That dude can coach and is 100 miles away...how did MU manage to eff this up?

It was previously reported by those with Purdue ties that Martin was in the loop on the Painter/Purdue negotiations and was basically the guy if Painter left.

What does that say about MUs chances on Painter....

I still haven't heard anyone say that MU/Painter discussion is legit. It seems like everyone started talking about Painter the day that Holthus mentioned Painter as a guy MU should try to talk to. Haven't heard or read anywhere that they actually were trying to talk to him or had talked to him.

Mike DeArmond is about 3 brain cells north of vegetable status. He is just getting MU fan excited so they'll go after Alden and give Mike D something to write about until the Star folds and he's using his SS checks to buy cheap vodka.

Why would Painter want to leave Purdue? I can't think of anything that would be better at Mizzou (aside from $, maybe). This makes zero sense.

See how underwhelming this hire feels? That's why UT should've tempered expectations and never let names like Dixon and Stevens get floated.

holthus & others aren't just idly speculating. his name was being leaked. obvious agent tactic. only question is if he is really willing to go to mu if purdue doesn't pay.

I'm interested to see how this turns out at Tenn.

would have been underwhelming even if they floated Jim Wooldridge. Good hire, though. Crazy how little star power there is in the SEC and ACC w/ coaches outside the very top..

I hear it's rejection city (again) for NC State out on the new coach trail.

That would be a very good job except for one thing . . . the ridiculous demands by NC State folks that the clock be rolled back to the 70's thru the Mid 80's and that NC State was on an even footing with Duke and UNC like back then.

No coach wants a job where the fanbase has completely unrealistic expectations.

In the SEC there's only 1.5 basketball schools, but I think some of those jobs would be more enticing because if you were pretty successful you could Rick Barnes the hell out of them.

Quote from: GPTard on why Painter wouldn't be a great hire

I don't categorize Purdue as winning at the highest level or playing in a major conference.

catzacker · « **Reply #14 on:** March 28, 2011, 09:50:01 AM »

wow. MU might actually do something right/good. Painter would be a moron if he didn't leave should Purdue not want to pony up add'l money. And purdue would be f'ing stupid not too. Maybe not 2M but they can bump it up 400-500K or so.

jfc, if Purdue loses a rough ridin' ALUM coach to Mizz. Someone should be fired.

michigancat · « **Reply #18 on:** March 28, 2011, 10:13:51 AM »

I can't think of any possible way Mizzou is a better job than Purdue. Other than around $700k. But even then I think it would be close.

they seem kind of righteous. like the kind of school that says they have morals and standards and everyting and won't pay that much for a coach. i dunno.

local/regional population trumps your negatives by far.

mo and in are both ca. 6 million. i don't buy the canard that st. louis is too far from/doesn't care about mu.

I'm thinking Chicago/Detroit/Cincinnati more than Indiana population. I mean Chicago is only 2 hours away for Purdue vs. St. Louis and KC being two hours away for Mizzou. I mean seriously.
