I personally do not care who they hire as long as they stay away from our coaching staff except maybe for one of our guys
Even then I hate to see anyone from this staff end up there. Between them and Rutgers they would burn down the UFM coaching tree success rate.

Friend of mine recently played for him as a Redbird. Maybe not a big "name" but this is Purdue. He could recruit Indiana and Illinois and maybe a little of Ohio and get back to Hope levels.This seems like about the best fit IMO. Purdue grad, has returned for a couple stints as an assistant, interviewed for the job in 2009 and has compiled some wins as a HC at Illinois State. And yep, that mustache:

Dino Babers....couldn't find his buyout info but he's showing very well for himself at Syracuse, not to mention the dumpster fire that is now BGSU since he left

blissfully stupid
without question there are coaches with the ability to recruit and develop talent who "could" win there. but why on earth would anyone with that kind of ability "go there"??? seems to me there are much better openings with considerably better facilities/location/support/recruiting base/PAY, but thats just me...

Art Briles acknowledges role in Baylor scandal
"There were some bad things that happened under my watch," Briles said. "And for that, I'm sorry. ... I was wrong. I'm sorry. I'm going to learn. I'm going to get better."
http://abcnews.go.com/Sports/art-briles-acknowledges-role-baylor-scandal/story?id=41996649
Just sayin': If Purdue wants their best chance to actually win something, they could take the "low road', accept Art Briles' apology, give him a 2nd chance, and hire him. There may be some backlash, he is "damaged goods"; however, he is probably the best coach out there (maybe the only one with a winning record at a power 5 conference school*) that would actually accept the Purdue job.
*I doubt that Lane Kiffin would accept the Purdue job.

Cmon Purdue. Turn on your shitty weather machine that you always use against us, and pull a win out of your asses. PLEASE.

Don't we already have enough contamination in the B1G with the Pedsters (not to mention MSU's percolatinging gymnastics doctor scandal)?
The thought of adding Briles to that mix makes me queasy (and I haven't had my morning coffee yet).

Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
Just sayin': There is CONTAMINATION and contamination. The Pedster's CONTAMINATION involves nobody admitting to any wrong doing, no acceptance of guilt, no remorse on anyone's part, and continuous lawsuits, etc. Briles has admitted to the wrong doing, accepted responsibility for his actions, shown remorse, issued what appears to be a sincere apology, and accepted his punishment (i.e. job termination). America is a country of giving second chances, just maybe Briles should be given a 2nd chance here.

File under: We'll have to agree to disagree.
Pretty sure the multiple survivors of rape by his players would happily trade their recurring nightmares for whatever troubles Briles' sleep. Too bad a neatly-worded apology can't rectify that.
I've seen that second chances line used any number of times before, and given the kind of people it is frequently applied to, it always sounds to me more like a justification for looking the other way, or for not having the ethical backbone to hold someone accountable for their actions. It also tends to strike me as rooted in a Pollyanna view of human nature--an ingenuous belief that leopards can change their spots at will, or perhaps more accurately, that they can change their spots due to wishful thinking on the part of the observer.
As far as I know, the exact amount of money Briles' extorted from Baylor with his lawsuit and his threatened support of rape victim Jasmin Hernandez has never been disclosed, but they started bidding at $40 million. By the standards of every working person in the world, he did not pay a financial penalty for his negligence, rather, he was extravagantly rewarded for it.
As to the depth of Briles' remorse (difficult for me to gauge, given it only surfaced post national exposure) it seems to be measurable in the distance between his outstretched hand and Baylor's wallets. In the case of Hernandez, you may recall, Briles had simultaneously pursued his settlement with Baylor and promised to attend a mediation session on behalf of Hernandez...right up until Art got his money. *Poof* Art's a no-show.
Funny thing about Briles' particular breed of leopard: they are always monumentally satisfied with the state of their spots, and indifferent to their adverse affect on other living creatures, right up until the moment that the spots become common knowledge in whatever jungle they prowl. THEN, and only then, do they display any regret. One might expect a decent beast would have enough character to address his unsightly spots without being compelled. With a sequence of events like Art's, it's hard for me to believe they're sorry about anything other than finally being noticed.
One additional note, that should have a familiar ring to it. In Briles' motion to dismiss Hernandez' Title IX lawsuit against him, there's this gem:
As long as a man does his legal duty, what more do you expect from him?

The sad thing to me in comparing what happened with Briles and whay happened with JT. JT got a 5 year show cause and nobody talks about second chances for him. Yet, here we are with Briles and the dust hasn't even settled, no show cause, and already there is talk of a second chance.....smh smh
