I wanna look over there...With all of the coaching changes happening around the nation, it's not surprising that everyone is affected in some way...but we're now hearing that even Matty might be shopping a bit.
No permission to interview has been given yet by Purdue for Painter to interview, but according to our sources, as well as multiple rumors on KHC and Scout's board, Matty has been in conversations with "an Athletic Director from a conference" about their opening. Painter is not in the top-4 salaries of the conference...but has produced top-4 teams in 3 of the last four seasons...
This is reminiscent of the scares like this that Purdue fans got when Gene Keady talked to Kansas State and Arizona State on different occasions; on the second one, I remember telling friends of mine, "I'd be happy either way..."
Can't say I feel that way about this news...And I have no clue how this would affect the incoming class of '09, the star-studded '10 class or JJ's decision for next season.
When we hear more, you will too...
Addendum- you knew this was coming- Happy April First, yo.

I swear if this is an April Fool's joke.....I'd....I'd ...... I'd be very happy.
He's not going anywhere.
Stop it. Just stop it.
First, "we're selling out," and now "Painter is shopping."
Let me beat you to the next one:
"Purdue's 'Baby Boilers' recruiting class to reunite in South Bend next season"
or how about,
"Hope taps Akers, Colletto as Assistant OC, DC"
Happy April 1 - now knock it off.
What about when Gene looked at San Francisco? That was a huge scare.
In other news....
-JJ is going pro
-Hummel's back injury is career ending.
-Moore is transferring to Illinois.
-DJ Byrd has switched his committment to IU.
-Donn Landholm is incompetent.
-Justin Siller has been moved to RB where he will become one of the best RB's ever to play at Purdue.
I wouldn't be surprised if Painter entertains offers and then uses those offers to get more money at Purdue. Who wouldn't want to get a raise?
I know radio stations have thrown out Painter's name for some of the coaching vacancies, but I think it'd be pretty hard to pry Painter away from his alma mater.
