire John Harbaugh?

Ohio State now needs a Georgia AND Oklahoma loss to be in the playoff.

I agree but could very well happen

According to the Indy Star, Brohm has turned down Louisvilles offer today.

Hope our fanbase enjoyed the 4 year run of winning the Bucket. Probably going to be a long time before we see it again.

[Hoosierfan2017 21,511]

But I was told you don't hire the up and coming coach because he'll use you as a stepping stone. Oh well, we were only a few trash can kicks away from a bowl game. 

[WayneFleekHoosier 48,454]

Wow. Big time Wow. I honestly can’t even believe it.

Good for Purdue. Maybe I should be a reversible jacket fan. Lol.

The cynic in me said he would stay. There was no way we'd get that lucky.

We could only ever get 6-6 with a poorly ran Purdue. Wow are we screwed.

Meanwhile we're stuck with a coordinator as coach, but at least he won't go anywhere since he's not wanted anywhere.  That bucket is gonna get a lot more Ps on it.

[TheWatShot 14,066]

Were some of you really that convinced he would leave? I always saw more evidence he would stay than go to Louisville. Again, maybe that was the cynic in me, but was Louisville really a step up?

He grew up there, played there and was an assistant there. I'm guessing for most, that made it a natural fit. But home is where you hang your hat. ... I know Knight turned down Ohio State when he was at IU and many coaches have either spurned or left their alma maters (Rich Rod/WVU in football; Les Miles/Michigan in football; Darrin Horn/WKU in hoops), so going home or being home isn't always the best fit. 

Oh, one big one I forgot: Alford spurned IU (after IU spurned him, however) LOL!

Same here. Consider that Purdue is in the weaker side of the BT they have a good chance to build a contender on that side of the bracket annually. I would argue that helps make Purdue the better job.

All this is true. But Louisville is the better place to live.

That’s huge for Purdue. Didn’t see that coming.

Thanks to Jeff Goodman, we are reminded that Trollkich is 0-fer-2

Purdue is paying him over $5 million a year now.
