Hooray, he has a history of bad hires :) On the flip side, at Xavier (98-13) he hired Thad Matta from Butler and promoted Sean Miller and Chris Mack to head coach. BUT... it seems that the athletic department staff and supporters of Tech weren't sad to see him go. Georgia Tech was dysfunction junction under Bobinski http://www.myajc.com/news/sports/college/georgia-tech-was-dysfunction-junction-under-bobins/nsCmC/ These two lines are telling... " Bobinski accepted the athletic director’s job at Purdue. The only smiles bigger than those at Purdue are those at Tech" " Bobinski may have done a fine job at Akron and Xavier but he seemed overmatched at a school with football in a major conference."

TheWatShot Posted October 16, 2016 Posted October 16, 2016 I wish I could find the posts on the old IU forums where stlboiler was thrilled with the hire and made post after post trying to convince us that Hazell was going to turn them around. Quote

Josh Posted October 16, 2016 Posted October 16, 2016 Purdue fans are tired of being mediocre or worse in sports. This new AD needs to make a home run hire to excite the fanbase. I'd hire a Purdoo guy, somebody they can all rally behind. If they can get a guy with NFL experience too, it would really help. Maybe a guy like Ryan Grigson?

Parakeet Jones Posted October 16, 2016 Posted October 16, 2016 Some folks I know through my wife's family from Baton Rouge seem to think PUke is where Les Miles ends up. I don't think they realize PUke won't be able to afford him. He honestly wouldn't scare me there. He underachieved with 5* talent at LSU, he wouldn't do any better with 3* talent at PU.Sent from my LG-D850 using BtownBanners mobile app Quote

Could PU double (maybe triple) the head coaching salary and more than double to cost for top coordinators? LIHoosier 1 Quote
HoosierAloha Posted October 17, 2016 Posted October 17, 2016 Not sure pu would have to pay him a lot of money as his LSU contract would pay the difference. I don't see Miles in West Laffy though. Quote
Brass Cannon Posted October 17, 2016 Posted October 17, 2016 Miles isn't going to Purdue. Coaches care about facilities too. Not just athletes. HoosierAloha 1 Quote

I truly see pUKe throwing all that cash towards Miles, will not be surprised one bit to see him there next year. Quote

8bucks Posted October 17, 2016 Posted October 17, 2016 LSU to puke? I don't see it. Miles will go to a bigger program - he got fired for not winning enough. He still won a lot. Now NDs Kelly - that may be possible and may still be a big hire HoosierAloha 1 Quote

That would suck. I doubt he'd go though their facilities are crap recruiting is going to be so difficult . Better to bide his time for a better job. ThompsonHoosier 1 Quote

southsidehoosier Posted October 17, 2016 Posted October 17, 2016 I heard one of the commentators state his dream job was to be a DC in the B1G. Hopefully that stays true and he likes being close to home.Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners hsrtxp 1 Quote

Hopefully that buys us some time with Coach Allen. There's no doubt Coach Allen will be a head coach some day. I just hope he holds out for a position much better than Purdoo.
