The Boilermakers head to Lincoln this weekend to play in the 3:30 time slot in Gerad Parker's first game as interim head coach and following last year's beatdown of the children of the corn in West Lafayette. It's time to get CRUNK!
All in 2016
Willie Taggart has rebuilt two programs, has a dynamic offensive system, is young, and has lengthy Midwest connections. He'd be a home-run hire for Purdue.
Lou's kid Skip has been a head coach for a lot longer than you think he has. Does Little Holtz have the right resume for Purdue? (Nah.)
I'm buying all the Scottie Montgomery stock I can get my hands on, because even though he's barely got any HC experience I'd bet on him being a very good high major coach.
Appalachian State's head coach needs a few more years before a high major offer rolls around, but he's definitely on the right path.
Scott Frost will not be Purdue's next head coach. But we love him and are fascinated by him and he already wears black and gold, so why not write about him?
Baylor's old OC and Tulsa's current HC is considered an eventual high-major head coaching candidate. Does he own a winter coat?
The former CEO of TD Ameritrade is now a football head coach. Seriously, this guy is pretty much living the dream.
He's a brilliant offensive mind, and is approaching the crossroads of being a permanent OC or taking a lower level coaching job. Would he be a good fit at Purdue?
Do you want an innovative coach, respected by everyone in the business and frequently cited as the most creative mind in college football? Looking for Joe Tiller 2.0? Bob Stitt might be the coach for you.
We know Riley (probably) won't come to Purdue. But the 33 year old rising star is an offensive genius, and should be on every Power 5 coaching shortlist.
Diaco fits the description of a "typical Morgan Burke-era hire" like a glove. Notre Dame and Midwest ties, D1 head coaching experience, and super weird quotes made Michael and Boilerdowd dive into his resume.
