Does Matt Painter have a future at Purdue.
- Thread starter bbncal02
- Start date
I guess for the 2 UK fans that wanted him I heard 1 of them has taken him off their list.
It's Purdue, who cares?
I mean I might be wrong here because it's Purdue and I don't follow them but were they reaching these heights consistently before?
Might as well stick with Painter.

He's a lifer at Purdue, been there since 2005-06. Just making the NCAA Tournament and an occasional season flirting with 30 wins is the standard there.
He's doing more than gene keady did already. He's one of theirs. He will be a lifer. He just needs to be a thorn in IU's back and he is perfect for that job. Had a great big this yr with slow guards. Caught up to them.
He will be fine, I don’t know why he can’t do well in the tournament. He had a team capable this year.
Painter graduated from Purdue had a great year until yesterday I don't think he not going anyplace.
Purdue has some fans making noise. So far they have been drowned out by the pumpers
That was a very good team. Unreal.

Purdue lacks athleticism and it was evident all year. Look no further than late in the game when Opie dude was going up for a layup....shot sent 4 rows deep and FDU guy was armpit high on backboard.
You cannot win without a few elite athletes. Purdue has none. Would have been a great team in the 50's.

He still has one more NCAAT win than Cal does the past 3 seasons for a lot less money. Let that sink in.
They coach very similar. Won’t play zone, let opponents dictate game, don’t make adjustments.
Cow can tie him with a win tomorrow.
Having a great year until yesterday might play at Purdue, but think of Cal had don't that this year...

He'll last for a while because none of their fans feel that it's their birthright to win every game. Too many other fan bases would gather the torches and pitchforks and demand the coach and AD be fired immediately. But at Purdue they'll be disappointed for a weekend, then accept the defeat and start looking forward to next season. They'll understand that the nature of sport is that the better team is not guaranteed a victory.
And he still has one more NCAAT win than Cow the past 3 seasons.
Jean Keady (spl) I remember was pretty solid there. Believe he made 2 final fours.
Why don’t you go be a shitty purduenfan then since this is what you expect at a blue blood and it’s not happening? You are one soft dude.
Here come the cowboys. Run’m out.
His job is safe, IMO.
It's actually quite amazing how comparable he and Cal are in their approach to the game.
Thus, Purdue can keep him.

Already heard people I know say things like he "graduates his players," "does things the right way," and "is a man of integrity." These are common B1G justifications for underperforming in athletics.
I honestly don't think his job will ever be in jeopardy.

Gene Keady made 2 elite 8's at Purdue, that was his high mark there. Seems like more often than not, he'd lose in the first or second round. He went to the 2nd weekend of the tournament 5 times the entire time he was at Purdue.
I think so. Sucks that they lost, but they have been a high seed 3 years now. But the pressure is on.
