Stretch Candidates

This is the list of coaches, in the BS Braintrust's opinion, that are unbelievably unrealistic to expect at Purdue (no matter what you hear on the interwebs). Though these are all "stretch" candidates, noteworthy absences include guys like...*ahem* Tom Herman, for example. We included stretches such as Les Miles (currently unemployed, perhaps looking for a reclamation project) and Kevin Sumlin (Purdue guy, actually coached at Purdue in our lifetimes) because you can find a universe in which them being Purdue’s coach actually makes sense. We didn’t include guys like Herman because he’s as likely to coach Purdue as Nick Saban. (Herman, by the way, has been pay-bumped to $3M at Houston, is 18-1 as a HC and will probably be coaching Texas next year and making $6-7M.)
