Middle aged, no head coaching experience, and a last name that will make Purdue fans gag. Who said we couldn't have a little fun this week?
2016 Purdue Football Coaching Search: Mike Sanford Jr
Notre Dame's current OC Mike Sanford was, until this disastrous season, a rising star among Midwest assistant coaches. He'll certainly get a Purdue look.
2016 Purdue Football Coaching Search: Bryan Harsin
Yeah, we know Harsin's probably not coming. But he's awesome, and this is our website, so we get to write about who we want.

A retired professional quarterback, an offensive guru, and a rising star in the coaching ranks, Jeff Brohm claims BS' top spot on the 2016 Purdue coach wishlist.
2016 Purdue Football Coaching Search Favorites: (Co-)#1 Bo Pelini
A long track record of Big Ten success, the only funny parody Twitter account still surviving, and extremely available to steamroll Nebraska every year; Bo Pelini is BS' co-#1 despite being an insane person.

R O W. T H E. B O A T.
2016 Purdue Football Coaching Search Favorites: #4 Chris Klieman
A two-time FCS champion and Destroyer of Worlds, Chris Klieman is a rising name among the college football ranks and will almost certainly move to an FBS job soon. Could it be 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.
2016 Purdue Football Coaching Search Favorites: #6 Lincoln Riley
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.
But Who Is Coaching Right Now? GERAD PARKER, THAT’S WHO!
Hey, some of you wanted a young coach. So here you go, for the next six games you get 35 year old Gerad Parker.
2016 Purdue Football Coaching Search Favorites: Bob Diaco

2016 Purdue Football Coaching Search: Ken Niumatalolo
He wears a lei while coaching. Count us in.
2016 Purdue Football Coaching Search: Randy Edsall
On one hand, he basically invented modern UConn football. On the other hand, Maryland didn't turn out so well.
2016 Purdue Football Coaching Search: Mark Stoops
The definition of a "meh, ok I guess" hire, Mark Stoops might want to leave Kentucky before he wears out his welcome.
2016 Purdue Football Coaching Search: Greg Schiano
Is OSU OC a better job than Purdue HC? Yeah, probably. J Money and Boilerdowd navigate the treacherous terrain that is Greg Schiano.
2016 Purdue Football Coaching Search: Gene Chizik
The man who road Cam Newton's cape-tails to a championship will get another head coaching shot soon. Should West Lafayette be his destination?
2016 Purdue Football Coaching Search: Ed Orgeron
Ed "Grits N Grind" Orgeron is a perfect human.
2016 Purdue Football Coaching Search: Doc Holliday
Old, grumpy, stubborn, nuclear passing offense...something like that worked for Purdue once before.
2016 Purdue Football Coaching Search: Chuck Pagano
If Pagano has run out of chances with the Colts, would he return to the collegiate ranks?
2016 Purdue Football Coaching Search: Bud Foster
After 29 years at Virginia Tech, plus being passed over as Frank Beamer's replacement, does Bud want a change of scenery?
