Purdue's Matt Painter takes the Mizzou job (or not)

[McCat]

Why is he going to Purdue?

Stallings: Because he's a d-bag who has Purdue ties.

My son: Engineering

 

[McCat]

To break the cycle of being a UK football fan.

Very noble.

Purdue football <=> Kentucky football

No upgrade there.

Last summer, Painter received an eight-year contract extension that will pay him from $1.3 million through more than $2 million a year with incentives. Missouri has reported to be poised to offer Painter $2 million a season for seven seasons.

Local sports radio here in Central Indiana is reporting Painter will stay at Purdue. Not the most reliable source I know but it just came across the air. We'll wait and see I guess.

 

[BasketvolsFan]

I'd bet he'll accept too.

He would be crazy not to.

 

[Gator H8R]

Purdue to Mizzou is a downgrade.

And when my son heads to Purdue in 2 years, if Kevin "The Office" Stallings is the coach, I will refuse to root for them.

C'mon man. You wont root for your son just because of who the coach is? Rubbish. Sounds like something a UK fan would say.

I don't think he is implying his son will be playing for Purdue, just going there for engineering.

What he said. Stallings sucks, and Purdue just set themselves back by letting Painter go to freakin' Mizzou.

Is it official that Painter is leaving?

Stallings has a good returning and incoming class. He's staying at Vandy.

Wow if this happens. I was laughing at a couple of Mizzou friends who said they would get Painter. No way he'd leave Purdue I told 'em. Oh well.

He had a meeting with Mizzou today. No word on anything being "official" yet.

 

[RollinVol]

Columbia News channel said that Mizzou would know tomm if he was coming or not.

Dick Weiss reporting this on Twitter, along with several others. Cuonzo was their safety net due to his previous Purdue ties...wonder who they'll go after now considering Stevens probably isn't leaving.

Link? There have been about three false alarms, so I don't believe it until about five sources are confirming it.

Lvin has a top rated class comming to St. John's next season...doubt he would leave that and the fact he can recruit NYC players for Purdue.

Thought this was funny. Purdue failed much worse than we did with our rally.

Less than a dozen come to Painter rally

I'm blocked from Twitter at work, but isn't this the same guy who incorrectly reported he was leaving for Mizzou a couple of days ago?

 

[Indianavol4eva]

I haven't seen anything legit that says it's official yet.

 

[IndianaVol]

IF Painter leaves (nothing confirmed yet), Purdue will have an EXTREMELY hard time replacing him after setting a precedent of not giving their coaching staff the resources to compete for titles.
